I want to try treating my adrenals by myself since no australian doctor knows how to treat a person with adrenal fatigue and hypo and they don't know that taking thyroid meds makes adrenals worse. But don't know how to do it. I know I have to stop taking thyroid meds but how long for?? I'm taking 6mg of HC now, how much do I increase it by each day?? and how quickly do you decrease and by how much???
I believe I also need aldoesterone but getting a doctor/endo to prescribe it is like pulling teeth. My skin colour got darker (a nice tan all over, including areas where there is no sun exposure), sure looks nice..but it's not normal!!!! I have lost a lot of weight....at first I was really happy and thought GREAT!!!!! YAY!!!!" I have no thyroid and I'm skinny..it's a MIRACLE!!!!" but now realised that it's also not normal and due to adrenal fatigue which doctos ignore... This by the way, it's the only good thing about having adrenal fatigue. I feel so tired I can't work anymore and I can't be bothered doing anything or going anywhere...
Urine test showed that I was under range for sodium even though I drink celtic salt with water!! my doctor doesn't believe me of course..... anyway, I am taking more salt now. My growth hormone is way high... don't know what that means.
If someone could help that would be great. Thanks.
