Carol,

I had IBS for about 15 years and found some aloe vera juice in a Wal-Mart in

Mississippi one day and started drinking it. Within 2 days I never had IBS

again.

Hi . I don't know if you'd say I had low motivation, but SEVERE low energy

and reoccurring fatigue (with drop in temp) has been the story of my life. I was

up to 6 grains of Armour at one point, along with hormones, supplements etc. The

only thing it did for me was cause me to lose weight. I'm REALLY hoping that

this mercury thing will be the key for me that unlocks the door. I have other

symptoms of low thyroid as well such as fibromyalgia. (and a life long history

of consipation till IBS set in). Carol B

Hi! Carol-

You said " was up to 6 grains of Armour. " Did you lower your dose? stop

taking it?

Btw, severe fatigue fits me, also.

Hi . The fatigue hasn't been as bad the past couple of years but the

lack of energy remains. I still get hit with it occasionaly. My already below

normal temp used to drop to 96, I'd ache all over and have a funny taste in my

mouth and all I could do was SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP. For days and even weeks only

pushing myself to go to church or prepare meals for my husband. I could always

tell when it was dropping. Doctors NEVER adressed the issue. When I was single

and worked (34+ years ago) there were days I was to fatigued to get out of bed.

I'd call in sick and sleep ALL day and night. This was after being sick with

every thing under the sun growing up and living on penicillan shots and missing

alot of school. (a short summary of my 7 page health history).

As to thyroid, the 6 grains of Armour caused me to lose 40 lbs. The only benefit

I ever saw. I'm 5'1 " and was up to 160 lbs so it was good. I then went on a

gluten free diet and lost another 5 lbs which I was told was stomache swelling

going down. When I continued to lose I got scared and figured I had gone hyper.

So I went down every few weeks till I was on 1 grain every other day or so. I

eventually went off of it for two weeks and tested with healthcheckusa. The test

showed I still needed it so I went back on (generic armour by that time). I

eventually went off COLD TURKEY as I was discouraged at not getting well. Once

before I was on 45 mg of Armour and 20 mg of cortef. I went off both when DH

was out of work. Neither time did I experience anything negative from going off

it like that. I'd love to retest through healthcheck and see where I stand. It's

hard to no how much to take when I can't go by my symptoms. Carol B

P.S. my weight stablized but flucuated up and down a few lbs. I am now gaining

again and that worrys me. I'm up to 20 lbs and DO NOT want to gain it back. I

was perfect at 115 and my chiropractor agreed.
