Re: NAmX stopped temporarily - procedure for recommencing, anyone?

[Guest guest]

There are problems with some messages at the present time.

You will have no doubt noted during the past few days that I have posted

several messages to the forum that I wrote say, two weeks ago, that never got

delivered. I know that I responded to your message below to say that I had

never seen recommendations for people to stop NAX before having their levels of

vitamins and minerals tested but that if anybody knew differently, to let us

know. It appears this is yet another message that may well appear on the group

in a couple of weeks time.

Luv - Sheila

As no one seems to know the answer to my

message a few days ago (No. 92525) re stopping NAmX before having tests for

vitamins and minerals, I`ve taken a chance and stopped my NAmX and will do this

for about a week before I have the blood test. I don`t want to waste this

opportunity by having results skewed by supplementation.

Once I have had the blood test and recommence the NAmX, will I have to go

through the same procedure of stopping my Levothyroxine for a week again? I

believe you cannot start NAmX if you are on Levo.

I have been on NAmX for about 5 weeks.

Thanks, Jane

I stopped NAXs to have nhs adrenal bloods done. I seem to remember not stopping

immediately, but doing it over a few days, then building up again afterwards

very quickly. Dr P's assistant told me that once you've been taking them for a

while, you can start them up again over a few days rather than weeks. I didn't

stop thyroid meds.

Not sure how it will impact on your levels of vitamins and minerals - I guess it

depends on how long it takes stores of each one to run down.

Hope that helps

ok Sheila thanks for replying - yes, seems to be a prob with .

Oh well, I`ve taken the plunge now and stopped the NAmX but will just stop for

about 5 days and get tested next Monday, then recommence NAmX without stopping

my Levo.

Thanks, Jane

Thanks Susie, that`s helpful. I`m checking how long it takes them to run down.
