Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I take Benicar 40 mg once a day, and an additional Clonidine 0.1 mg when/if my systolic spikes over 160, which it seems to do routinely. I have flexeril (muscle relaxer) and Darvocet (pain), but I take them exceedingly sparingly. I cannot take any of the Fosamax-types as they will not stay in my stomach long enough to do any good (come back up within 5-15 minutes. My chol is slighly elevated and the last doc wanted to put me on Lipitor, but I am trying to control it with diet instead. I also have chronic diarrea (radiation enteritis, they think), so that does not help with absorption issues. I have many drug allergies and am sensitive to most herbs, therefore I try to not take something unless I just HAVE to. I also must avoid most dairy products due to lactose intolerance. > > > Do you take any other medications?

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 Barbara, because of what this doctor is NOT doing about multiple nodules and some of them solid and the choking and his being no nonchalant about this part of it, yes, that's still my suggestion, the Deep 6. Reason for that one suggestion is that you're not going to budge until you get rid of this doctor, as he holds the key to the tests and treatments, all having to do with your thyroid. The other tests are a different matter, I would suppose, not knowing if any are related to the thyroid, except for the actual testing having to do with thyroid.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think the only other tests were the normal blood workups (sodium, potassium, etc, which are always borderline low, even supplementing with sea salt and a high potassium diet). He had said he wanted to run " some rather exotic " tests to see if he could determine why my B/P stays so high and is hard to control, as well as why my bones are deteriorating as quickly as what they appear to be. One was a " protein something " , not sure until I get the labs in the mail. When I asked him about all of the other symptoms, like the hair loss, moods, memory, etc, all he could say was that there was a lot of things that could cause them, but gave me no concrete ideas. He also said that if he gave me thyroid hormone, when my labs were in the normal ranges, that it would make matters much worse. When his nurse called me with the results, saying that all except the " D " was in normal ranges, and see you in three months, I just wanted to cry! I only moved to this area in Oct 2007, and this particular endo was highly recommended as being tops in his field, gives lectures/seminars, etc. I am having quite a time finding a good doc of any sort that is reasonably close to this area and that takes Medicare. One of my younger sisters and I moved here, and I have custody of my 10 year old granddaughter, so finances are tight, to say the least. I was diagnosed with reinke's edema a couple of years ago, which is basically swelling and a sticky fluid collection in my vocal cords. This causes early morning nausea and choking, sometimes vomiting. I am told that it is actually another symptom of hypoT, but, again, nothing is reflected in my labs. My ENT scoped my vocal cords about a month ago, and said they were still quite swollen, and that the left vocal cord was bulging up. He also said the only way to know for sure what was causing the bulge was to " cut my throat " and look, because nothing will show up on an ultrasound. I just wonder if it is part of the goiter ... and why would my T-3's and 4's just keep getting lower and lower? I'll admit it, I feel totally lost and confused! Barbara, because of what this doctor is NOT doing about multiple nodules and some of them solid and the choking and his being no nonchalant about this part of it, yes, that's still my suggestion, the Deep 6. Reason for that one suggestion is that you're not going to budge until you get rid of this doctor, as he holds the key to the tests and treatments, all having to do with your thyroid.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 I asked because statins can cause lots of muscle and joint pain (Lipitor and Crestor are the worst). Make sure that you take your blood pressure meds well away from your Thyroid meds. Beta blockers are known to decrease T3. Fosamax is bad on creating pain as well. Have you been tested for glutin tolerance? It seems to effect a lot of Hypo people and one result can be diarrhea. If you are that sensitive to meds, you might be sensitive to a filler in Armour. You might look into compounding so that the fillers are removed. A lot of people don't do well with compounded Armour, but if you are allergic to the fillers, then it might be worth a shot.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Hi, Pat, and thanks for your reply! I'm not taking any statins, as I would like to control my cholesterol with diet instead of drugs, if possible. I am also not on any type of thyroid meds at present, as I believe I need to strengthen my adrenals and rebuild the vitamins that I am low in first, especially the Vit D, B-12 and iron. I also have been trying to enrich my calcium intake, instead of taking the Fosamax type drugs, because of their effect on my stomach. I have never been tested for gluten intolerance, although that will probably be one of my next steps. Do you, or anyone, have any thoughts or comments on my labs? Could I really be as hypo as I feel and it not show in my labs? Any ideas why my FT4's and T3's would continue decreasing? I am sorry to ask so many questions, but I am truly confused! I asked because statins can cause lots of muscle and joint pain (Lipitor and Crestor are the worst). Make sure that you take your blood pressure meds well away from your Thyroid meds.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Barbara, I think that your adrenals are struggling. They start out marginally high, then go low, then struggle to get back into range. They could be the reason that you don't tollerate Armour. My doctor tells me that thyroid nodules are a sign of iodine defficiency. If you can find a doctor that will do a iodine loading test, you can find this info out and treat it with Iodoral. Usually only holistic doctors will perform this test. Dr. Manzanero is in Austin and will test adrenals and do iodine loading, but he doesn't take insurance, you have to file your own, meaning he will always be out of network. (I go to his PA Debbie Winder). Your low ferrin and low B12 could be causing a lot of your problems. Despite what your doctor told you about Free T3, it is essential. I have an article that discusses the necessity of testing Free T3 and Free T4, but I am not in town right now and I have it bookmarked on a different computer. When I get back I will post it. The frees tell you what is available for the cells to use. Your Free T3 could be falling because your body is not converting T4 to T3. (That is why it needs to be tested). Have you had antibodies tested for Hashimotos? That would be necessary too to see if you have an autoimmune problem. Hope this helps some, Pat > > A little background, I am 57 years old, currently living in Round > Rock, TX, hysto in the late 1980's, no HRT since the late 1990's.

Guest guest Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Barbara, I was also wondering about low ferritin possibly being an issue for you, as well as adrenals. Did you get the ferritin labs back? Some of your labs are at the bottom end. I kind of wonder if there is room for improvement. So are you taking Synthroid now? Some folks don’t do well on Synthroid. It sounds like you have problems with Armour but it could be from adrenal or ferritin issues. Where was your back ache? When I was having hyper symptoms from taking Armour with no adrenal support and also had a very low ferrin, I also had back pain. It was bilateral around the kidney area. I personally think it was my adrenal glands aching. I believe that Synthroid is a T4 only product. Maybe you are not converting the T4 to T3. A lot of us hypo folks do not convert things the way doctors assume. If you can’t do Armour maybe you can have a doctor add some synthetic T3. I think that is Cytomel. Although it sounds like this doctor does not understand patient’s not converting since he does not test the T3’s. I’m just brainstorming. Talk about not converting well. You say you are taking evening primrose oil. I used to have terrible PMS. Evening primrose is supposed to help it. It made mine SO much worse. Apparently I don’t convert evening primrose oil correctly. Many of us have pretty normal looking labs and still feel like ****. It is my understanding that some folks need their labs to be at the top or even slightly over the top of range in order to feel well. I would really have a hard time with a doctor that totally ignored all of my symptoms because the labs were normal, especially the goiter that is choking you. Unfortunately it is easy for doctors to dismiss our complaints that are more subjective like fatigue. But it would seem that by your ultrasound and I am sure by physical exam, you have a real problem going on. I feel for you. It sounds like you have your hands full with life circumstances and then not feeling well on top of that. Then you get a doctor that says you are “normal”. You said you felt like crying. I probably would have. Hang in there girl! Kim in No Texas > > A little background, I am 57 years old, currently living in Round > Rock, TX, hysto in the late 1980's, no HRT since the late 1990's.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks all for the replies! I finally got my other labs back today. The ferritin was 38.0, range 11.0-306.8; the sodium and potassium are back up in the normal ranges; and he " forgot " to run the B-12. Kim, I'm not taking anything right now, other than the vitamin supplements and sea salt. I have a " stash " of Armour, as, even though I can't take it yet, I still get my old prescription filled every month so it doesn't expire. The back ache is just to the left of my spine and just below the bra strap area all of the time, and is only sometimes on the right side. I also have lower back pain, but I believe that is from my disk disease and sciata. I will probably keep this doc only until I see if I can get an MRI, or until I find another doc that I can afford. I have looked at Dr. Manzanaro's web site; I wish I could afford to go there, but at this time, that would be impossible.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Pat, when you get back and have the time, I would love to see that article you mentioned. I have been trying to support my adrenals with vitamins, sea salt, etc, but have only been feeling worse. I need to have new salivas run, and go from there, I guess! I have had my antibodies tested several times, and the TPOAb and the Antithyroglobulin Ab's are always elevated. I was taking selenium, as I was told that would suppress them, but would be curious to have them run again. It must not be working too well since the recent development of the goiter! I've been afraid to try the iodine because of the Hashi's, but may break down and do it anyway. My sister, who also has Hashi's, took Iodoral for about 6 or 8 weeks, and she said she really felt better afterwards. Barbara > > > Barbara, I think that your adrenals are struggling.
