hehe, np. I hate crappy endos that thinks they know everything esp. those that dont know how the pathway works. "ie. ultra low cholestrol is great! everyone would be happy if their cholestorl is that low!'
I just p.m.ed you
to be honest, I dont really know. I had a saliva test a long way back last year with cortisol and dhea, and more recently a cortisol via 24hr urine, and that seemed ok. As cortisol vary so much day to day a blood test would be quite useless. I never had acth tested. It has been a while since I...
I too get the cold while hot, hot while cold sydrome too. I totally think its adrenal related. Its a lot better now after going on armour and HC though. You cant convice your endo to try armour? I use to be on T3 slow release and it was crap so I ask my doc and armour and he said sure thing...
Dr. John said to get HAN to have a look into it too. HAN you are hardasnails right? Can you please have a look?:)
I was on sustanon for a while, it did make me feel wonderful and everything, but when i stopped, it was just as bad as before. I dont think T injections is the right treatment. I...
Heya, I've just skimmed your posts and you said you are in Sydney?! I'm in Sydney too. I've found one good doc thats willing to listen and experiment.
Dr. Michael Elstein

After seeing a lot of crappy endos, and thinking all is lost, I...
Yes i know my pathlabs test did not come with any detailed corrective action. I did do it on the recommandation of Dr. John. However, the actual organic acids tested are the same as Genova. As I said, I simply do not have that much money on hand to go through the entire panel of tests.
Ok, I have found out that they do indeed do the NutrVal test here. My problem now is, its way too expensive. Its just over $1000 and is NOT covered by any form of insurance. I noticed that the Metabolic analysis test is pretty much EXACTLY like my organic acids tests that I have attached. If I...
i would say get thyroid tested too. I would say its adrenal.
If its an adrenals problem, adding other drugs will only worsen the problem. Basically dont EVER start thyroid treatment before treating adrenals.
You could start with a low dose of HC and see if there are any improvements. Ur morning...
Dang. I had my hopes up and now its all crushed. I just phoned the Genova Aust. representative see there was no reply from the email I've sent. they DONT do Nutreval. apparently they only do a few genetic tests and some heomo stuff.
Any other ideas?
I've tried eating tonnes of dairy and it...
personally I would stay AWAY from the slow release versions. I tried both slow release cortisol and T3, It was horrible. I just felt wrong all the time. My morning temps would go to 37.5, but I would feel extremely cold. on the old STTM forum val never had any success with slow T3 either
I've...
Gutterpump, I'm with you on that one. The body certainly gets stuck with the hormones. I've been on Hydrocortisol + thyroid for over 1/2 year now, and my body is slowly adjusting to it. Talk about slow! Are you eating lots of dairy and meat now?
I'm stuck in a state of low cholesterol no matter...
I've emailed their Australian representative, but no reply yet. I'll ring them up if they still dont reply in the next couple of days.
I'm thinking of taking ALC/ALA combo to see if it will lead to an improvement in overall wellbeing in the mean time.
What are your thoughts on this and also...
I manged to get my blood results back. finally! (the reverse t3 took more than a month.. pro due to the holidays!)
Thyroid:
FreeT3 4.7 (2.5-6.0 pmol/L)
FreeT4 10 (8-22 pmol/L)
TSH 0.30 (0.30-4.00mIU/L)
Reverse T3 420 (170-450 pmol/L)
Cholesterol 3.4 (3.9-5.5...
Hiya, ive just skimmed your post. I was on the Tane too, two times in fact. Together with dieting, it trashed my system.
You have to get your adrenals fixed before going on the thyroid. Ive went on slowT3 without adrenal support and my daily temp was all over the place. my body temp flucuated...
hypoxia? that is a shortage of oxygen yes? what can cause something like that?
anemia - I dont think that is the cause as all my blood counts are normal
I dont drink, and i take 20mg zinc everyday. So it could a toxic chemical thing
can you expand on metabolic acidosis and pancreatic...
Hi everyone,
After a LONG hiatus I have finally returned to the board to give an update on my status. (I had exams and also, i have been waiting for my results, and also waiting for some improvements). Hopefully now i can contribute again.
I have been on the following combo for the past few...
hi JanSz, i value your input but you might have forgotten that i am in australia and that we lack the different types of tests that you guys have in the US. It would be impossible for me to get those tests done
I've got a sorta catch 22 situation here.
My estrogens were high, so im on airmidex to lower E, but that in turn probably lowered my SHBG further.
2nd. to optimise thyroid function i need to correct adrenals. to correct adrenals i need to be on hydrocortisone, which in turn lowers SHBG accordin...
Thanks JanSZ, i have a post on STTM, and val there is quite helpful. But no one is exactly sure why though.
Your theory of:
make hypothesis
test it
see if it works
Is just what i wanted the my doc to do. Right now the problem is that there are not that many hypothesis to make up. I think...
