Re: clicking noise/Adrenals

[Guest guest]

,

Dr Rind's site has been very helpful to me as well. And I would second the idea

of dealing with the adrenal issue before you start the iodine. Cytomel is used

to treat the adrenal problem and it can be ordered online. It comes from a

different country but others don't seem to have a problem with it. Of course it

would be helpful if you had a doctor to help monitor your T4, T3, Reverse T3,

and cortisol. But it is possible to correct the problem without one, probably

best to increase the Cytomel dosage slowly. You might also check out this site

www.stopthethyroidmaddness.com. There is info there on places that can do

testing for you if you don't have a doctor to help. They do push the idea of

using cortisol as well as the Cytomel, I only use the Cytomel. The cortisol

seems to speed up the healing process for the Adrenals, but I'd rather take it

slow. Dr Rind does not use the cortisol for treatment either.

Another thought - If you have a family member that can read the info as well and

help you sort it all out, that might be a good idea. When I was at my worst I

was getting 4 to 5 hours of sleep every night, much more than you've been

getting. But I still had a hard time reading everything and understanding

what I needed to do to correct my health, not a problem now that I'm feeling

better.

I use Dr Rind's advice on monitoring my temperature, and I note each time I

increase my Cytomel or when I've added the iodine or other supplements. I also

keep track of all my test results. I keep a journal of my symptoms as well, if

I have a bad or good night of sleep and how I feel. This all helps me to figure

out what I need to change with my pills, or keep everything the same. I have

FMS as well, so Cytomel and iodine are not all I'm taking.

I really hope you start feeling better soon!

Hi- little mistake? Cytomel does not treat adrenals.

Did you mean Cortisol replacement like HC or cortef?

It depends on what the problem is with the Adrenals as to what you would use, ie

if they are hypo or hyper.

Cortisol replacement and Cytomel(T3) are used together quite often from what

I've read. Some are switching to desicated thyroid once they believe the

adrenal problem to be resolved. The Cortisol replacement is only used for about

18 months I believe.

Dr Rind uses several adrenal supplements, depending on symptoms, and the T3 or

Cytomel. Cytomel alone would probably not be enough to correct the adrenals.

What is used seems to vary a bit from one person to the next, and from one

doctor to the next.

I've just recently started using the iodine, only 4 drops to start with, even

that little bit seems to be helping.

There is a FaceBook group associated with this site that has also been very

helpful.
