starting to understand

[Guest guest]

I want to thank everyone today who took the time to help and support me. I

think I learned something very important today that I didn't realize before. I

used to think that the most important reason to know if I'm hypo and to take

thyroid hormone was just so I could feel better than I do just treating my

adrenal insufficiency. I think though that today I learned that if I am HypoT

and I treat it, that there is even a chance that my adrenals could eventually

heal. I never knew this before and I figure this must mean that if I am hypoT,

then it makes my adrenal glands have to work harder; is that right? So I guess

to take the higher dose for awhile and be able to tolerate thyroid would be an

important factor in ever healing my adrenals (which are in bad shape)

I always thought the opposite was true/that taking thyroid will worsen adrenals

because of what happened to me in 2005 when I first tried to take thyroid by a

doctor who decided to treat me for 's, and just 3 days of this timed

release T3 made me very hyper (heart racing) and turned my adrenal fatigue into

frank adrenal insufficiency.

This is what I have believed up to now.

EXACTLY!!! Adrenals literally can't heal until you get the thyroid corrected,

and the thyroid can't be corrected until you have enough cortisol. It is a

double edged sword!

Thanks Val, I get it now. Maybe that's also why my adrenals got worse after 2

years on the HC instead of better. Thyroid hormone has just been so scary for

me because of the way I have reacted to it. What do you think the best thyroid

treatment for me would be? Armour, T3, what? How long should I be on 30 mgs.

Also, how long should I be on 30 mgs. HC before I try the thyroid again?

I'd rather be instructed than to do the temp stuff. That's always confusing for

me but if I have to do it I will.

Val,

Did you need HC when you took synthroid? Were you able to tolerate thyroid

hormone without HC? If so, how much?

Armour unless you have high RT3.

I was diagnosed wiht hypo when I was 19 adn it was JUST hypo then.I was on

Syncrap for 25 years and that is what caused not only my adrenal problems but

almost killed me.
