More high cortisol symptoms - high blood pressure and chest pains

I still find out new things regarding thyroid hormone and adrenals from time to time.

I have recently discovered a new twist on the effect that high cortisol can have on the human body.

I already knew that high cortisol often causes raised blood pressure. I now have more of an understanding of the mechanism behind this.
I also now know that high cortisol can cause chest pains and symptoms like Angina.

Here is an interesting short report by thyroid patient Michelle Weiler about her own experience with bio-identical progesterone use and its effect on blood testing of hormones like cortisol.

I felt it was time that I did one single blog post that provides an overview of the circadian T3 method (CT3M) as a starting point for a thyroid patient or doctor who wishes to find out about it.

What is the Circadian T3 Method (CT3M)?

The Circadian T3 Method is a subset of the T3 Dosage Management Process that I used to regain my health.

I wrote a blog post a few months ago introducing a very benign drug called low dose naltrexone (LDN) and here is the link to this post for those that don't know what LDN is: http://recoveringwitht3.com/blog/could-low-dose-naltrexone-ldn-be-silver....

I have since experimented with LDN myself and found that it had some positive effects and some negative ones.

I have also talked to many patients who have used LDN themselves.
