Dear Eve,I was recently pregnant (7 mos ago) and was on varying levels of

levoxyl during my pregnancy. Since mid pregnany I was up to .137 mg and that

was recently increased to .15 mg. I can't say I notice any difference, ok,

maybe I'm a bit less tired, but that's about it. I am still restless and can't

sleep at night once I've been abruptly woken. I would be anxious to hear what

you decide to use, as I intend to get pregnant again in the near future. I think

acupunture is a wonderful way to work on this. Do you take herbs (TCM) while

pregnant as well. I did not take herbs during my pregnancy. I can tell you it

took me 2 or so years of trying to get pregnant to get there, and the thing I

think helped so much was cranio-sacral therapy in Nov 2001, it helped to get me

back to regular cycles. I was pregnant by late Feb. to see a sweet picture of

Oh I totally agree:) nor do I think that swimming 'makes you fat'. I think it

does

make you hungrier after the workout so its easier to binge on foods just so you

can feel full again but I've been extremly careful with what I eat especially on

those days. I have lost some bodyfat with swimming but I don't combine it with

any other cardio which is probably why I am not seeing the amount of bodyfat

loss I was expecting.

I do the HIIT with swimming which is probably what helps but the HIIT is often

dragged out across the hour because of our coach(ie, 1 lap slow, moderate,

fast, strong and repeat etc) which is probably why I have lost some body fat

I was talking to my sister who is a health nuts and she suggested what you did

which was to combine maybe 20 minutes of HIIT jogging/elliptical etc and

also do swimming.

Right now its more of a schedule thing for me so I'll see how I will work it all

out

Thanks for the info & support!

Actually I'm not sure. CLA being a fatty acid, I don't know how much of

it actually is being stripped in skim milk. Because they try and keep

as many nutrients as possible in organic milk(things like CLA), I don't

even know that they make a " skim " version, it would seem counter productive.

I'm considering easing off the LBWO. I already have monster quads &

have taken up running so will be working them regularly anyway. Still

want to keep up the UB work because I still can't do a pull up :^P.

But if I dump the lower body building I might be able to lower my

calories without compromising upper body growth. Right now I'm around

1700 a day. I don't think I could go down to 1200 though. Well I

could, but I would be biting my children's heads off & it would

probably slow down my metabolism.

Unless you are really lean already, dropping the LBWO is going to

short change your fat burning. The lower body muscles are the largest

in the body, so working them gets the inner furnace heated up and burns

fat and calories better than any other body parts. Your " monster quads "

probably haven't had all the fat burned off them and the muscle is

growing faster than the fat is burning. Unless you take steroids you

aren't going to get monster quads. Keep working the lower body. Look

elsewhere to make changes instead of that. There might be places to

correct the food where you will barey notice it and won't feel deprived.

I am actually pretty lean already. I don't look it because of the

saggy skin, but I'm in the mid-teens, and while my quads probably don't

qualify as monster they are mighty big.

I'm still trying to figure how much I should be eating. My lean weight

is around 145, but again because some of that is loose skin and empty

fat support system I don't know how much of that is metabolically

active.

When all is said and done I probably won't drop the LBWO. Even without

the physiological benefits, I just love to watch the macho dudes do a

double take when I throw 10 45 lb weights on the sled.

It sounds like you're doing pretty well. You might be the only person

who thinks you have large quads. Everyone else might think they are

svelte and muscular instead. We are usually our own worst critics

anyway. Keep up the good work and just keep on with what you're doing.

Eve, if you know your body-fat percentage you can calculate your

caloric needs. Use the calculator on the Hussman site, I have always

found it to be reasonable.

Alys.

[Guest guest]

Thanks. I'd gone there a long time ago to get my numbers, but since my

body has changed, so have my needs.

Hmm, looks like I'd been eating at right about the top of my range for

fat loss. I should take it down a few hundred calories some days for

better results.

Eve,

I'm sure you have,been teasted for Lyme Disease? Best of luck,

low dose naltrexone

Thanks Peg, I will talk to my Dr. about that. She seems stuck on the idea that the only test to do is a spinal tap and I'm just not willing to go there again. Have MRI's gotten better in ten years? Eve

Re: [low dose naltrexone] Dr. Skip

You make the point, those who are going to continue with this practice won't listen anyway. It would seem to me that this would therefore me a lose, lose situation.

Regarding the Mexico thing, yep I do know people who have gotten drugs from Mexico that did not meet US standards. So, now what. There will still be people that take the chance. The standards in Mexico are almost nonexistent. I would get drug from Canada before Mexico, as a matter of fact I would question ANYTHING not from the US or Canada or England. Then I would question the source, you could be getting placebo.

Every one's alternative is to call and find a doc in your area and get a script. I understand that some want to take control of their therapies, no problem but I would, the operative word is I, want an expert to oversee what I was doing. Secondly, I am a scientist and believe that with my 30 years plus training in the art and science of compounding I know more about this than most. I use a 4 place balance to weight all of the powders, I mix by geometric progression, I QC/QA every batch. I have gotten great results.

Finally, you can question my motives but that questioning absolutely doesn't impact the veracity of those motives. I know that some folks think that we have low prices because we want to corner the market, rather than the fact that we want to make it as cost efficient as possible for the most people. I have hoped that other compounders would lower their prices, but all we get is BS from them for cutting their profits. OhWell.

Now, really finally, I don't respond well to ad hominem directed to me or my family. I have learned that my response to them is always negative. I try very hard to be understanding and pure of heart, but sometimes the negative karma is so great that it just sucks the energy out of me. This is a bad thing. So, I believe in debate, I will register my biases appropriately, I will mention my opinions I do not respond to red herrings, or straw men or ad hominem or any other debate technique which will move the conversation away from science. probably why I don't participate on many boards.

Eve,

Where do you live. I still can't understand why she won't do an MRI or am I not understanding you. That seems to be standard procedure any more for diagnosis. I haven't even heard anyone using the spinal tap for diagnosis anymore since the MRI is much more accurate and certainly much less invasive! Does anyone have a comment?

Eve, There are about 50 MSers in my local NMSS group. All have had at least 2 MRIs and most have had Spinal Taps. Maybe it's the neurologists in my area (Philadelphia). My best friend was just diagnosed with MS last month. This was after 2 MRIs, a spinal tap and a complete physical. MRIs help to "Rule Out" MS too.
