Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Nick, you can only take 25? Are you on hc? I take 37.5 each dose. What happens when you take more?>I am inching up- at about 150mcg now- seems best if a multi doese every 2-3 hours- especially since the amount keeps getting bigger- I dont want my body to have to deal with more than say 50mcg at any one time.>>50mcg seems good for the 1st dose- as my cortisol is highest then.You can tolerate more than me then, I single dosed on 25mcg tablets.I still can't take more than 25 at a time.If the iodine works for you then go for itNick-- for more information on RT3 and Thyroid Resistance go to www.thyroid-rt3.com------------------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Bonnie? Same here! I think I also look young (despite my hair beeing very grey!), and " healthy " . I also eat very healthy food (except when I get too depressed to cook or care about anything). As soon as I have the time to do it (very bussy with work at the moment) I will try to figure out as much as I can about preganacy and T3 and T4. I am a biologist and a scientist by profesion so I'll try my best to understand. I will come back here with everything I learn. I am taking 3 grains of Armour and, although I still feel hypo, last cycle was my first in many years in which I didn't bleed during the luteal phase (I mean before the period), so I am a bit optimistic. I don't want to have an IVF either, I believe that my body doesn't get pregnant for a reason: I go through live with great difficulty myself (since I was 16) so it is likely that my body just can't cope with a pregnancy. Is is really nice to share all this with someone who is going through similar experiences!!! > > Hello : > > I am 42....so I hear you... the time is NOW to get things optimized. > I really do not want to add all sorts of OTHER hormones to the mix with IUI's or IVF or any of that if I can avoid it. > > Despite being 42 and having thyroid issues- I am very young looking, work out, eat low carb organic foods. > > I just dont have YEARS to figure this out anymore > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi : Speaking of GREY hair- me too- except I died it for a long time- then when the upkeep was too much- went BLEACH BLONDE- so upkeep is a snap- and when I have brain fog- I can blame it on being a blonde I have read studies that link low dhea to eary greying hair.... Low dhea would indicate - I would deduce- accelerated aging .... Glad to meet a SCIENTIST!!! YEA!!! I am a fitness professional- so I have certainly met and worked with my share of women with a multitude of hormone disorders. I felt that I had great luck helping everyone else BUT ME... If you have the NEWER armour- many people have been unhappy with it- maybe try ERFA? Maybe up the dosoe or think about adding T3 to it? I'm sure you have contemplated those things already.... > > > > Hello : > > > > I am 42....so I hear you... the time is NOW to get things optimized. > > I really do not want to add all sorts of OTHER hormones to the mix with IUI's or IVF or any of that if I can avoid it. > > > > Despite being 42 and having thyroid issues- I am very young looking, work out, eat low carb organic foods. > > > > I just dont have YEARS to figure this out anymore > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi! I had some grey hair since my early twenties but it was not really noticeable. I strated to get VERY grey at 30 in a very stressful period of my life when I was finishing my PhD. I lost a lot of hair as well and the little that was left was grey and dry like straw. A wonderful experience. I didn't know I had thyroid problems then. I read somewhere in the net a connection between early graying, dyslexia and a hereditary predisposition to thyroid problems. I have the three of them, Am I not the luky one? I have died my hair before but I don't really like it because it only looks good the first two weeks and you have to be in the hairdresser much too often. Anyhow, I am trying to have the " I-age-with-dignity " look. It works for me as long as I don't see myself in a photograph! Regarding Dhea, I remeber there was a contradiction between the results in the 24 urine test (normal or even high) and the saliva test (somewhat low). In any case when I strated supplementing cortisol (30 mg), my doctor put me also on 15 mg? DHEA. I am still on the old Armour, but my labs don't look good: Ft3 is above range and FT4 at the top of the range. I will have the rT3 results next week... > > > > > > Hello : > > > > > > I am 42....so I hear you... the time is NOW to get things optimized. > > > I really do not want to add all sorts of OTHER hormones to the mix with IUI's or IVF or any of that if I can avoid it. > > > > > > Despite being 42 and having thyroid issues- I am very young looking, work out, eat low carb organic foods. > > > > > > I just dont have YEARS to figure this out anymore > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 I was put on DHEA by every doctor I saw- I am taking 7-Keto now- but was surprised to read either HERE or in the Adrenals group that DHEA lowers your cortisol??? So that would be counter intuitive I would think - but doctors seems to be all over it- probably because it's cheap and easy to get - no script required. In all the years (ok -3) that I have taken it- my DHEA LEVELS always remained low anyway. I have taken my fair share- ok maybe more than my share of supps- and I have begun to realize nothing really is that great - unless you get your hormones in line I suppose... > > > > > > > > Hello : > > > > > > > > I am 42....so I hear you... the time is NOW to get things optimized. > > > > I really do not want to add all sorts of OTHER hormones to the mix with IUI's or IVF or any of that if I can avoid it. > > > > > > > > Despite being 42 and having thyroid issues- I am very young looking, work out, eat low carb organic foods. > > > > > > > > I just dont have YEARS to figure this out anymore > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
