Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 Thanks to all for your feedback, Sheryn also has a glioma, it is in the spinal column, but very close to the brainstem, so who knows.. Other news...Em's op rescheduled for Wednesday 27th, but we are playing it cool this time, so no doubt now we are not building up for it, it just might happen! Em had the ultrasound and CT of pelvic region. Ultrasound showed lesion on what they thought was liver, CT came back normal..??? Em wound up in emergency this morning on morphine for the excruciating pain. They think it may be something to do with her ovaries, either an ovarian cyst that has burst or twisted ovary..in any case more tests required, so need now to see a gyneacologist (spelling??). It just goes on and on doesn't it.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Dear Terrie, It's always great to hear an encouraging update like yours! 87 pounds!! Wow. That's what my first daughter Chloe weighs, give or take a pound. You've lost an entire little person! I am very proud of you. I'm glad you had your WLS before your daughter so you can help her through it! My best friend has her WLS two months before me so it helped to have her with me, post-op.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hi Terrie..... I sure know what you mean about getting used to certain things. I was 318 lbs 11 months ago and now i am 195 lbs, now i can tuck in my shirts in my jeans and i actually look good tucked in. I know i would look better with some of this loose skin taken off but hubby lost job now and we are living off of exactually nothing for the time being. Praying for the phone call that comes in after filling in all these job applications. So now no insurance. Your daughter is in my prayers when she has her surgery.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Good to hear from you Terrie, my surgery buddy. You are still ahead of me in pounds lost, but I am enjoying the feeling of being able to cross my legs again, too. I did it for so long on Saturday, that my calve muscle actually hurt because it wasn't used to it. LOL! I reached the 70 pound mark today. I want to reach 75 by our 6 month anniversary, and 100 by 9 months. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 244/150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@...

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 > She also said that none of the women have had any > problems after their hyst and that her sexlife is better because she > doesn't have to worry about pain or bleeding. I can see how that would be true. Sex isn't much fun when you are in pain or bleeding all the time. BUT, if those problems can be solved without losing your uterus, like having a myomectomy, then there isn't much point in removing an otherwise healthy uterus. And since your small fibroid is inside your uterus you are quite possibly a candidate for hysteroscopic resection, an outpatient procedure with no incision and practically zero recovery time.

However, with the palpitations...I think you upped too fast. What would probably work for you is to continue the 60 in the morning if that wasn't causing any problems...and then add 1/4 grain in the afternoon around 1 or 2 and see how that works for you.

Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Hi Sharon! Glad you have started on natural thyroid. As far as the palps you are experiencing---a strong clue is that you may have upped way too quick. When you switch from T4 to Armour, your body has to make an adjustment to getting direct T3 again. I started on 3/4 grain, and with each increase, which were MUCH smaller than what you have done, I would also have palps. They would decrease after a week, but again, I was on much less...and upping only a little at a time. It may be wise to go back down to that one grain--and hold it for another 2 weeks. Then..try going up 1/4 to 1/2 grain...and hold for a few weeks.......etc. Also, I am not reading that you are dividing your dose. I take 2/3rd of my Armour in the morning, and another 1/3 in the early afternoon, for example. The problem with sleeping could be an adrenal issue. Have you had your adrenals checked? Also, do you know where your Ferritin is? The energy you are feeling is most likely the result of the direct T3 in Armour--not the effect of the Synthroid you used to take.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 When I started Armour, I started it splitting it 4 times a day all before 5. Also, if you were taking Synthroid, it takes a while to get out of your system. Let us know what the results were of the tests. 90 should not be too high. The t3 may take some getting used to > >Reply-To: NaturalThyroidHormones >To: NaturalThyroidHormones >Subject: update >Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 03:18:40 -0000 > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you increased too soon. Also are you taking anything for your adrenals? I find if i increase too much i can cope for a couple of days then i have to half the increase and take more adrenals support for 4 or 5 days-then when i go to the full increase, my body is fine -- Best regards, Alison http://www.alisonashwell.com mailto:alison.ashwell@... new work uploaded http://www.voodoochilli.net/artists/alisonashwell/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
