Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 My labs always turn out fine as far as thyroid levels, antiodies in hashis is always high, liver panel ok. Doc won't check for adrenal issues. I adjust the meds based on symptoms: temps, joint pain, cholesterol, etc. The cholesterol never went down till we added T3. > > > Thanks Chuck, I am chasing a moving target.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Thanks Chuck. I thought I had read somewhere about hormone resistance. Perhaps I don't absorb what is circulating. I also tend to think Sheila's advice about hypoadrenal could be a factor. Once I have a chance, I will pick up some Cortef and see what that does. > > > ...

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 HI Gracia, I wonder as to it's purity. It was an off brand, and I didn't expect it to go completely hard like butter. I agree, butter and the other fats are not necessarily bad for you. I try to stick with the natural fats and stay away from the chemicals (i.e., margarine).
