Yes Empower. I would definitely not recommend taking your thyroid meds a couple hours before getting labs. It's going to show high elevation and you will most likely never be able to get to your right dose because defy will stop you short of the right dose thinking your now hyper. If Dr. Saya...

I'm not taking NDT this time. I'm taking synthetic Liothyronine / Levothyroxine. My last dose was my afternoon one at 4pm. Had blood drawn the next day at 10am.

UPDATE: Been a while since I started thyroid treatment again. I'm glad to say this time around everything is going a lot better. I started by taking one 9/38mcg capsule in the AM for one week. Second week I added one 4.5/19mcg capsule in the afternoon for one week. Following week raised the...

Here you go.

They do. I was just prescribed it for my hashi. Haven't started taking it yet though.

My appointment with Dr. Saya was great! He felt my cortisol was fine. Which was a big relief for me since it's one less thing I need to take something for or problem that needs fixing. He also mentioned the time table thing Vince Carter mentioned above and how you have to look at the results...

My appointment with Dr. Saya was great! Should have spent the extra money and dealt with the longer wait to have a appointment with him at the time. I will say this time the wait time for him was MUCH shorter. He was available the following week when I called to schedule this time. Felt 100%...

Personally I'm hoping I don't need to be put on hydrocortisone. Because I feel it will add more variables, tweaking to find the right dose and another thing I have to take. But if he feels I need it I'll definitely do it. But like you said I really don't feel I show the symptoms of needing it...

I've heard the same too. Tommorow is my appointment with Dr Saya. I'm excited to get my thyroid problem taken care of. I feel its the missing link.

I don't have what you would call cortisol symptoms I'd guess. I do have low thyroid symptoms though. The reason I did the test was I started thyroid treatment using NDT towards the end of last year. I uploaded my follow up thyroid labs on here and members said I was pooling. Members commented...

I remember reading the same thing about highest time in morning being around then. Read on the STTM forum you take the lowering pills a hour or two before the time you need to lower. I'm assuming it may differ per each individual. Anyone else want to chime in on my cortisol test results...

From what I read you treat iron not ferritin. Ferritin can be high or "normal" from inflammation. If the inflammation was gone the number would be lower.

I'm excited to say I got my labs done including my cortisol saliva test and made a appointment with Dr. Saya at Defy in two weeks! I'm really hoping everyone here is correct and he can take care of my thyroid problems. I noticed evening though I have been supplementing with different types of...

I got my results back. Looking for input and suggestions. The lady on the STTM forum said I need to lower my evening / night levels and my morning is low and needs to come up. I read her suggested link which sounds likes I should do the lowering part first which may raise my low level morning...

No it didn't. But I wasn't on the right dose or couldn't have been because I was pooling. I'm assuming taking more NDT wouldn't have helped the situation of having low iron at the time and unknown cortisol levels.
