Yea, everyone told me my cortisol is probably low, and the test proved that was not the case.
So what blood work do you want me to order and see?
I can't guarantee they will give me the bloodwork I ask, but I will try after the Covid crisis, its not safe to enter the doctors office rightr...
Cortisol is done by saliva tests, 4x a day. Morning, mid morning, afternoon and before bed. Blood doesn't make sense for this kind of test. Graph is here
It's Hypothyroid btw. I have a T3/t4/TSH paper somewhere filed away.
OK test results finally came back and my Cortisol is very high, way out of range except for around dinner time.
There's a strong thyroid -adrenal connection and thus why I'm not responding as well to thyroid dosages.
Doctors notes:
From ZRT Laboratory
Salivary cortisol is...
To anyone,
If I sound frustrated don't take it personally. It's been a long ass battle lol :P I thank you both for your assistance!
Would it be better to save, and make sure I have a bundle of money first before doing any tests? I really could use that $140 for the adrenal test, for like food...
I live in Southern Cali.
Q: WHAT is a CBC? STands for what?
So let's say i finish the 24 adrenal test. Then what? My docs have already chosen not to help me anyways. Even for my thryroid, my ndt comes 100% out of pocket, which is the only thing that gets me even somewhat better.
I don't have...
To both of you. I will order the 24 hour cortisol kit and get back to you next month. All i know right now is that i have suppressed TSH, which Is normal for someone who takes NDT.

Ahh. Yes, you're definitely onto something. Even playing video games will stress me out, definitely a rollercoaster is a no no at this point even though I used to really like them.
I will take a adrenal test, I have heard this before too. Btw, do u know of any good supplements for adrenal...
Why does diet have to be boring? Most important thing is adherence and is the main reason for failure is lack of adherence. Why is it just "Americans?" Asian foods are far more spiced up. Yea just my opinion tho :P
(Please move if not the right forum) So I know this isn't a medical forum, but since you guys experiment with dosages all the time you know better than docs who only care about money and won't advise.. anyways this isn't a question regarding recreational usage, but mandatory thyroid replacement...
I have some digestive disorders and i want to know if L Glutamine is effective to heal my problems? Does it take years to be effective?
What I have
-Bloating, even fasted it remains my stomach is inflated. Any food, obviously milk. But not pizza.
-Mass amounts of mucus coming up my throat...
I just wanted to know if u think Sibutramine is safe or it deserves to be canned.
-Back in the end of the year of 2010, I was looking for Slim Xtreme. I was 200 lbs then. What I did find was Slim Xtreme by Globe All Wellness.I didn't realize this wasn't the same product as AX Slim Xtreme...
wow, that's crazyyy! Almost the same thing I did too. I lost 50 lbs from 200 to 150 in 3 months. The first 22 lbs came off in the first month and next 18 took 2 months to lose. I also did one carb up day a week, but I ate more than just carbs.My diet consisted of nuts, lean meats, sausages...
Thanks Midwest. I just ordered the Lean Xtreme/ALPHA T2 stack so that has most of those ingredients. Because there's no hard stims like caffeine, I can use it longer term. I think my glucose management should be better with these products, I hope.
Its so weird. As I got older, i developed upper respiratory allergies and food allergies I never had before and strange weight gain. In addition, most carb foods cause a huge spike in appetite and make it impossible to control cravings.
I think once im off this low carb diet, I wont eat more...
