My last fasting glucose was 127, Dr was a bit concerned about this (I have Hashi's) Dr rx'd HC for adrenals (did 4xday saliva test, tanked) and said keep an eye on "diabetic symptoms" such as excessive thirst etc. Just don't want to spin myself off into diabetes land with this even though I need it, can't increase thyroid w/out it, tried, went hyPER and it was awful, backed way down on NT. I guess the other question would be, would high glucose be reversible after coming off HC if it really started causing big problems? Concerned about all of this. Thanks in advance!

There is much out there for the hypos, but not much for the hypers. I would really like to see some info about helping with extremely slow metabolism too. I just can't get this weight off, which I suspect is coming from the low adrenal functioning.

After my own diagnoses of Hashi's she was tested and is being treated with 25mg, Levoxyl of course. She still has symptoms and always has had symptoms of Adrenal fatigue. Her TSH is normal but she just won't listen to me. I am as of today being switched to Armour after fighting, begging and trying to educate 5 different doctors who all just kept sending me to a psychiatrist. I am hoping and praying for a miracle and hope that after that miracle my mother will finally listen to me. (From Janie: if you get on Armour, you'll need to either chew it up before swallowing, or mortar and pestle it and add a touch of sugar or honey. Without doing either, the cellulose in it prevents thyroid hormones from being absorbed. I hope your mom will listen to you.) This is my mother.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could have the option of receiving a shot (pending it was safe and effective)instead of having to ingest pills, it would be nice to have a way to test our Thyroid hormone levels and related levels at home, etc. Hopefully, one day there will be even more options...

Thank you so much! Talk about PERFECT timing. My beloved husband and I just half-an-hour ago finished a fraught discussion about my "exaggerated" (or are they realistic?) fear (of pickpockets in Barcelona, where we're going next year). Plus, when I tried to address this with him, he got angry because I was sounding like "the universal expert," which really offends him! We worked it out, and figured out what bothered him and how I can broach subjects without the combativeness (the word he used too!) I exhibited. And then your entry showed up in my box! I cannot tell you what a total HERO you are to me! (I have treated my adrenals successfully a couple years ago; have been on Armour, then Erfa for about 5 years under your excellent info, and am now on T3-only trying to kick out the rT3... (So, um, back to adrenal support beyond a couple of Isocort in the morning...) Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Elenor Oh Janie! Thank you so much! Talk about PERFECT timing.

Low male hormone in females can make one more prone to stress and anxiety here as well as making it hell to lose the weight. Thanks Janie for the new doctor.
