Dear Community,
thank you very much for the great feedback!
I have actually confirmed low cortisol (and DHEA, ACTH) by salvia and blood tests.
Interestingly, my thyroid values are quite good (measured without substitution) -> ft3 ft4 in the middle (ft3 even partially at 60-70%) and TSH/Antibodies normal.
The so called "adrenal fatigue" is according to Ray and Paul Robinson and Dr. Wilson mostly related to a hypothyroid issue.
They all agree that one should not treat laboratory values but the symptoms and here I am now experimenting with my T3
Observations so far:
>I have a lot of respect for the Wilson protocol and am not sure if I can do it regarding (low cortsiol, bloodsugar) fatigue and palpations. Currently I had to increase the dosage very slowly.
>> Maybe it makes sense to add adrenal cortex (thorne 50mg) ? ->But: Paul Robinson mentioned Adrenal Glanduar will supress ACTH even furher...?
>Ct3m is also a bit annoying with the nightly dose and alarm clock set and this feels a bit counterproductive. I do not want to give this method wrong either.
>> Maybe it just needs more time?
>The best dose is currently before going to bed. That solves my original main problem (-> adrenalin crashes around 2-3am).
>> So fixing my sleep will fix the rest over time?
