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.
