Re: Overwhelmed by morning anxiety

[Guest guest]

One more test you really should have done is a Reverse T3 as I bet you

ar3e way high wiht the T4 meds. I would lower them and raise the Cytomel

as your T3 is still low and T4 is WAY too high whihc will create an RT3

problem. I would suggest you try ot get regular cortiosl as I believe it

works better as you can adjust the dosages better. DO get the cortiosl

higher before raising the T3 though as your body will not be able to

utilize it with the low cortisol.

The compounded cortisol comes in 2.5mg and 5 mg caps. The doc has

them compounded for more accuracy. My 3.3 level of T3 is midline so I

don't understand why it is still too low. And why would my TSH be

nonexistant? Would it be helpful to go down 25ugm Levoxyl and up 5umg

Cytomel after I'm higher on cortisol? And is severe lower back pain

a symptom of adrenal fatigue?

The lab ranges are skewed towards hypo as SO many people are now hypothyroid

that the avreage comes out MUCH lower than it used to be which is where we need

it for good health. The OLD top of range for T3 was 6.2! And most of us need ot

be almost to that top range to feel well. Your TSH is supressed by the high T4

which your body is not utilizing properly. It seems unable ot convert to T3

whihc is how it is used and that means it is probably going to all RT3 whihc is

inactive, and actually blocks T3 form working properly too. It would help to go

down on Levoxyl, but you will not clear out excess T3 withotu stoppig all T4 in

your system for a few months. Yes lower back pain can be from weak adrenals

struggling ot comply with demands.

Heart palpitations can be caused by so many things and are differnt for differnt

people. Soime they are accompanied with higher pulse, some not, some it is just

a loud pounding particularly when you try to sleep at night. They usually are

caused by hypothyroid or high cortiosl or coffee, or other sources of caffeine

can make them worse.

I was going to post for feedback regarding heart palps. I have not

posted in a while.

I have been on Isocort since June. I added cytomel from Val's advice

and just started back on my T4 while still continuing T3.

Since February when everything crashed I have not been able

to get relief from my heart palps. I have Hashimotos. I am slowly

gaining my endurance and stamina back but still have bouts of

depression and a few dips feeling like I have had the flu. We all

know how that symptoms feels.

Mono started my severe thyroiditis and so my ND tested me for Epstein

Barr and I have that. Has anyone tested positive for Epstein Barr

and how does that effect our Adrenals and Thyroid?

How long does it normally take to get rid of Heart Palps? My ND

changed my Isocort dosage to 10 pellets a day from 8.

Anythoughts or feeback?

The things that stopped my palps after YEARS of having them was lowering

cortiosl a bit, raising thyroid ALOT and magnesium. but other s may need

more cortiosl rather than less. High or low cortios causes palps.

I tested very high level of EBV, but my doc says he there is not way ot tell

accuratelyy if it is re-activated or not. I am still the midst of testing.

I do not have swollen glands now, but four years ago when I went to two

doctors they both told me I was ok. Back then I did not even think to get tested

for EBV ,and that is usually a test they will order if everything else seems ok.

Last year when I moved, I finally got my new doctor to listen to me ,and he

tested for it.

Hi,

I'm 61, hypoT, stage 7 adrenal fatigue, probably hypoaldosterone, and

have Hashi's. I haven't ever been tested for EBV since I know I have it.

Had extremely severe mono at 17. I keep seeing EBV crop up in reference

to thyroid and adrenal problems. In Dr. Rind's chart of " Signs and

Symptoms: Adrenal Fatigue vs. Low Thyroid Function " " History of EBV or

Mononucleosis " rates +++ in the adrenal fatigue column. I believe I have

read that people with Hashi's often have a history of EBV, but I could

be misremembering that.

What I do know is that the throat/jaw lymph glands have never swollen

at all, ever, since then. I honestly think they were completely

destroyed. At 17 I didn't know anything about anything, but I have

wondered if that didn't start off all the problems I have had all of my

adult life.

Sol,

Thanks for you response. You are right, it does state that on his

site. I want to stop this madness before it goes on to long. I am

sad it took 6 months after the mono to get help with my adrenals and

thyroid. Very frustrating. I am much better but still struggle with

dips, depression as to why this is occuring. So many people with

Adrenal issues get better just like Val, so I must keep hope!
