When I started taking Isocort it had a good effect for a couple of

weeks. Then I felt that I was getting weaker, and needed more and

more Isocort to keep going. I started taking Thyroid S and started

feeling much better - mentally, but no significant improvement on the

energy front.

I think when you start taking adrenal support it shows how weak your

adrenals really are, and this may be exaggerated when you are taking

T4 only meds. I have now started on Cortef, and I'm not sure whether

this will be strong enough - I might need prednisolone. Sounds to me

like you need proper adrenal support - Isocort is fine for mild to

moderate adrenal fatigue, but when you are severely adrenally

deficient it just doesn't cut it. Can you bring your doctor's appt

forward?

Don't know about the lesions ...

good luck

Well that explains alot of why you are not doing well. Your body needs

direct T3. You are not getting that in Levo. Why not ask your doctor for

a trial of Armour Thyroid? If he/she won't do it (and MANY won't) we

have places to order your own.

Pamela, I don't know how to help you without the right meds to get well.

I think till you either see your doc or decide to do it yourself you

best bet is to cut back on the Levo. If it adrenal symptoms you are

feeling this should help. Maybe at least make life bearable till you get

in to see your doctor.

Pamela,

I couldn't say for sure that it is, but you may want to look into the possiblily of this being SHINGLES. Did you ever have chickenpox? If so, there is the chance that you may have developed shingles. You can do a google search and see if it sounds like what you have. If so, I think there is medication you can take to help aleviate the problem.

My best friends mother had shingles, years ago, and I remember they told her that stress could bring it on.

If it's shingles or any other form of herpes, l-lysine will help, along with vitamin E. Whatever it is, they may help.DeborahOn 3/31/06, nancy lewis
