Mo - some more suggestions for your son

[Guest guest]

Mo, if you are going to have him try supplements to up his thyroid, I

recommend going to www.wilsonssyndrome.com and ordering their adrenal and

thyroid supplements since they combine the things you need in one.

You can also download both the patient and doctor's manual (FREE) and you

will learn TONS of information on T3 and conversion issues, etc. It is

possible your son could reverse his issues with supplements only depending

on where he is at. I read a lot of testimonials from people using the

supplements who did. I used them back in 2003 and stopped only because I

could no longer afford it. So I went out and bought the key supplements in a

cheaper form. You can check the products to see what ingredients are in each

capsule and how much. They have helped me, so I can attest to that. However,

my case is too severe so I needed (and need) more. I then added adrenal

glandulars (a different Dr. www. adrenalfatigue.com) but a month ago

needed even more support so now am on Isocort. I never did get optimized but

that was because I didn't realize just how severe my adrenal state was. So,

I keep working on it.

The easy thing he can do is get the thermometer (not digital, it has to be

mercury or mercury substitute for accurate reading...they sell that on the

site too) and track his morning temps per their instruction. That is easy

for him to do because he can do it regardless of when he wakes he can take

it and it is only once a day. It won't give him info on his adrenals, but

will give him info on his thyroid state and doesn't have to do the three

day, 3 hour routine for adrenals just yet if that is too difficult for him

as a college student. That will at least tell him if his body temp is low in

the morning for thyroid. Those temps are taking in the armpit in a resting

position first thing in the morning.

It would be a cheaper route if you feel you cannot afford to have him go to

Dr. P just yet and he might be able to tell some things about his body and

see improvement on the supplements.

I took had thyroid and adrenal symptoms my entire life and when it really

got bad was at 19 in college and docs could not figure out what was wrong so

I suffered for decades. Your son is young, so in that regard he is lucky

because he might be able to reverse a lot catching it early before they

thyroid or adrenal have permanent damage like happens to those of us who get

diagnosed so late.

HI

OK. He does take a multi vit/mineral, one gram Vit C a day but maybe he

should have more. What about selenium. Is it inevitable for a child to

become

hypoT if both parents are do you know?

It would be impossible to get mine to do a

saliva test, since he's not living at home where I could ensure all

samples were taken.

Yes Iunderstand. My son is having to borrow the equivalent of $140 to pay

for his saliva test so this is quite a motivating factor as you will

appreciate

Anyone else there with ino on this please?

Thanks.
