Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 - thank you for responding! I have no idea what is going on in this crazy body of mine. My blood pressure is fluctuating from 165/95 down to 124/70. All my doctor said was she would see me in six months - yeah right - don't hold your breath. I have an appointment with a new doctor in August. Hope she LISTENS to me. I know I need a doctor to oversee all the stuff I am doing to my body and all that is going on. I lay in bed at night wondering if I am just going to lay there an die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 ty, J. I checked my bp yesterday - it was 116/65. I am going nuts with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I don't have a bp machine but maybe I should get one. I've been just checking it at whatever pharmacy I happen to be near - walgreen's, osco, etc. I am due to have my cholesterol checked again since it was doing the same thing last year - shooting up and up and up. Of course my stupid doctor just said - I'll see you in six months. I took her all the stuff about my hair analysis and my adrenal fatigue, told her that it might be causing all these problems and that was her response. I obviously am hunting for yet another doctor. It is so exhausting just thinking about starting over again! It is like potty-training a two-year-old all over again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 no - i have not used any sea salt or whole unrefined salt. I think it is because of the HC helping my body to start functioning properly once again. At least that is my theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can never find the article I read about this now, but I did read that low sodium which is almost always present in adrenal fatigue, will case the body to retain fluids which in turn raises BP. I started sea salt with BP at 248/142... I now stay around 128/72, well it bounces higher in the heat, but most the time it is behaving now. Are you still on meds Val? I am having trouble with arrhythmias and palps from the meds but the GP seems to think that this is par for the course.......

The fluid retentoin that I got from that is almost gone. I was off them all for about 4 years! Well thjat is encouraging. What a role model you are girl! The GP told me I was be on BP meds for life. She does not know I am on h/c or Armour. Can I ask you Val if you think it is important for her to know this because of the BP? I am not keen to tell her to be honest because I know she will go into an uproar but I am being nagged.....

I cannot see any advantage to me in telling the GP. Just thought you might see something I did not. I ws put on Atenonol before I was diagnosed hypoT. I spent the first month bedridden from it. The first month was the last month. NOVA Counselling & Healing Services Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine sure didn't! And the ones that O think there is a connection thing HYPER causes high blood pressure. Now iam not sure if it does also but I kNOW hypo does. My doctors had me on Atenolol and that is what FINALLY almost killed me. My hypo was so bad then It wouldn't have taken much to put me down for the count. Spo while I am sure Atenolol is a great blood pressure med, it is NOT for us with hypothyroidism. -- 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 July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I don't think those BP machines are very accurate at pharmacies. I did a reading at one that said it was very high, the next day at the docs done by a nurse, it was normal. carolynj77@... wrote: I don't have a bp machine but maybe I should get one.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I broke down and bought my own machine. My bp was 127/66 in the pharmacy. I just took it and it is 113/62. Obviously my high blood pressure is being corrected with the HC. Unbelievable! I am not on any medication for it, and it was 155/95 twice at one doctor's, and 165/95 at another doctor's, just within a week of each other. This was just 4 months ago. I can't wait to get my cholesterol tested again. It had also gone very high and they were talking about medication for that also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 all I know is that I already feel like a new person. I know I have so far to go, but it is amazing to actually feel like moving from my chair once in awhile. My temps are still in the 96.4 - 97.0 range, and of course the constipation is such a problem. Some of the achiness and joint pain has gotten a little better. The white spots have not changed at all. My migraines are a little better - for the first time since I was 14, I think. In other words, you and a couple of others on these boards have really saved my life. I really think I was dying. It will be interesting in a few months for me to do the saliva test again and see where I land. I am sure it will be better than stage 7, that is for sure!
