Guest guest Posted August 15, 2002 Report Share Posted August 15, 2002 Oh, heather... I hope after your long wait, a sniffly nose and fever doesn't put you off. But These folks do know what they're doing. And if it comes to it, I'd rather you'd be put off than have direr alternatives. There are reasons, after all, for waiting if you're not in the best shape for surgery. But we're gonna think those germs away! Right?

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2002 Report Share Posted August 16, 2002 , I hope you're feeling better... A fever indicates infection. A big no-no for us. I had outpatient surgery 7 yrs ago and I was asked that morning if I had a runny nose! I said no which I didn't have a runny nose anyway. If i did have the runny nose, surgery would have been delayed... Hope it goes well for you....

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hi , I am with Topper. I feel that you need to do the 50 dosage for 4 to 6 weeks before you raise up to the 75 dosage. Raising too quickly will give you the heat episodes and the racing heart. This is not to say that you won't be taking a 75 or higher dosage eventually...Most of us just have to go up very slowly for our bodies to adjust to attually having Thyroid hormones to live with. At the end of the 4 weeks working with a total of 50 a day, might I suggest that your next step up would be to take 35 in the morning and then 25 in the afternoon. Do this for another 4 weeks then switch up to the 35/35 dosing. Take it slow...your body has some healing to do and it won't happen overnight.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 , You actually gave me an idea. Instead of taking one pill from one bottle one day and one from the other the other day. I could cut the old pill in half and the new pill in half for a week and take half of each. Therefore, the varience will only be up to 10mcgs. The other method would be a problem for me because on the day that I took the new pill it caused me problems. Maybe I can ask the doc for 200 mcgs and then cut them in half each day. That would work for 2 months at a time. Will keep you posted. > All the synthetics are known for their variation from batch to batch. > They have a +/- of 10 %.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hi , My symptoms last night were about 1/2 as bad as the night before. Instead of taking 1/2 a dose like I did yesterday morning, this morning I took 3/4 of a dose. I will see how I do tonite. Thanks for the help. > There's a thought...

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hopefully your body will settle down, too.. Remember, it was two years of futzing with dosage and timing before my body could take the dose without having fits..... That's what can happen when the docs wait to long to treat you! arrrgghhhhh You'll make it....

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Yep, that's the one. I had forgotten that it was a download and did go looking for it again. I have it downloaded to my computer already.
