Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I think lowering Florinef would be the first move. How much are you on? With BP going higher and fluid retention this should be the first thing to lower. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I have been taking .1 a day, but I got it from the UK and it is expired. I have seriously been thinking it doesn't work properly because my muscle issues and peeing all night/feeling dehydrated have come back. Kim Re: Trying to figure out what is going on with me!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 I should add that I am faling the flashlight test miserably still. Kim Re: Trying to figure out what is going on with me!

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Then it may be that you really need some that works. When I tried it it actually lowered my BP a bit. Not much but some. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Well are you r temps stable? Then I would say yo DO need some good Florinef and I would try ordering a fresh supply. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote
Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 Yes, they are stable at 98.0. I am thinking since the flashlight test is still awful that I am needing it. Should my temps have gone up after a week on a higher dose of Armour or does it take longer than that? Kim Re: Trying to figure out what is going on with me! Well are you r temps stable?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 The T3 in Armoru should work within a day of the raise. But then the conversion from the T4 will catch up later. You might consider adding T to your dose of Armour as well as your T3 is not that high but T4 should not be much higher than where it is. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote
