Re: Re: raising meds when it is cold-Iron ?

[Guest guest]

Jamy and those on iron:

What was your ferritin level. My doctor wants my ferritin to about 70. The last

two test are : Aug 56 and Oct 46. Go figure, I was supplementing iron and it

dropped. I am in menopause so it is not do to monthly cycles. I think some irons

are better absorbed than others. I don't do liver, but should. I think Black

strap molasses is good also.

Re: Re: raising meds when it is cold

Jamy, when do you take the iron in relation to your meds? I've been

taking mine about an hour before bed time... that way it has the run of

my system during the night.... it's doing well for me....

... I'll explain what I base that on... All my life I've had to watch to

make sure that I get enough Iron.. for me, when I'm in need of it I crave

Brussels sprouts and beef liver.... This is the second time that I've

gotten beef liver and cooked it up and comfortably divided it up into

several mini-meals. In the past... I'd sit down and eat all the liver in

one batch.... just wolfed the stuff down.... When I got some in November,

I was still in wolf mode.... but when I got it in December I stretched it

into 13 meals (2 pounds of it) and the batch that I got this week was

just a bit less than a pound and I got 4 meals out of it... No NEED to

wolf it all in one fell swoop....

So my body is doing much better. I'm doing (rats, don't have the numbers

in front of me.... ) 100% of the RDA in my multi-vitamins, those are

divided up into 8 pieces, one taken with each mini-meal during the day

and one an hour before bed time when I take a half tab of a tablet that

is 365% of RDA....

My thyroid meds are still doing okay... My thyroid is non functional

(killed by RAI) and when I went up the 3 grain last month I went hyper..

so the iron is not binding the thyroid doing it this way....

... my hyper state is over BTW... I'm feeling great again. Normal

appetite... back to convincing myself to not skip any of my mini-meals so

that I don't lower my metabolic rate as I continue to lose weight!

My first tests were without the ferritin, but showed I had a VERY low folic acid

level and some kind of inborn error on that. My b-12 was slightly low. I was

getting folic acid and b-12 shots first. Then taking some iron about 100 mg a

day. My ferritin was 20. I am on 325 mg 3x a day now. I am seeing a guy that is

an endo research guy named Ted Friedman in LA. He has a website that talks about

the ferritin issue. Go to goodhormonehealth.com I don't do liver either and eat

a lot of rare meat. Didn't help. I am taking ferrous sulfate. You need your b-12

and folic acid tested.

Jamy,

I also go to Dr. Friedman. He has checked my folic acid and B-12. Guess they are

OK he did not say anything. So are you on straight Armour? Wondering why he cut

my Armour and gave Levoxyl. I am on 60grain Armour and 50mcg Levoxyl. Would this

be equivelent to 2 grains of straight Armour? My Free t3 was 3.8 (2.3-4.2)

August. October it was 4.3. This was after the first med change, since he has

made another one. I am due for a blood test now.

He said, my thyroid is dead also. RAI.

He is giving the Armour so you will feel OK I think with all the benefits you

get, but adding just some t4. I am hoping you are saying 60 mcg Armour not

grains. You would be exploding I think. I am bad at this, but I think that is 1

grain. 15 mcg x 4 is one grain. Your free t3 is a little high. What was your

free t4 and TSH? Did you take your med before the blood test, because you

shouldn't. You may want to ask him about the ferritin. I would do Floradix

liquid iron 2 x a day and ferrous sulfate 325 mg 1x a day.

Jamy,

Oops, typo.. it is 30mcg 2xdaily.

Free T4 1.4 Aug and 1.7 in Oct.

TSH=.84 Dr. Freidman says to ignore it...my pituitary tumor makes it inaccurate.

Are you doing .15mcg Armour 4 x daily?

I feel so hypo...wish I knew why??

I think the first test was evening, thyroid AM then, the second was probably

after my thyroid dose.

Thanks for the iron information. I will check out the website.

I never take my meds the day of testing. I am taking 15 mcg 7 x a day. I am

also on Florenif

Re: Re: raising meds when it is cold

Jamy, when do you take the iron in relation to your meds? I've been

taking mine about an hour before bed time... that way it has the run of

my system during the night.... it's doing well for me....

... I'll explain what I base that on... All my life I've had to watch to

make sure that I get enough Iron.. for me, when I'm in need of it I

crave

Brussels sprouts and beef liver.... This is the second time that I've

gotten beef liver and cooked it up and comfortably divided it up into

several mini-meals. In the past... I'd sit down and eat all the liver in

one batch.... just wolfed the stuff down.... When I got some in

November,

I was still in wolf mode.... but when I got it in December I stretched

it

into 13 meals (2 pounds of it) and the batch that I got this week was

just a bit less than a pound and I got 4 meals out of it... No NEED to

wolf it all in one fell swoop....

So my body is doing much better. I'm doing (rats, don't have the numbers

in front of me.... ) 100% of the RDA in my multi-vitamins, those are

divided up into 8 pieces, one taken with each mini-meal during the day

and one an hour before bed time when I take a half tab of a tablet that

is 365% of RDA....

My thyroid meds are still doing okay... My thyroid is non functional

(killed by RAI) and when I went up the 3 grain last month I went hyper..

so the iron is not binding the thyroid doing it this way....

... my hyper state is over BTW... I'm feeling great again. Normal

Just thought I'd clear up the mcg / mg confusion. Armour Thryoid is dosed by

grains or mgs. 60 mgs is one grain.

Jamy,

What have you noticed from the Florinef? Did you have low aldolsterone? Was your

bladder overactive and has the Florinef changed that or any symptoms that you

know of?

Thanks,

So what would the 50mcg of Levoxyl be if it were Armour? Would it be near 1

grain of Armour?

When It comes to synthetic thyroid I am not an expert (I've never been on them,

thankfully) but here is a link that shows a person how to convert their

synthroid over to Armour. It may give equivalents I am not

sure..http://www.drumlib.com/dp/000016.htm

Maybe you can make something of this and it will help you to understand the

dosing of levoxyl better.

Well back in June a DR I went to see found my aldosterone VERY low through a

urine test. he ignored it. When I went to Friedman, he made me go two days no

salt and did blood. It and the renin were VERY low. Yesterday was day 1 of a

full pill a day. I noticed no difference till yesterday except I have had a

funny smell to my urine for a few years and that was gone. Yesterday I went to

the bathroom so much that I think my electrolytes are off. My legs were cramping

in the middle of the night and I awake with a headache I can't get rid of. Aside

from the stuff I have mentioned, I feel no different. It is supposed to help my

low blood pressure. I have noticed nothing there, but then I don't take it. He

upped my Armour 15 mg when I was there and I just raised it 2 weeks later

another 15. I am waiting for 2 midnight saliva tests to come back. My am

cortisol after driving 2 hours and being angry at 9:30, was 9, pretty low. I was

dxed with hyoreneinism and hypoaldosterone. I have had many people say he does

that a lot, but I knew there was an issue with that before, so that is why I

went to him. As far as they Armour, he was going to add some t4 to me, but my t3

was so low, he raised the Armour. I also made it quite clear that I have heard

some good results on people mixing the t4 with the Armour when they have an

issue with high t3 not t4, but I would let him know what I wanted after the

tests. He right away said my t3 was too low, so like I said upped me. I have

Jamy, when do you take the iron in relation to your meds? I've been

taking mine about an hour before bed time... that way it has the run

of

my system during the night.... it's doing well for me....

... I'll explain what I base that on... All my life I've had to watch

to

make sure that I get enough Iron.. for me, when I'm in need of it I

crave

Brussels sprouts and beef liver.... This is the second time that I've

gotten beef liver and cooked it up and comfortably divided it up into

several mini-meals. In the past... I'd sit down and eat all the liver

in

one batch.... just wolfed the stuff down.... When I got some in

November,

I was still in wolf mode.... but when I got it in December I stretched

it

into 13 meals (2 pounds of it) and the batch that I got this week was

just a bit less than a pound and I got 4 meals out of it... No NEED to

wolf it all in one fell swoop....

So my body is doing much better. I'm doing (rats, don't have the

numbers

in front of me.... ) 100% of the RDA in my multi-vitamins, those are

divided up into 8 pieces, one taken with each mini-meal during the day

and one an hour before bed time when I take a half tab of a tablet

that

is 365% of RDA....

My thyroid meds are still doing okay... My thyroid is non functional

(killed by RAI) and when I went up the 3 grain last month I went

hyper..

so the iron is not binding the thyroid doing it this way....

... my hyper state is over BTW... I'm feeling great again. Normal

appetite... back to convincing myself to not skip any of my mini-meals

so

that I don't lower my metabolic rate as I continue to lose weight!

Big Grin!
