As I'm reading about the adrenal fatigue seems I have 90 percent of its symptoms and some of them seem specific to it:
intolerance to adequate dose of T3 medications(on more than 6 mcg I get hyper symptoms), difficulty falling asleep, frequent urination, waking up night time, intolerance to loud noises or music, feeling ALL the time irritated, nervous, anxious, getting angry very easy, SENSITIVITY TO SUPPLEMENTS(always wondered why is that but read it in the STTM book), feeling better after 6 PM. Also I made the flashlight in the pupil test and it was positive for adrenal issues. I will test tomorrow 4 times saliva cortisol, DHEA, ACTH, aldosterone, sodium and potasium.
I tested last year saliva cortisol and seems it is too high morning and night time and too low during the day.
However I have other symptoms that can be put to sub optimal T and thyroid - lower sex drive than before, lower libido, low energy, always tired, difficulty to focus, brain fog, always needing warmer clothes than the people around me, difficulty putting muscle and recovery from weight training.
My testosterone is normal but not very good - 500s total t and around 9ng/dl free t. Many doctors say below 15ng/dl you may have low t symptoms depending on receptors sensitivity. Also my FT3 is 2.7ng/l with very high reverse T3, so seems testosterone, thyroid and adrenals may be causing problems all together.
Can adrenal deficiency lower testosterone and thyroid hormones? And which one I need to fix first?
I was ready to start TRT very soon but now I think I need to clarify the adrenal fatigue first
