You're welcome Bex, I would suggest having a very good read of this site: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com

heres a page on adrenals and some self tests that you can do at home: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/

also see this page on recommended labwork
http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/recommended-labwork/

you will need to find somewhere where you are to order the saliva test from or you may need a doctor to order them for you. Apparently the 24 hour saliva tests are a lot more accurate than blood levels as blood levels can rapidly change.

You could just start on the Armour (if that's what you've been prescribed?) and see if you have reactions but lots of mercury toxic people have adrenal problems and I believe being cautious is the way to go as you can make things worse. I myself have not yet started Armour despite having being prescribed it a few months ago, as I have high cortisol and seem to be in the early stages of Adrenal Fatigue.

I would also get a copy of your lab results and post them to one of the thyroid websites for input from people who have had to self treat as many specialists in this area unfortunately get it wrong, unless you have got a good specialist! Here's one good forum for that: http://www.realthyroidhelp.com/ or you could have a look at some of the yahoo groups, I'm on this one and it's good: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormones/

Sorry to give you another thing to worry about <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

All the best,
