I somewhat understand adrenal fatigue and it's relation to hypothyroidism, but if you've ever been hypothyroid, you can understand how hard it is to remember and focus. I don't know why I am suffering from almost every hypothyroid symptom but all of my thyroid hormones check in the optimal ranges. Is it due to the adrenal fatigue? Is there a simple remedy for this? If you may know what the problem is, please tell me in very basic terms.
It is now "Winter" weather (60's) and I am so cold. If my feet/hands get cold, they hurt and take a long time to warm up if I don't expose them to something warm to warm them from the outside. The other day my right foot stayed numb (while I was walking briskly) for about 45 minutes after leaving the beach where my feet had gotten cold from walking on the "cold" (it wasn't that cold) sand. I had socks and shoes on for 45 minutes and it wasn't til the 25-45 minute span that I noticed more feeling coming back to my foot, very slowly. At about the 45 minute mark, I would say the foot was no longer numb, just uncomfortable. The same happens if I stick my hands under the cold water from the tap for a moment. They will take minutes to warm up to where they aren't uncomfortable. I have to wear gloves when taking things out of the refrigerator, if I don't want to freeze my hands.
I've addressed estrogen dominance, I think. I thought tht might be playing a role in my muscle aches, headaches, moodiness, tiredness. It hasn't seemed to help these yet. I have decreased the frequency and intensity of my cycles by A LOT. This I attribute to Calcium D glucarate (Thorne brand helped me, Jazzee brand did not seem to help me). Now, I just need to get my metabolic hormones in check, but, I'm not sure what to do. I did not do well on armour years ago. It made me feel jumpy and agitated. I have some on hand but didn't think I should supplement if I am producing optimally. There must be something blocking my T3 from working. I would rather address that than supplement and risk reducing my capacity to produce T4.
Has anyone been here? How the heck did you get out of it?
