Andrea, Sounds like a good idea to see that you're getting enough replacement cortisol also on getting the more thorough Thyroid test. I'm just reading up on this issue more, thanks to Nicola's answer.

Nicola, thanks so much for the link and the info you provided. I have had the more extensive testing done, actually, Free T3, Free T4, TSH, and Thyroid antibodies (whatever the heck that is supposed to be). ANyway, I'm going to get some opinions on my lab values and do some snooping around.

I didn't realize that the reference ranges were supposed to have been changed a few years ago -- or that the recommendation went out that they should be changed. Evidently, many of the labs have not changed their reference ranges. I also had no idea that we could be treated with something like Armour based on "probable Hypo" due to symptoms and confirmed adrenal fatigue.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Garber, that's sometimes recommended.

ANyway, I'm going to snoop around some more and approach my docs about this. THanks again for the advice and resource!
