My blood tests showed the following
-low AM cortisol
8.0ug/dL.
Range 5.0 - 25.0
-high calcium
10.3 mg/dL.
Range 8.6 - 10.3
-high magnesium
62.7mcg/g.
Range 30.1 - 56.5
-low sodium
137 mEq/L.
Range 136 - 145
-high homocysteine
16.2umol/L.
Range 3.7 - 13.9
-low WBC
4.18 thousand/uL.
Range 4.23 - 9.07
-high TSH
3.170 uIU/mL.
Range 0.400 - 4.000
-low T4
1.22 ng/dL.
Range 0.89 - 1.76
I've been waking up groggy for as long as I can remember, there's always some word slurring and brain fog but I start getting better as the day progresses. I've been taking 1.5g of magnesium glycinate with some malate, and 300mg of l-theanine before bed for a year but I think that magnesium, glycine and l-theanine contribute to my low cortisol. Oddly enough, my amino acid profile shows a need for glycine which I'm addressing now with Betaine HCL
Here are my questions:
Is it possible that I might have hypothyroidism? my mother has it and I constantly have cold hands and feet, lethargy and anxiety, need lots of coffee to get me going but b12 and folate have been helping recently w/ energy
Do magnesium, glycine and theanine contribute to lower cortisol?
who here has low morning cortisol or hypothyroidism, and how do you deal with it?
Thanks
