Well, March 1st I started my slightly higher dose of thyroid meds, but by the end of the day I was feeling kindof meh. Next day I woke up with a sore throat and sniffle. 3rd and 4th I felt a bit worse. Today I woke up feeling just dreadful. I coughed up green/yellow junk so might have a slight sinus infection. This all came about from changing the thyroid dose. You know why? Cause my adrenals are still weak. I keep looking at the different pieces of my health to get the whole picture and from the get-go my adrenals have needed serious healing. I’ve been taking a product called Drena Plus off and on for the last few years but the problem is that product has herbs in it that are too stimulating for my adrenals and immune system.

See, when we did saliva testing for me in the past with my Naturopath then I would have low cortisol levels, which is only supposed to be “lower” at night so you can go to sleep and rest well. We tried a product or 2 but I didn’t understand what did or did not work for me, until now. My body is sensitive. I just need only enough adrenal support to give them a slight boost for the cortisol and so herbs and so-called “adoptogens” are not gonna cut it for my issues with lower cortisol. I’m going to try a simple adrenal cortex. If that doesn’t help I don’t know what will. It’s like… ok, so, I start thyroid meds to help with those hormones, yet it also puts stress on my adrenals- which makes it hard for those thyroid hormones to actually get into my cells and work. So, in addition to making sure I keep taking vitamins/minerals that I need- I have to ensure that my adrenals are supported and improving so that my thyroid meds can work 100%. I think the adrenal issue is why I can’t get my weight to go down more than it has, why I’m not able to exercise without just feeling like death, and certainly why I came down with this slight sinus infection from upping the thyroid dose.

Meanwhile, I’ve just been taking it easy today. It’s currently 61 degrees and I opened the patio door to let in some fresh air. I feel pretty “out of it” but feel a little better than I did earlier today. If I feel as bad tomorrow morning as I did this morning then I won’t be able to make it to church but I’ll have to see how I feel.

Welp, off to dry my hair then style/fix it up and try to relax. Happy weekend! <3 Positive vibes to ya.
