I dont know anything about Phosphatidyl serine.
It is said that is someone suffers from adrenal stress, and is hypothyroid, they will not tolerate thyroid med very well.
In cushings, you have high cortisol all the time, with adrenal fatigue (or adrenal stress) its not that high all the time and makes coping stressful situations more difficult.
how that plays into reverse tee three i _ dont know excuse the keyboard problems
Thanks, LazyMoose. I will try the complimentery medicine forum for cortisol help.
Is high cortisol a factor in Reverse T3? Mine went from an 11 to a 33 over an eight week period. I have a 15.4 RT3 ratio and have cut back slightly on Armour.
So far I have never had any condition that you mentioned except ongoing stress.
Really hoping to get that straightened out, but trying to curtail one stress may cause more.
I accidentally checked best answer! Thank you for the info!
I appreciated both posts!
I ordered the test and my new dr seemed fine with it. I don't know enough about him yet to know if he is more holistically minded. He said he would know how to treat if there was a problem.
When we talk, I will ask if he feels a blood cortisol test would be helpful.
Thanks for the suggestions about adrenal support.) Have you heard of Phosphatidyl serine (PS).I'm wondering if it helps.
I dont know about the DHEAS. As far as cortisol, its not that high, but as you can see, even the ones in range are near the top.
Even though the saliva adrenal is a good test, most insurance accepting MD's will ignore this test and rely on the blood test. Is your Dr more of a holistic type or what I call a regular 'clinic' Dr.? Did a Dr order this or did you get it yourself on line? If you do a blood cortisol for the PM time, you might actually show high cortisol. Blood cortisol tests are offered in two times with corresponding ranges AM, and PM.
There are suppliments that can help reduce stress, some are for adrenal support, meaning they help normalize cortisol, can raise and lower cortisol. Holy Basil is one, Ashwagonda is another. There are others that aim more at the brain than adrenals, the complimentary medicine forum can help you with that. Magnessium glycinate sooths the nervous system and muscles if taken at night away from thyroid med.
