: Re: Once Again, the Blood Pressure Question

June 13, 2006

Val, thanks for the post. I just wrote a big long reply but the site

lost it so I have to start over.

I am taking about 3/4 of a teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt a day. I am

at 17.5mg of HC and have been on it a total of 10 days. No more

thyroid dumping as of the last 4 days so I can go up. My doc only

gave me 17.5mg as a prescription but I have my own. I am 5'10 " and

weigh 185. Don't tell anyone! I do look pretty good thought! :-))

You do think my blood pressure is too low? How will I know if I need

Florinef? I have not had my Aldosterone tested. Will that tell me

if I need it? Is that a blood test? Duh...I have read so much here

I should know that. So, if my Aldosterone is low then I need

Florinef?

I want to be totally educated before I go back to see my doctor since

she is so new and green. She has gone with everying I have asked of

her so far.

Thanks for your time.
