Re: Help - Heart just started beating VERY slowly and IRREGULARLY

December 24, 2009

I feel much, much more sleepy and tired now then I did a few weeks back when I was on 20 mg HC daily. How come? Is it the body getting starved for T3?I have on idea how I will last this christmas eve... And it's only 3 pm now... Can I takeextra HC to see if I last longer from that?

December 24, 2009

I wish you all a merry christmas and hope your christmas eve turns into a good one.I will be writing to the group through the evening - Just guessing I will feel worse and worse!Oh well. Let's hope for a better new year!! :-) in Norway

Yes it is always safe to take a little HC stress dose.Holidays are KNOWN

for causinf a need for stress dosing. I have run the adrenlas group for

several years and though other groups shut down for holidays I never

have simply for this reason. MANY people wiht adrenal issues need extra

help over stressfull holidays.

Thanks Nick!I woke up today at 11 am and took my first 10 mg HC at 11:30. A little late, yes.My face feels fat, my tummy sticks out, (these things are noticeable not only visually, butI can also "feel" it, and it's bothering me!) my eyes are running with something, my headis heavy, I have a slightly sore throat, pain in my upper back behind my lungs, heart isskipping an occasional beat, BUT the worse thing is that it's difficult to breathenormally - Like something is blocking my lungs at the top of them. Does anyone knowwhat this can be? It was not like this a few weeks ago.I constantly brainstorm myself with either "too much HC" or "too little T3 in my cells" ...Also, does it matter if that last 5 mcg piece of T3 every night is less than 5mcg?I take one pill, split it in two halves (one piece is always 60% of

the total size of the pill)then I split that one in two halves - Leaving one at 60% or more, the other one the otherhalf. Now, the first half I got when splitting the pill itself in two halves, is left to be split inanother two halves. Leaving me thinking that last piece is maybe even 3 mcg of T3.I would get more than 10 mcg from the first two halves, maybe 11 or 12 mcgs.Is it ok to get let's say 13 mcg of T3 one day, the next day 15, the next day 17 mcg?Cause this just can not be done right!

I have looked at the iron IV you suggested, but I am always afraid of those ever so rareside-effects, so I doubt that I will try it. It's nice to know, though. Like, if I start to get amyxedema and have no other choice but to take the iron IV to raise my T3, I must do it.Does the IV work instantly? Has anyone in this group tried the IV?I am at 75 mg iron daily. I will try to raise it to 100 mg in a few days. Well, after seeingmy Ferritin raise from 24 to 66 in a month++, I have hopes for these Amino Ferrochel tablets.How do I go about doing the break before the blood sample; I just stop taking 75 mgiron daily for 5 days, then take the blood samle, then go directly back to 75 mgiron? Or do I need to slowly increase the iron again after I've stopped taking it for 5days?Air hunger. That might be it. It can

explain a few things. Let's say I got Adrenal FatigueAND also increased rT3 back in May 2007 after a severe stress-episode (I was put in ahorrible life and death situation with two other people!), maybe this is point where myT3 began to get blocked from my cells, thus giving me the lung symptoms aldreadyback then? It really started in May 2007 - This air hunger, if that's what I felt and feel today.You say the T3 will even out over a couple of days - Even if I juyst throw the 5 mcg bitsinto the pill box and take a random 5 mcg piece the next day? Do I have to be verycareful about the doses or can I just take approx 15 mcg daily?T.

There are several people who have had good results from it, I'm just

digging back through some old posts to see what I can find. I found

this link that had been posted

http://www.rxlist.com/script/main/rxlist_view_comments.asp?drug=venofer & question\

id=fdb20109_pem

From there " I was bothered by RLS, leg cramps, shortness of breath,

palpitations, sore/sensitive tongue, cracks in lips, etc.. I am so

glad to get a break from all that and am encouraged so far. "

There are also people there who have had adverse reactions but still

found it beneficial.

On this list there was this posting

>Yes, only one. I had 300mg venofer which took about 2 hours. Honestly, it

wasn't a big deal. I drove myself to the hospital. I sat in a recliner with my

feet up, ate lunch, and watched tv. The nurses did come in to check on me every

15min. or so. I had the IV about 5 weeks ago. I was told to wait 3 weeks

before re-testing ferritin. My levels went from 24 to 196. Yes, too high but

doc. isn't concerned, it will come down.

There are people who have had it who haven't felt better immediately,

they (probably correctly) surmised that they would need to optimise

thyroid levels to feel well, the rise in ferritin though allowed them

to take more T3.

The trouble is that 66 is not a real number. Are you taking vitamin C

with the iron, apparently that helps absorption.

Hopefully someone can jump in here. I suspect it's ok to stop suddenly

but you might want to go back up over a few days, it depends how your

body is responding

I would be sure to take all the fragments of one tablet before

starting another. Once you have broken one up keep it elsewhere rather

than putting it back with the new ones

>Does the IV work instantly? Has anyone in this group tried the IV?

There are several people who have had good results from it, I'm just

digging back through some old posts to see what I can find. I found

this link that had been posted

From there " I was bothered by RLS, leg cramps, shortness of breath,

palpitations, sore/sensitive tongue, cracks in lips, etc.. I am so

glad to get a break from all that and am encouraged so far. "

There are also people there who have had adverse reactions but still

found it beneficial.

doc. isn't concerned, it will come down.

There are people who have had it who haven't felt better immediately,

they (probably correctly) surmised that they would need to optimise

thyroid levels to feel well, the rise in ferritin though allowed them

to take more T3.

The trouble is that 66 is not a real number. Are you taking vitamin C

with the iron, apparently that helps absorption.

Hopefully someone can jump in here. I suspect it's ok to stop suddenly

but you might want to go back up over a few days, it depends how your

body is responding

I would be sure to take all the fragments of one tablet before

starting another. Once you have broken one up keep it elsewhere rather

than putting it back with the new ones

I had iron IVs.After I could not raise my ferritin with taking 250/300mg iron

per day for more then a half year I got the infusions.I was scared from all I

read and tghe doctor told me about posibble side effects but that used to be

from a old kind of med they used not from venofer.I had 5 infusions of 200mg

venofer one per week and my gerritin raised from 15 to 200.For 2 years before

that I was able to take max of 5mcg T3.3 weeks after the the beggining of the

IVs I raised the T3 to 30mcg and now one and a half months later I'm at

55mcg.So,yes the IVs are the one that pulled meout of the whole.
