  • That sounds just like me... I did the cortisol tests and it was so odd, my levels are way way low except between lunch and dinner when they spike super high. I started taking an herbal adrenal support, not sure if it helping now, but it did for a while.

  • With my docs advice, I am taking several supplements rather than typical thyroid meds. Up until this week I was thrilled, but I may need to rebalance them or something. I take kelp, a natural adrenal supplement, and a natural thyroid supplement made from cow parts... Nasty sounding but the idea is to help my thyroid work…

  • I was about to post with almost the same subject line... I'm having a rough week too. I was finally after a year feeling like me and actually loosing weight had normal skin and really felt good.

I started watching my weight when I hurt my knee since I wasn't working out much, but even with a 1200 or so a day calorie diet I gained 15+ pounds in two weeks and had no energy :(. I really started tracking my weight but I wasn't going…

  • My rings seem to go from falling off to so tight I can't stand them over the course of a day. If I am really good about taking my natural thyroid and cortisol supplements it helps, but otherwise I will change 7 to 10lbs over the course of a day. I tried taking some potassium and it does help.
