> I have tested normal for thyroid hormones with the exception of TSH, which was out of range high but not extremely so. I never fit the profile of someone with thyroid problems (I lean more towards symptoms of hyper though), but my symptoms line up exactly with those of adrenal fatigue. I never knew what to do with the high TSH info. My naturopathic dr said I was hypothyroid based on my TSH, and gave me bladderwrack (iodine source) which I never had the courage to take because I have never done well with iodine or thyroid hormones. Now I have hope that I am similar to cases 5&6 in the study whose TSH normalized when the adrenal function improved. That finally makes sense.
Yeah, think there must be so many different thyroid dysfunction scenarios... is it primary hypothyroid and secondary hyper/hypoadrenalisim, or primary hypoadrenalism and secondary hypothyroidism....or primary hypoadrenalism and secondary hyperpituitary. Think it must be important to have a map of what's going on, but seems most practitioners just want to give T4 or iodine. No one really talks about healing the adrenals or thyroid before trying to boost them. Have been trying some of the ideas out on my girlfriend using kinesiology and homeopathic testers to work out how to help heal her thyroid.Ray
