Oh My....I think I've heard you guys say this before but It didn't sink in

If you do your thyroid sublingually there are fewer problems with

binding... most of this is in the gut.. by doing the glandulars, thyroid

or adrenal, sublingually you get better absorption....

I do my iron and calcium about an hour before bed... and my last dose of

thyroid when I go to bed... and still get the same effect... See, before

I did a bedtime dose of thyroid I had 'mac truck hit me' syndrome when I

woke up and did not sleep soundly.... so if the calcium and iron were

negating the thyroid.. I'd have waking pain again... but am not...

But if you take your thyroid sublinquilly (sp) it's not a

problem......right?

You know, thinking about this binding thing. You know how I was

taking it twice a day.

Well, after the first few weeks of being on thyroid, I was feeling

better so I stopped my Elmiron for awhile as an experiment. Thought

maybe the thyroid would heal the bladder.

But then I started getting symptoms around the time of my period

again, so I thought " oops gotta go back on Elmiron because my bladder

isn't cured yet. "

So around that time, every morning when I woke up, I was taking my

Elmiron (because you have to take it at least a couple hours before

you eat and at least like 4 hours after you eat) and my thyroid.

Taking them together. And then again in the late afternoon in-

between meals.

Maybe that is what I was doing wrong lately - maybe I was going hypo

again in part because all or most of my daily dose was being bound up

and carried out of my body by the Elmiron...

So I will have to figure out where to put in food, because I need to

talk Elmiron twice a day and I think my thyroid twice a day (or more

often). Apparently it's probably not good for me to take them with

each other, either. I was just thinking " oh I will take all my meds

that can't be taken with food, together...get them out of the way so

that there will be a few hours here and there during the day when I

can eat... "

Hmmm...okay today I'm not taking them together. Taking them far

apart instead. See how that works.

If you can take the Thyroid sublingually that will negate many of the

binding/absorption problems with that.. remember I dose 5 times per day

with thyroid... 4 times per day with adrenal.. all of that

sublingually... I eat 5 to seven mini meals a day... and do calcium and

iron at night... to get extra of both of those in......

And I'm still getting hyper on what amounts to a relatively low dose of

thyroid - considering my weight, the fact that my thyroid was killed off

by RAI, and what other folks are taking....... So it can be done so that

it all works together....

I even did an orange yesterday.. fresh fruit is a special treat for me...

and to see that I didn't get the fructose kills they thyroid hormone

thing going on.. I timed the eating of the orange to be 1/2 hour before a

thyroid dose... first time in my life that I EVER got a got a rush off a

piece of fruit.. and then get the sleepy/downs afterwards....

That was weird.. eating fruit was always a pick me up... just like having

a caffeinated drink... but I would always have a slump a couple of hours

later.. just a 'fact of life'.... this confirms what I read about the

fructose effect on thyroid hormone ... the genetic TSH receptor defect I

was born with or the fact that I have an awesome imagination.

Gosh I wish that I could be a lab rat sometime.. to have blood draws

during these tests to see what is happening chemically.. we still can't

go totally by labs.... but it would be interesting to see if it does make

a measurable difference and is not JUST perception.

Taking they thyroid sublinguilly means that you can take the calcium within 6

hours of the thyroid dose.....I think that is what Topper was saying she is

doing??

Excellent Patti! Ok....I am off and running now!!! The only thing I didn't

do this weekend was to get some isorcort of some sort of cortisol! Think I'll

just order online will probably get it quicker than running around town

anyway!

Hugs to you Patti,

Hi Loriann, You don't have to wait 6 hours if you take it sublingually. (in

between cheek and gum/ or under tongue....and let it dissolve...it gets into the

blood stream faster...I was told 2 hours is safe after that.

I'm dosing the thyroid sublingually... I take my calcium and iron at

night... about 2 to 3 hours after my number 4 thyroid dose... and about

an hour before my last thyroid dose...

***If you take your thyroid meds sublingually, you may take your calcium, iron

after 2 hours...that is safe. If you take your thyroid meds by swallowing, 4

hours is recommended.
