Often times HypoT have issues with tolerating thyroid meds because their cortisol is too low and the addition of Armour (or whatever thyroid med you take) stresses out an already fatigued adrenal system.

Kimm, has she mentioned a salivary diurnal cortisol test?? Those tend to give a better picture of adrenal health as they test several times throughout the day.
