These are all adrenal issues you doctor is looking at - and I am now digging into all this myself. I do not have a whole lot of information yet - but here is a link that I liked

http://adam.about.com/encyclopedia/ACTH.htm

It is suspected that I now have adrenal exhaustion - and until I get that under control - my thyroid issues will never level off - until I get those adrenals healed.

The adnrenals is the base hormone site that controls almost all the hormone endocrine system. If they are off - most likely thyroid issues will also be effected. AND if they are the problem - people with thyroid disease will have a tougher time getting that in balance too.

I am so excited in finding out more on this and I am convinced finally that this is my root cause.

Good luck reading the article above.
