Hi Kako, thanks for sharing what has helped you. Sounds like a good regime. It seems people all have their own personal journey to wellness.

It's all a lot for me to take in, so I am just going to do what the doctor ordered for now. I'm glad that she's a specialist, plus is into alternative therapy. So she knows her stuff.

Im not really taking anything that would be harming my liver, but whatever is wrong with me probably is because it's all strain from the underlying condition. I'm eating very well and not taking supplements right now, but when I do, I keep them minimal and they are usually helpful to me in some way.

My liver testing turned out excellent at my last test, so there is more going on here than that, plus what i have doesn't seem to show up on a test and it's more serious than how I was with just mercury poisoning. Something that just isn't shifting or improving, regardless of efforts.

I spoke to my doctor before and she already knows about these other tests. What she did with me she said was very good and she's experienced in what turns out most accurate. I had urine and blood testing, plus had to take iodine too as part of the testing.

Turns out my cortisol is normal, my DHEA is normal, but T3 is low and she said my body wasn't excreting much iodine from the test, which showed it was desperately hanging onto it, as though it needed it.

She was not interested in getting me the 24 hour saliva test, she was satisfied with the testing she gave me. I' may do the temperature testing though.

She did tell me that she's aware of the adrenals and relationship to thyroid and what can happen sometimes if the adrenals need the help and when you take stuff for thyroid. she told me the symptoms. So if I get them, I'll know to stop the treatment.

She is also sending me something for my adrenals that might help me. She said it may also be related to why I have to sit down permanently and am having trouble standing or walking. She feels this is related to one of the adrenal hormones.

So it'll be interesting to see what eventuates from all this. I'm not personally keen on taking ANY hormones at all and wish it could just be done through supplements. But I'll do this and see how it goes. I can always stop at anytime if I feel uncomfortable.

Certainly if no improvement results, I'm not wasting too much time on it. Already I'm not overly happy, I feel that the problem is being missed by everybody, including me.
