Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi Everybody, I am new here. I recognize some names from other lists I belong to. Nice to see you. My question for you is what is swelling under the eyes mean and how can I alleviate it. I think it's from salt retention. I have been taking at least 1 tsp of Celtic Sea salt a day. It comes and goes with no rhyme nor reason. FYI, I am on 1/2 grain of Armour and 5 - 10 mgs of Cortef a day. Love, Pamela New Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Pamela that is pure & simple from too low a thyroid. It is fluid retention and the sea salt doesn't cause it, low thyroid does. -- Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations The BEST thyroid website! http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hi , If I take more than 1/2 grain, I get hyper (anxiety, brain racing and hateful insomnia). After I added iodine, I found a grain to make me hyper. So, I went to 1/2 grain. Other than the fluid retention under my eyes, I am feeling better with the 1/2 grain and iodine. Also, I take virgin coconut oil which helps the thyroid. Glad it's not the salt. I enjoy the Celtic Sea salt very much. I think it is helping my adrenals tremendously! Some days I take 2 tsps.

Does it make all of you guys as thirsty too? Best, Yes I do drink a lot more water since I have been on the sea salt. I even wake up at night sometimes thirsty and keep water on my nightstand. I keep a 12 pack in the truck at all times. I love the taste of water it is so refreshing. About the only things I drink now are water, orange and cranberry juice,and splurge on an occasional Caramel Macchiato with nonfat milk, sugar free vanilla when I go uptown (I live 25 minutes from civilization) I used to drink a liter of diet sprite every two days, and have 1-2 cups of coffee every morning. My old habits have changed and I feel much healthier. Xenakis's Gardenhttp://www.lindasgarden.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2006 Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 I only drink water, besides my one mug of coffee in the morning. So I drink water all day anyway, but I just could not quench my thirst, I felt like I needed to be constantly drinking! Maybe I'll try again.
