Re: getting ready for Armour

[Guest guest]

I did the adrennal and candida questionaires and my husbane scored very high on

both

his body temps are rarely over 36 and he is feeling terrible most of the day

I have just taken ccompassionate leave from my job as a teacher to try to put a

stop to this miserable time for us

yesterday he took the 75mcg thyroxine recommended by GP based on his FT4 =22 and

TSH= 4.1......he was on 125mcg prior to this

around 2pm he began to feel terrible...temp was 34.7 but his pulse was over

100bpm A little later he was sick

could this be something to do with adrenal function?

the feeling passed after a while but left him very worried

Why is his heart racing when he can't be becoming hyperthyroid on this low dose?

I ordered Armour from Value Pharmaceuticals on tuesday, will it take long to

arrive?

Apart from the B12 2x 500ug a day what else could he begin today to get prpared

for the Armour?

I am thinking of some things for candida but don't know what to try to help the

adrennal issue

You can't convert directly when the person can't use the T4 to convert To T3-

you have to do trial and error. Most folk end up with about 3 grains daily.

Yes, it could. I would get his cortisol and DHEA levels tested

as a matter of urgency by telephoning Genova and asking them to send out the

saliva kit as a matter of urgency. The results should be back with you in a

week to 10 days. You could also phone his GP and ask for him to be referred for

a short synacthen test to see whether he is actually suffering with 's

disease, which is a possibility.

I believe that medication from www.valuepharmaceuticals.com

arrives in about 10 days. He needs to buy some Nutri Adrenal Extra and get the

large bottle. Look in our FILES section of thyroid treatment

and go to the folder entitled DISCOUNTS. They have given TPA members a discount

of 33%. Telephone them and they will send them out immediately. Start by him

taking one with breakfast for a week and then increasing by taking another one

with his lunch. Never take them after 1.00p.m. because the extra adrenaline

might keep him awake at night. After a couple of weeks, he can add another

tablet with breakfast and keep increasing in this way until he starts to feel

better. These tablets have all the minerals/vitamins in to help boost his

adrenals. Depending on the results of his 24 hour salivary test, he may need to

start a course of Hydrocortisone if he has adrenal insufficiency.

Again, for further information on adrenals and candida, look in

the appropriate folder you will find in the FILES section.
