Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Chuck, At this point, I am feeling so rotten. I've been taking it this way since the 18 of Dec'03. I can't really give you my opinion on it because I feel worse than ever and I can not detect any changes in weekends or during the week. sorry, when I do I will let you know. -Dana -- Re: Lab result questions Sales@bargain_hunters_dream wrote: > > ...

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 With a high cortisol number like that you are in a hyper-phase for adrenal burnout --where as the adrenals are putting out so much cortisol to work with the thyroid meds and increasing the thyroid meds will not work --doing so will cause more cortisol to be produced until you do some damage to them that is not so easily repaired. Slow down on your thyroid meds--overdosing is overdosing your adrenals next do the homework here and figure out what stress is going on in your life for everything to stop working correctly. You have triggered your adrenals to overwork and two things cause this---too much stress (ect) and too much thyroid hormone. I don't know what is going on with the vitamin D and I am so busy now or else I would look it up for you--I know we did something with this before-- But usually depletion of vitamin D is more in hyper's I thought?? But let me tell you that all these years being on synthetics will cause this depletion of calicum and loss of bone. This is why tells everyone to take armour if they can. Natural hormone (pig or cow) does not cause this kind of long term side effect. And forgive me everyone I usually post links to any info I spout --but I am so busy lately with going back to work---- anyway so it appears taking synthetics all these years has caused you to lose vitamin D --most likely calicum too---need to get on armour ASAP And you do need cortisol here to stop the adrenals from burning out. Giving cortisol either over the counter (isocort)(adrenal glandulars) or cortisol itself will stop this--talk to your doctor print this out if you have too--and please look everything up. Once you stop your adrenals from overproducing cortisol you will feel better again and go easy with them with thyroid hormone---they have to work with thyroid hormone and overdosing on thyroid overdoses them. Many make this mistake because doctors have NO brain when it comes to regulating adrenals and thyroids together. You also will need nutritional support as well---And most like dhea is so important for those adrenals---but if you are scared to make yourself the guninne pig---get tested for dhea as well, if that number is low than you know your adrenals are in the hyper-phase as well-- The average dose for a adult is 25mg of dhea---go every other day if you are scared. Anything will help at this point and mutilple vitmains. extra C as well good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thank You! I will look into all these possibilities if my second lab reports support the first's findings. -Dana -- Re: Lab result questions With a high cortisol number like that you are in a hyper-phase for adrenal burnout --where as the adrenals are putting out so much cortisol to work with the thyroid meds and increasing the thyroid meds will not work --doing so will cause more cortisol to be produced until you do some damage to them that is not so easily repaired.
