Guest guest Posted March 30, 2006 Report Posted March 30, 2006 Hi everyone Its all over. Two years of complaining that I am having an adverse reaction to thyroxine and being told 'no-one has a problem taking thyroxine' is over. How did this miracle happen - I changed to Armour. It soon became evident that I was even more intolerant of Armour. Significant adrenal exhaustion put me onto Cortef but three weeks ago I had that terrible hyper day and have been unable to take Armour since. I saw Dr Peatfield who says it has become clear that I do not have an underactive thyroid and never have had. The raised TSH I was diagnosed with was because adrenals unable to process my own thyroxine. Now three weeks since last dose of Armour the Cortef is doing its job and I am on the third consecutive day of not just being well, but feeling normal, for the first time in about three years. Incidentally I have had to reduce down to 15mgms Cortef because 20mg causes me an asthma type chest problem, and I may yet have to reduce further. So keep fingers crossed everyone that this is not just a temporary improvement, more the start of my healthier life. Dr Peatfield is God on earth. He will get you better. I love you all A very happy Tilly Quote
