THYROIDECTOMY AND ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY
by Deb5157, Jun 20, 2008 04:02PM
Since having my thyroid removed in 2003, I have developed "sluggish" adrenals. My human growth hormone is also low since the surgery. If you are administered human growth hormone, will your adrenal function pick up? I was on cortef for the adrenal problem initially but am now off. Muscles, bones and joints all hurt since coming off cortef. Will I have to take both?

In the meantime, you can research adrenals and some things you might consider doing to benefit them. I know I can't get a diagnosis of adrenal fatigue, but I have almost all symptoms. Most drs don't acknowledge that as a disease. So if you got treated for it, you must have a pretty good dr. He is probably the best one to answer this question for you.....
