Yesterday, I received a copy of my labs in the mail. He had scribbled notes all over them and is changing my meds and adding another supplement. Back to the vitamin shop AGAIN!

Anyway. He said my thyroid is overly optimized now and my adrenals are as well. So he dropped my afternoon dose of Cortef and reduced my afternoon dose of Armour Thyroid by 1/2 grain. He also said my testosterone is low and he wants me to supplement with something called 7-Keto DHEA at 25mg. I’m not educated on hormones at all so I’ll have to do some research on that one. My DHEA was low as well but the notes say that could be due to the Cortisol levels being a little high.

I got the results around lunch time yesterday so I went ahead and adjusted my dosage of the meds. Well, actually I called the pharmacy first to make sure I could just drop a dose of the Cortef all at once and he said it was fine.

All of my markers for other autoimmune diseases were negative as we expected that they would be. I showed negative for gluten as well but low on another test. The notes say that could indicate a false negative on the gluten test. Added to the fact that I haven’t been eating anything with gluten in it and that test was pretty much a waste.

I’m not feeling all that great today but I figured it may take a bit to adjust to the difference in dosage. And my period is suppose to start soon which always brings with it a few days of feeling like crap. Hopefully it’s just a few days this time because I have to go out of town for work next week.

I may try to make an appointment with him to discuss the results but I haven’t decided yet. I think we’ll just see how this goes first.
