Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Awe - Shucks , now you have made me blush all over . If I am any of these, it is because I have been there, worn the T-shirt and come out on top, so I know exactly what our members are going through and feel their sheer frustration. More and more, I feel determined that we have to put a stop to this, and I can promise you that I will do everything I can to succeed.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Not only that, but the answers to everyone else's questions are so helpful too. They are responsible for me ever asking a question of my own and getting the help I needed.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Oh no!! lol, doesnt that wig keep you warm? I would love to live in Yorkshire it's so beautiful, Im having a yukky day today really grouchy and tearful can really feel a dip in thyroid hormones, I can really understand why people up the dose of Armour before they are supposed to, I feel like I could do with a tad more, it's only my ninth day, Sheila I hoped your snuggled up on your sofa with your quilt now, its suppose to be very cold tonight. you need one of those warm scarves to wrap round your head.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks Sheila I will if you think that will be ok, that will be 3 quarters am and 3 quarters pm, ok? I do read a lot of good reprts about Armour and cant wait to be feeling more positive, have been sleeping a lot more since on Armour and a few nights of the week going to bed around 9 and sleeping right through, last night we had a power cut and I went to bed at 8.10PM and slept right through till 7, havent done that in a long while, still feel tired though.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hi Sheila Margaret here.I managed to have my 9am Cortisol blood test on Thursday and will no doubt have the results tomorrow.I started Armour Feb 1st and have been upping slowly.Current dose 2and half grains since 1st April .As you know my recent TSH came back 9.6 .I feel okay and not like a 9.6 really exept for one thing.All my pains have returned which had gone on thyroxine.Back of knee hips dead foot etc.Also when I started my pulse was 59 to 60 BPM resting.Now since being on 2and half grains is 74BPM resting.Very strange isnt it. I dont know wheather I should plod on and go to 3 grains in another 16 days or add a bit of thyroxine or wait for Endoprat in May and let him see results and get a Free T3 and T4 done.What do you think. xxxxx Margaret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 This is probably because your body is unable to absorbe all the thyroid hormones in Armour because you have low adrenal reserve. This MUST be treated with the appropriate medication and if the NAE isn't doing the trick, then you will need hydrocortisone replacement Margaret. However, wait and see what the NHS test reveals - if you have 's disease, this should show up, if you have low adrenal reserve, it probably won't, and you will have to go down this road on your own. luv - Sheila I dont know wheather I should plod on and go to 3 grains in another 16 days or add a bit of thyroxine or wait for Endoprat in May and let him see results and get a Free T3 and T4 done.What do you think. xxxxx Margaret No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well, if being hypothyroid causes hair loss on the outer third of your eyebrows, there is no reason why once you are on a medication that starts your thyroid working again, you should not grow that hair back again. It happens to quite a few people that once their adrenals start functioning better, their thyroid does too. Luv - Sheila Is it my imagination or are there really signs that my eyebrows are growing in length and luxuriousness -- after a year or more of use of corticosteroids and T3, along with all and more of the recommended vitamins and minerals? Perhaps it shows the need for dogged perseverance. Hans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
