Update

[Guest guest]

Haven't been on in a while and thought I would give an update.

Just saw a new doctor this morning (Dr. Bessie Owens in Mesquite Tx)

and so far so good. She is very much an advocate of the patient

taking charge of their own health. She has hypoT herself and has

been down the thyroid He@@ road and from experience knows that the

synthetic stuff just don't work for most people. She was very

pleased with the amount of knowledge that I already had and was very

open to working WITH me to allow me to get to my optimal health. She

had 4 vials of blood drawn and will be doing all sorts of tests (when

I get results-I will post). Due to my insurance as far as the

adrenals she will be doing a blood test and the dhea-s test. I am

going to pay for out of pocket the 4xday sylvia test and send her a

copy when they come in so she can compare. She prefers the sylvia

test - but the cost is up to me. I am very impressed with her - will

see how things go from here.

She was very happy with all the current supplements that I am taking

Glyburide/Metromin2.5/500 1 or 2 tab a day

Armour Thyroid currently on 3.5 grains a day

Multivitamin 1 tab a day

Glucosamine/Chondroitin 1 or 2 tab a day

Calcium 1200 mg a day

Magnesium 250mg 1 tab a day

Potassium 99mg 1 tab a day

Vitamin C 1000mg 1 tab a day

Super B Complex 1 tab a day

Selenium 200mcg 1 tab a day

Iodine 12.5 mg 3 tab a day

and has told me to up the Vit C to 1500mg 2xday

up the Iodine to 4 tab a day (she really likes to use iodine-feels

that everyone in America should be taking it)

and to add the following:

Digestive enzymes with HCL - 1 w/each meal

B2 - 250 mg a day for 6wks

B3 - 250 mg a day for 6wks

Celtic Sea salt - 1/2 tsp a day (i use to cook with but will start

using in water or something)

Milk Thistle - 500 mg a day

So I am very happy with her, it looks like that I may have found a

doctor to work with me and that I can stay with to get better.

Will post blood work results later.
