weighing it all up... Val and everyone

March 22, 2007

I am not at all sure what is causing my problems.

Extremely hypo at 4 grains and now after a reducing this a.m. from 35 mg I

am on 32 1/2 h/c.

I may be taking too much h/c which is bumping up my BP which is higher than

its usual borderline status.

Question: If this is the case how would too much h/c be causing hyper/hypo

symptoms simultaneously?

And how long would it take to see a difference by reducing the h/c? How

frequently should I reduce?

I may be taking too much Armour as I made several increases without waiting

the 6 weeks before increasing again. The last of these increases, quarter

grain, I dropped 10 days ago now and have been extremely hypo ever since. Still

the rapid heartbeat though. So I am decreasing again and don't know if this is

the right thing to do as I did the melatonin test by taking 1 mg yesterday

and I believe what is supposed to happen is that the palps go by doing this is

one is over-medicated by lowering thyroid levels. Well I am pulsing at 91

right now even having done that so is this test reliable I wonder. Many people

who taking thyroid medication also take melatonin for sleep so would they not

be having difficulties as a consequence I ask myself?

It would SO help if I could think straight so maybe you guys could help me

out by lending me your brains?

Thanks.
