Amie,You have adrenal problems.

I am wondering if there is some sort of 'leveling out' period for taking

Cytomel. When I started it, I noticed immediate energy improvement, and my

body temperatures went from averaging 96.2-96.7 to 98.3-98.6. I did not feel

100% better but was getting there.

Hi Gracia,

Well that is one thing the doctor already pointed out in the beginning of

summer, that I have adrenal probs. I read the link that you sent and I am

already doing/taking at least 80% of the things that are recommended on

there, plus licorice root and CoQ10 as well. The adrenal treatment started

in early summer and the thyroid in August. And to be honest I notice very

little difference with the adrenal treatments, but I do them anyway.

So they are both being treated at the same time with different things.

The most effective adrenal treatments are DHEA and cortisol. Licorice did

nothing for me.

My DHEA tested in the middle of normal levels and I'd rather not mess with

that since I have some other hormonal imbalances and that might make it

worse!! I've not tried cortisol but seem to be doing ok so far on the

vitamins and dessicated andrenals and pregnenolone, which for me was very

low. If my doctor says something else on Friday when I go for my f/u then

I'll post anything new.
