Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Kim, Do you take any magnesium? Bob > > I feel really weird today. I've been having awful headaches and an occassional dizzy spell for about 10 days now. On the advice of the group I stopped increasing armour and dropped back to 3grains about two weeks ago as they felt increasing by 1/2 grain every 10 days was too fast.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Bob No. I did start taking some cod liver oil but it kept making me burp so I stopped. Should I take it and if so How much? Should I be taking anything else....... Oh and my joints feel very arthritic today too. Thanks Bob Kim X > > Do you take any magnesium? > > Bob > > > > > I feel really weird today.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Kim, Some magnesium wouldn't go amiss, about 100-200mg (as magnesium) to get you started; magnesium tends to be low in hypothyroidism, since the cells boot it out during hypoxia and it gets excreted along with potassium. A quick check of your electrolyte status (GP) would be very useful to establish that you are not at risk. Is your blood pressure too low during those dizzy/spaced out episodes...it probably is. Orthostatic hypotension is one of the signals that adrenal steroids may be adrift. best wishes Bob > > Bob No. I did start taking some cod liver oil but it kept making me burp so I stopped.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 -Thanks Bob Despite my body temp creeping up to being regularly 36.2 36.3 (only occassional 35.9) my blood pressure is very erratic. Often drops 20-30 points on standing. Sometimes only about 5 though. My top Bp ranges from 130 - 150 and the bottom is anywhere from 75 - 98. Nothing has seeemed to stabilise that. Dr P is releuctant to suggest hc for me. I'll try the magnesium. Thank you Kimx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Kim, Take it at night, then you won't burp and it will absorb during the night. > Subject: Re: dizzy and spaced out> > Bob No. I did start taking some cod liver oil but it kept making me burp so I stopped.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hi Kim, Are you taking new formula Armour? I changed from L.thyroxine to old Armour and felt well. But when my old Armour ran out and I started on new Armour I felt unwell again as I did on L.thyroxine. I have changed to Thiroyd from Medica Pharma and I am feel much better. judy > > I feel really weird today. I've been having awful headaches and an occassional dizzy spell for about 10 days now. On the advice of the group I stopped increasing armour and dropped back to 3grains about two weeks ago as they felt increasing by 1/2 grain every 10 days was too fast. But today I feel like I haven't slept for a week. I can't focus my eyes for long. They just want to close. I'm very foggy brained. Typing is really difficult. Took 5 goes to type a T. When I walked up stairs I was very breathless and my muscles were burning again. This has been progressing slowly but today its all on top of me. > > I am on 3 grains armour 4 nutri adrenal extra 4000mg Vit C 30mg Q10 selenium. Serenity. I often take 1/2 tsp bicarb but not every day. > > Eating loads of eggs again. > > Not sure if its the armour or my adrenals. Thinking of stopping everything for a couple of days and starting again. Before new armour I was on 8 nutri thyroid a day and was starting to be almost well. I now feel like I'm slipping back to where I was in the dark days. > > Any advice would be welcome. > > > Kim X > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 -Thank you all for helping. I've ordered some of that throiyd today and I'll see how that works. Tommorow I'll go back on the nutri thyroid as I was almost alive with that. :-) Kimx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 postural hypotension is a big sign of low adrenal health my bp is roughly the same as yours siutting 150/80 then standing it goes south 135/70(sometimes more) or something like that! work with dr p naturally and try and use the bp drop as a marker of improoved health!...
