Hi,
So I got my most recent 24 hr saliva cortisol and dhea back. Cortisol was high and dhea was low 8 months ago, now dhea is still low (but better) and adrenal function is low. I posted my result here.
I posted my bloodwork in the bloodwork section, and I'm not sure how to link it here.
What do I do now? I'm exhausted all the time and I don't know whether the low cortisol is because thyroid isn't optimal yet (tsh says yes, but T3 and T4 still in bottom of range and temps have dropped again) or due to something else. I'm so lost and frustrated, and I know I have already asked a ton of newbie questions.
Waking temp is consistently 97.0
Afternoon temps are 98.2, but both waking and afternoon temps were good 4 weeks ago.
I know if I go back to NMD he will add adrenal support in the form of dessicated adrenal cortex, but Peat idea is that it isn't necessary? I'm confused (again) I feel like every step forward is followed by two steps back...
