Advice Needed!

[Guest guest]

Hi Val - could do with some advice...My adrenal labs from last year

weren't too bad

cortisol

8am......19 (13-24) normal

noon......2 (5-10) depressed

4pm.......6 (3-8) normal

midnight 11 (1-4) elevated

burden..38 (23-42)

dhea....10 (3-10) normal

insulin

fasting........<3 (3-12)

post prandial..<3 (5-20)

so I tried Isocort which didn't help and licorice which I thought was

helping i.e. my temps were pretty stable. But funnily enough the

licorice I was using was discontinued so I tried another brand but

that upset my bowels.

In the meantime I had a sneaking suspicion that my temps could be

stable without support...and yes it was the case. During my period

and the 2 weeks before it I have temps that don't fluctuate by more

than .2 it's the post-period part that wobbles a bit.

So I decided to try some Armour to see how far I could get. I ramped

up slowly but only got to 1 1/4 grains before I started having a fast

pulse in the early afternoon - related I think to my low noon level

(tried sea salt to calm it but no). Temps stable all the while.

What would you advise to do? I ordered some HC and it arrived this

morning. Do I need a full replacement dose? Have come off the Armour

to start afresh with the HC.

Thanks
