Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 How much do you take? HC should be split up maybe you need some later in the day to use up thyroid that is sitting g in your blood then. -- 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 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Kathy, I have had occurances of something effecting my throat. There are times that I will go to swallow and then suddenly just can't. It is as if I can get the first part (substance into throat), but then can't close the flap on the trachea to finish the swallowing. I have had this happen both with food/drink and with just saliva. It has even happened while I'm sleeping! It does not happen to often, and I just began treatment with armour and HC. I sure hope it goes away. It really makes me panic. best, Adria Green Mountain Curlies, Inc.~~~http://greenmountaincurlies.official.ws/ GMC Blog~~~http://greenmountaincurlies.blogspot.com If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. Hi Everyone, This may seem like a wierd question, but I was wondering if a tendency to throat spasms might be associated with poor adrenal function. In recent years, as my adrenal symptoms have worsened, I have an increasing tendency toward this. Most often,it is just painful and annoying, but today, it became more serious. It happened while I was eating something, and if it had not been for the heimlich manuver my husband used, I don't think I would be writing this post right now. I have recently begun HC in 5 mg. doses in the morning. I am hoping it is related, so that I can look forward to this going away. Does anyone know about this? .....Kathy T.

I really slept poorly when I did that, so I dropped it back to 5 mg. in the morning.That did help, but not completely. I could experiment with splitting that dose in two, if that might be better.

In the future, I'll make sure I am sitting when I eat something instead of walking around like I did today. I was rushing,trying to get a few things done at once, and this just made it worse.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I read that testosterone deficiency can cause slackening of the throat muscles, worse in men than women, hence the snoring.......... -- Re: Throat Spasms And Adrenal Problems >> Kathy,> > I have had occurances of something effecting my throat.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 I have found I have times when I choke on everything. Water, saliva, food you name it, yes even in my sleep I will wake choking from saliva that " went down the wrong pipe " ... I have also found this corresponds to feeling very tired so I am convinced it is thyroid related. I do not do this hardly ever any more, but last year had a bout so bad while I was driving , I thought I was going to pass out. I actually pulled a tending in my arm form gripping the steering wheel it was so bad. But any time I have asked a doc they have just said, oh everyone does that once in a while, well it didn;t used to be once in a while!

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 I use transdermal testosterone, very small amount. There are now natural plant test. pills. Only alternative docs prescribe them. I also use a transdermal estrogen and natural progesterone either pill or creme. -- Re: Re: Throat Spasms And Adrenal Problems That is quite interesting, , as I happen to know that my testosterone level is "in the dumps".

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 Thanks for the info . I have an appt with my alternative doc on June 20th. My progesterone is way off the charts in the opposite direction. I had been using an OTC Progesterone Cream (which I stopped back in mid-Feb). I've had two saliva tests, one before I stopped the cream and another 6 weeks later. Although there was a drop in the amount, I'm still way over in Prog than I should be. My test, my estradiol, and my DHEA came back in the dumps on the second test. The first test had T and E "okay" with DHEA too low. Presently I am minimumally supplementing DHEA (5 mg per day), and using 15 mg of HC and 1/2 grain Armour. (I just started the HC and NTH about 2 weeks ago). best,Adria ----- Original Message ----- From: C. Mannelli, Ed.D. I use transdermal testosterone, very small amount.

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 When deficient in DHEA, 5 mgs is too small an amount. I was using 25 mgs and my doc did a 24 hour urine and said because I had NO DHEA, to use 90 mgs a day for a few weeks. That sounded way too much to use but I am using 50 mgs a day and do feel better, just started with the 50 mgs DHEA in addition to Lugols iodine, about 50 mgs a day of that too. Can feel a difference in the morning about 30mins to an hour after I use both. -- Re: Re: Throat Spasms And Adrenal Problems Thanks for the info . I have an appt with my alternative doc on June 20th.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Sorry, I meant 50 mgs of DHEA with %) mgs of Ioderal, the pill form of iodine. -- Re: Re: Throat Spasms And Adrenal Problems Thanks for the info .
