Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have been taking my temp in the mornings for several days and it's never over 97....this is so aggravating. Now I'm being told by a lady on my low-carb board who seems very knowledgable about thyroid matters that not treating my thyroid and adding testosterone is only going to make me feel worse. Thoughts? Terijo wrote: I note that while your T4 is in the top part of the range, your T3 is justunder midpoint. You may not be converting as well as you should. Manypeople do not feel well UNLESS these numbers are in the higher portion. Iam being judged by Broda ' protocol, i.e., if you have a low basaltemperature you are hypothyroid. Broda felt that this was the besttest we have. Take your underarm temp immediately on waking, before anymovement (have a glass mercury thermometer within easy grasp) for tenminutes. If it is lower than - he said 98.2 was normal - you arehypothyroid. When I got on this roller coaster mine bounced around wildly(adrenal) but only rarely up to 98. anything and then only during the day.THere is a great Broda ' website.So it COULD well be your thyroid in part. As to the nodule on your lung, doa search on the internet on "Cancer Salves" and you should see a websiteowned by the author of a book of the same name. IF you are veryadventuresome (like me) you will order the book NOW and possibly choose thesalve you would like to use for what may or may not be a cancer - and orderthe materials to make it. You can buy a ready made black salve but thisauthor feels this one is unnecessarily brutal. (I had a friend use it toremove a breast lump without painkillers and she said it was excruciating.)You will want painkillers anyway if you try it with any of these. But thisis what *I* will try if I get a lump. There's a terrific story on the webof a guy with a cancer on his tongue who used the black salve to remove it.He saved his face and probably his life. Plus, it is not an either/or - youtry this and if it does nothing, you can still do whatever your doctorrecommends. Don't try it without reading the book, however. It would evenbetter if you knew someone who could supervise the process.Or you could try Hulda 's protocal. Or you could find someone with aRIFE machine. (Good Luck.) Or... There are more options out there, allwith their own success stories, including really silly ones like red grapediets, etc. (I say silly but the people who cured their cancers this wayaren't joking around.)My point would be, if it is a cancer this is a stronger indicator thatsomething ELSE is wrong. It would be wise not to get all bent out of shapeover the cancer - which it likely is NOT - until you know - or guess - whatthe underlying issue/s is/are. You might be able to get rid of a cancer butif you don't change your internal environment, you might grow others. Plus,it is more likely to be something else. You inhaled a marble when you werea toddler and built a cyst around it. You have a parasite. This is part ofthe twin you should have had!If you don't already, go ahead and learn EFT. You'll be glad you did,regardless. Dr. Mercola has a free manual on his website and you can seewhat there is free or cheap on Craigs' website. I used Mercola's for along time but I am very absorbed in Craig's purchased lessons.Fascinating. It will at least give you some distraction and a useful toolat the same time. Something to giggle over, too, with your spouse as it iskind of funny looking.Terijo Relax. Yahoo! Mail virus scanning helps detect nasty viruses!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 You need to treat your thyroid. Take your temp three hours after you rise, then another three hours, then another three hours. Your average should be 98.6 (oral). If it is not then your thyroid is not optimized.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I don't know about the testosterone part, but if you're truly hypo, then yes, you're going to feel worse if you don't get it treated.On 3/14/06, Pamr40 wrote: I have been taking my temp in the mornings for several days and it's never over 97....this is so aggravating.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Some doctors are trainable. Some you need to leave and move on. I encourage you to read up and print out articles to give to your doctor. Give him/her a list of your symptoms. Why is your doctor saying you don't need thyroid meds? Are you going to a GP or an Endo? Kate At 10:51 AM 3/14/2006, you wrote: >And convincing my dr of that.....that's the real challenge.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Jan is right, IMHO. If you DO have low thyroid, low testosterone, or low adrenal levels, you may feel bad initially or even for awhile during the period where you start to take thyroid meds in small amounts to adjust your levels. This is just part of the process for all of us. The only way to really know for sure is to see a doctor who is knowlegeable in these areas that can run the appropriate blood tests and discuss your symptoms. The low-carber that you talked to may be knowlegeable about thyroid issues, or may not. The only way to discern medical information is to a) read lots of trusted books on the subject (which you can get from the library), while seeing a trustworthy doctor. Of course, all of this is my opinion, as I am not a doctor or a medical professional of any kind. Best wishes-- Courtenay --- Jan wrote: > Go see Dr. Launius in ville.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Internal medicine...and he's very thorough! He's run more tests on me than I ever thought possible, and we aren't through. I really like the fact that he genuinely seems concerned and doesn't rush his patients at all. He agrees that my symptoms indicate thyroid, but he thinks my low testosterone and progesterone should be treated first and see if that resolves the problems.Kate Guynn wrote: Some doctors are trainable.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm glad he is taking time with you, however it all needs to be treated. The thyroid is the master gland of your body. I'd tell him you want to treat the thyroid first as that is where the symptoms are. Then after a few months revise the other. You might find that the other problems are a little more balanced then.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Testosterone and progesterone can be started at the same time as thyroid meds. But this doc obviously has no intention of treating your thyroid. It is a low priority item on his list.Pamr40 wrote: Internal medicine...and he's very thorough!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Kate, I don't think this guy intends to treat her thyroid gland at all.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 And like Jan said, the can be treated at the same time. If you really want to stick with him, you will need to stand you ground. I would bring a thyroid symptom check list with you. Also take a look at http://www.thyroid-info.com There are some articles worth printing out. Read, read, read and then stand your ground.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm in Dallas. I'll print this out and take it with me. I'm going Friday for a CT Scan for a nodule he found in my lung - so I can't leave him until this is resolved. And to be honest, when I was in last week for my lab results I was so stunned to find out about this nodule I left without forcing the thyroid issue. My bad! But I will tell him I don't care what the labs show, I know what my body says and if he isn't willing to help me resolve it, I'll find a dr who will.
