Not just thyroid

[Jane159]

I`ve a broad spectrum question about the adrenal system as well as the thyroid: I had a saliva test done in Nov. 07 for thyriod and adrenal system.It showed I had a very high TSH and a maladaption cycle phase 2 with low morning
cortisol. The NHS in the UK don`t rely like saliva test..The bloods for TSH were within normal limits, and the test for total cortisol was normal.. Though I have found myself on 24 hour urines I had done: That there was poor conversion rate between cortisol and tetra cortisol.. Suspect adrenal hypoplasia late on set?
I`ve had some steriod support for a couple of years, but on the whole only been taking them if I start passing too much urine along with salt replacement in milk.

I had a short ACTH test today.. About an hour after the injection of ACTH I found it hard to co-ordinate, I became very stiff in my spine and ribcage and could not walk for several hours.. Back in Nove I had a heart test where the clinic speed the heart up and scaned me. About 2 hours after that test the same thing happend..

I`ve had this problem initually since a factory near my house installed faulty air exraction units..
The equipment should not be on the market.. But the officle bodies are not concerned.
So I was exposed to large levels of electropollution.... I was carrying a lot of static energy and was buring for weeks afterwords just like I had been hung out to dry in the Sun.. Sun cream sometimes helped.

Any suggestions?

I don't use salivary tests either for thyroid or adrenal insufficiency eval.

Would wait for the ACTH stim results, not unusual to have some stimulation symptoms with ACTH - probably signifies normal cortisol output.
