> I was on all those supplements except DMAE (what's that?) plus

scads of others. Had to stop taking them all due to severe acid

indigestion & hiatal hernia I developed. So am taking only what I

can digest now & that's all. So far only E, B-complex w/C & that's

about it & not all at the same time.

> Changed my diet too to mostly alkaline...had to in order to get

the aciidity under control. So we'll see how it goes & what I can

add again later. So far so good tho...am doing much better today

than yesterday when I was miserable with the stomach problems. Could

have an ulcer too. Don't know yet. Got to ask my doc & get tests

when I see her again in a couple of weeks. Good luck & continued

feeling better to you too.

Caroline;

I found out about DMAE from Dr. Perricone's books (not to do w/

thyroid, they are about anti-aging and reducing things that cause

inflamation in the body). From what I understand about it, DMAE are

specific nutrients that are found in fish oil that promote good

health and anti aging benefits. I take supplements that combine DMAE

with various E's , C's , and lipoeic acid. Essentially, it's good

for the skin and hair; but also has other health benefits.

I will pray for you. I hope that things turn around for you. I

know how maddening and depressing all of this can be. In fact, the

biggest reason I waited until increasing my own dose was because I

was trying to figure out how to get the nerve to tell my doctor what

I did . I decided not to say anything unless my bloodwork shows up

out of whack. Then I'll just say, " Oh, my blonde must be

showing;...I misread the dosage " or something. Although I did order

armour online (from rxforless, so who knows if it will ever get

here?) It's a lot more expensive to do it w/o a prescription. It

only cost me 11 dollars for a 90 day prescription when my doc

prescribed it. Sigh.

Hi Sim,

I saw DMAE mentioned in one of my books since reading your wrote about it here.

I didin't know it was in fish oils but I can't take those because of mercury

toxcicity problems. There's mercury in the fish oils I discovered. I have some I

bought too but can't take them now. So that's out for me.

Tee hee...I went thru the same thing with not wanting to tell my doctor I had

increased my dose way beyond the measly 15mg she prescribed for me. So when she

called to tell me the results of my T4 & TSH blood tests, of course she noticed

the TSH must be hyperT & said I'm on too much Armour, thinking all I was taking

was the puny 15mg she prescribed.

Then I had to tell her the TSH showed that because of the greater amount of

Armour I'm taking. She said I wasn't supposed to increase it without telling

her. So I just jabbered on & said I didn't want to be dosing according to TSH

tests but for symptoms. And that I wanted more tests for other things I learned

I needed on this egroup which I then named & she agreed to order them for me.

So that's where we're at now. I'm to get the blood draw on the 29th, Monday,

because I have to stop eating all predatory fish for several days before the

blood draw cuz one of the tests is for mercury toxicity which is in fish.

I also ordered Armour from myrxforless. That's what I was updosing on whie also

taking the generic Armour she prescribed. Yes it's more expensive to order it

ourselves but worth it I think. Now if my doctor wants to go along with the

doses I'm upgrading to as I go along here, then fine, I'd love that as my

insurance pays for most of it. Otherwise I'll just have to keep ordering it

separately.

Thanx fot he prayer, I can use them. I will light a prayer candle for your

success too.
