Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 I mentioned this earlier, and I apologize if this is mostly an adrenal issue, but it's getting worse and starting to really worry me. I've never had swollen ankles in my entire life, but it started this morning and they've gotten bigger as the day has gone on. They're starting to look pretty hideous at this point and don't feel so great either. I've already taken my bedtime Florinef dose, but should I skip my morning dose if they're still like this when I wake up? Should I skip sea salt tomorrow as well if it's still an issue, or do you think it's more of an HC/Florinef issue? Now that I've possibly reached my optimal T3 dose (won't know until early next week when I can run a T3 lab), perhaps I don't need as much cortisol? Can it happen that suddenly? Sorry for all the questions...just not sure what my first step should be in an effort to resolve this.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 I believe it si the Florinef and most likely they wil be down by AM. That is the way fluid reteniton works. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 You were right! They're almost back to normal this morning. And I slept through the night just fine with only taking 1 tab yesterday. If the swelling continues, would it be alright for me to lower my morning dose to 1/4 tab and then take 1/2 tab at bedtime? Or is Florinef like HC in that you should take your higher dose in the morning?

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 You should take the higher dose in the AM, but if adjusted righ twith HC and florinef oyu should NOT have swellign. If lowering the florinef does nto affect a compleat fix,then lowering HC might be warrant4d. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 I used to suffer from swollen ankles so I got off the Florinef and started drinking fruit smoothies, and I've never had them since. If I don't get my fruit (Potassium) I get swollen and other symptoms. Not sure this is for everyone but it worked for me. > > I mentioned this earlier, and I apologize if this is mostly an adrenal issue, but it's getting worse and starting to really worry me.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2009 Report Share Posted November 20, 2009 Don't skip the whle dose just take less of ti. If you stop Florinef suddenly you WIL throw yur body into a tail spin, Cut 1/2 of the dose. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
