I am 48,  female.  I am hypo and diagnosed with hashi.  I am on 30 grain armour and 1/2  5 grain cytomel. Labs us were tsh 9.7/ free t 3 2.8/ free t 4 .95.  My doc is trying to treat my adreanal glands (completed adrenal hormone test, ion profile and alcat testing.  I am unable to take anything he prescribes because I get very dizzy and brain fog although I exercise and eat healthy. I have been on synthroid in the past but I am also dealing with hairloss, synthroid does not help.  I have tried cortef but that gives me a headache and trouble speaking even on a low dose.  My dhea is low so I just started dhea .  I there another way to treat my adreanals and  am I allergic to armour.  Synthroid seems alittle better but I was still dizzy.  I was tested for menaires.  My dizziness is like motion sickness and I have horrible  with short term memoryloss. help

What kind of vitamins doctor gave you? may be it is the excipient. (gluten or lactose intolerance) or excess of one vitamin/mineral, so may be you just need  B” vitamins – in particular, B-12, B-5 and B-6, Vitamin “C” ,and some minerals that help with adrenal function like zinc and magnesium.
. Have you tried liquid vitamins? (free of lactose and gluten) ?  Have you tested your serum Vit D and Calcium? How do you take your vitamins (during meal or empty stomach) . About the adrenal glands,treatment depends on the cause and severity of the adrenal insufficiency and whether this is a primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency. First you need to know what else do you have, but I've read that : "you should not take Armour Thyroid if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Armour Thyroid; your thyroid gland is overactive; or your adrenal glands are not making enough corticosteroid hormone". So I think your doctor knows what he is doing, you must wait for the other analyses/diagnosis. May be some people here had the same experience and can give some good advice.
