Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Thanks so much. I am in Illinois. Boy, you go a long way! Please do send the information you spoke of. My doctor pretty open minded so I was surprised when he was so stubborn about this. I told him I read a lot that T3 needed to be checked too. He asked where I had read that. He actually seemed curious not sarcastic. I'm not defending him. I just don't want it to sound like I'm slamming him. He is my gyno so I don't know how familiar they are with this type of thing. One other thing that I started getting in Dec. was this feeling in my heart like my heart was beating harder every so often for a beat or two. He said this is PVC. Could this be related to hypothyroidism or adrenal fatigue? I've heard of hypERthyroid people getting palpatations but I'm not sure this is the same thing. Shelli Re: Hi Shelli!! Hi PattiSue, I'm not officially hypo either. I asked the Dr. today to check my thryoid. I have to go yet for the blood draw. When I asked him to check Ft3 and Ft4 he said they don't test for ft3 anymore. He said it was an outdated practice to do so. I should have been more persistent but I'm kind of wimp about stuff like that. Anyway...as for adrenal symptoms, I definitely have the low motivation. I sleep about 8 hours a night and am not refreshed when I get up. I wake up between 2 and 4 am a lot. I feel like I never have any energy. I have no sex drive. I get stressed very easily. I get more tired in the afternoon around 3-4 pm. PMS. Irritability. These are some of the symptoms that I can think of right now. There may be more. Symptoms that made me think I might by hypo are dry skin, breaking fingernails, tired all the time (but not debilitating. I manage to do the necessary stuff), no weight loss even following a low carb lifestyle. Again, that's all I can think of right now but I think there's more. I have noticed an ach around my ribcage. I hadn't heard of that symptom before you mentioned it. I just want to feel like doing things and not get so stressed out so easily. I'm a little frustrated, can ya tell? LOL If I find out I'm not hypo will these products still not harm me? Thanks, Shelli Hi Shelli, Can you tell me your symptoms hun? These were mine: Felt as if my thyroid meds weren't working....felt hypo again. No motivation, very tired, aggitated insomnia pain in my rib cage area itchy scalp, These were the main ones that I can totally remember an they were enough. I hated the pain in my ribs..it was terrible and the no motivation was horrible. I didn't want to do ANYTHING and I am a mother of four, homeschool my kids and live in a house that is 115 yrs old and needs a ton of work.....so can ya imagine how depressed I was too? The great ladies here immediately showed me the reasons I needed adrenal help. I never went for tests....just knew in my heart that it was what I needed. I took Enzymatic Therapy (formerly known as Raw Adrenal) Fatigued to Fantastic. Loved it!! Am now taking Isocort 6 pellets a day...and it isn't as good as the first one. But each person is different and you don't know till you try. If you feel you need the help in the adrenal area...(and it is TOTALLY normal with hypo to need that support) Do it!! You cannot go wrong it won't hurt you. Hugs...PattiSue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was an outdated practice to do so. We NEED to keep a file on the most ridiculous things docs have ever said. This one takes the cake!!! Shelli, you REALLY need to find a better doc. You will stay ill with this one. Janie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Does anyone know where I can find proof that ft3 should be tested from a " reputable " source? In other words, something a Dr. would consider reputable. I hate to have to find a new Dr. I don't want to go to someone else just to have them think the same way. This is frustrating!!!

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Have you tried taking a small dose of thyroid at bed time? I had persistent rib pain upon waking.. to the point where I just hated going to bed at night because I knew how awful I'd feel when I woke.... the first time I took a dose of thyroid at bed time... and the next dose as soon as I woke... no more rib pain... I know some can't do that.. it mess up their sleep cycle... but perhaps you could do a test on yourself over a weekend, so that if it should happen that you don't sleep well with a bed time dose it won't mess up your day so badly... ...... just a thought... it worked wonders for me.....
