Hi
My name is Clare, I am 32 years old and for he past six years I have been suffering from severe fatigue, weight gain, depression, irritability and I am always cold even during the summer. My doctor says my thyroid is normal but my recent results shows my TSH is 4.7 range 0.37 - 4.7.
Here in the U.K they will not treat until it is 10 as I do not have antibodies.
I have done the Adrenal saliva test privately and it shows extremely low am. cortisol, low at lunch time and high early and late evening. My am. serum cortisol is 229.
I suffer with severe PMT
I am getting nowhere with my Doctor and out of desperation I have purchased some Cortef and I have been taking 22.5mg a day for three weeks. I have also purchase some Thyroid - S but I read it is best to sort my adrenals before I start taking it.
I do not feel the Cortef has helped much and was thinking of changing to Prednisolone, or would Pregnenolone be better use.
I have just read that the Cortef can further lower progesterone, can anyone please tell me if this is right.
I am due my period and today I feel dreadful.
I have read today of Ray Peat's Progesterone Oil and would like to purchase some. Can anyone point me in the direction of where to get it.
If anyone can offer me any advice regarding any of the above I would be very grateful.
Many thanks Clare
