Yes, it is still low.

I do nto think you become hyper at all. NERVOUS and ANXIOUS are ADRENAL

symptoms and IMPOSSIBLE to be caused by hyperthyroid with the doses you are

taking. If this happens again check your temp. I bet it is still low.

Funny but my beau and I have this conversation all the time. We talk about how

people are living too long these days. I too wonder if according to nature we

are supposed to be gone before we even reach menopause.

At the risk of being shouted at, maybe it's because we shouldn't be

alive.

Go back a hundred years ago or so, and the chance of a child

surviving to adulthood was not good. I wish I had figures to hand;

all I can remember off-hand is Mark Starr's assertion that in Graz

two hundred years ago (or was it 300?) 98 out of every 100 newborns

died; an appalling figure. In the West these days, childhood deaths

from infections like cholera, diphtheria, polio, whooping cough,

tetanus, dysentery, chest infections, TB & so on are more or less

zero. And this is clearly better, isn't it? Better for the parents

of course, who don't have the agony of losing children, but is it

better for the individuals who would not have survived were it not

for vaccinations, antibiotics, inhalers & whatnot?

I am one of those who should not have survived childhood (in fact I

nearly didn't, but that's another story). In the West at least,

natural selection is over. Severe adrenal fatigue is the family

disease - brains the size of planets, but not physically fit. I

shouldn't have survived, and I shouldn't have bred.

A dear friend of mine just died from Cystic Fibrosis at the age of

37, whilst waiting for a lung transplant. One the one hand he had a

good innings as he had a tough form of CF and even a few years ago

would not have been expected to live to thirty even; on the other I

doubt he would have survived childhood before antibiotics as he had

frequent pneumonia... I won't go into details. He was always adamant

that he would not have children, and I think he had the right of it.

Sorry if this ruffles any feathers; it's something I am struggling

with a lot at the moment. Not my own ill-health <shrug> but my

children's. I have two tinies; one is nearly five and takes after me

so much it is frightening. She is a fragile thing both physically

and emotionally and despite a careful, loving environment clearly has

inherited my adrenals, and I feel so guilty about that. OTOH, my

second is nearly two and is *very* robust, taking after her dad's

side of the family (her dad being as fit as a butcher's dog). I'll

never be able to treat them equally, as #1 needs a quiet life while

#2 does not.

Sorry, I seemed to need to get that off my chest...

I would NOT ever get a copper IUD put in me. Use a diaphragm. I used one for

years from age 25-40 and they work just fine once you get used to it.

Hi,

I never chime in here on other peoples post but I want to tell you I am self

treating with Vals help. I had my thyroid removed 2yrs ago. I have been sick

my whole life with thyroid and adrenal. I am now a functioning person. I had

no memory, bald spots, panic attacks, I was a reck. I now have hair, and can

remember things and starting to get a life and care about things. No doctor

helped me. Val did. So some of us are recovering. Happy Holidays everybody.

I didn't give a sh*t about Christmas for yrs. because I couldn't. Now I can.

Thanks again Val. hugs, Bernetta

>>Yeah Val, I agree. But neither are the people who are self-treating with

Armour and HC and taking as much as they need recovering, e.g. people on

this list and others.<<

Well that's a negative attitude! I have actually seen quite a few people

here get their lives back when they were bedbound, and it takes TIME abotu 2

years and maybe longer depending on how long they have been ill. Heck it can

take a couple years to get thyroid correct and start healing form that and

that is once the cortiosl is adjusted well.

Bernetta, posts like yours are what I live for! I have had friends ask

me WHY I dovote so much time on the internet.. what could be SO

engrossing that I sit here day after day posting. People feeling better

IN SPITE OF poor medical care is why. To try to save people's lives when

I realized bad doctors were actually killing people. Since I became

aware of how MUCH poor medical care there really is and how many people

actually die from it, I am on a crusade.

Hi,

I also have CFS and Fibro. They told me I had a thyroid tumor when I was 21.

I had my thyroid removed after a thyroid storm and went into cardiac arrest

2yrs. ago at age 53. So I have lived all my life with CFS, Fibo, Hashi's,

Adrenal. I had huge bald spots tons of times and the doctor told me you have

a fungus on you head like maybe you picked it up at the movies. No it was my

thryoid. I was in bed for the past 3yrs. pretty much. I also have Vulvodynia

and Pudendal Neuralgia which can be symptom of under treated thyroid which

is the case with me. All my symptoms with all these things keep improving

from my Armour and treating my adrenals and also my hormones and ferriten. I

eat a very strick diet, no gluten, and no sugar. I also had major candida.

My body still hurts but as long as my mind is better it helps everything. I

have a long way to go. I am on disability. I'm just so happy I am really

making progress. I'm happy I can drive and remember how to get places and

why I am there. LOL Bernetta

I have similar thoughts to this that I am in need of sharing now.I have a

It is strange for those of us who would have been dead except for modern

I do use a diaphragm, have done for 15-odd years. And that was how I

got DD#2, as a result of which DH won't come near me. Looks like a

Oh I quite agree - I needed two Caesareans, and the second one in

particular I was only too grateful for, as I knew she wasn't coming

out naturally (and I was right - she was 10lb 2oz and posterior; no

wonder!).

But that wasn't quite my point - I was talking about the gene pool

not being winnowed out like it was in ages past. Maybe us lot on

this forum are the ones who would not have survived childhood in ages

past.

How many of us here - serious question - were fighting fit & full of

beans until we were brung low by hypoT/AF issues? Not me, for sure.

Bring on bird flu, say I. Misery & grieving aside, the world will be

a better place for those left afterwards. In the sense of fitness of

the surviving gene pool, anyway.

Jeez I'm in an odd mood tonight.

Your statement is correct. Fix adrenals before adding thyroid.

Maybe when I said " using up all his T3 " you thought I meant he was

taking T3 pills. I meant his own natural T3 in his body. He has not

started thyroid yet. We're still waiting for his temps to stabilize,

hopefully this week.

Hi Barb,

Iam new, but trying real hard to get all this (=

Once I get the results back from the salvia ,as well as the blood, just to see

if anything is off in other areas such as the ferritin and B-12 I will post them

and hopefully one of you can give me some feedback. The quandry I am in,which

maybe some others are ,or where prior to this ,is that I am o n three

medications for depression and anxiety. I am doing alot better than I have in

prior years. I did have a big drop in my mood after I was on Pred. for 5 days at

50mgs and the Hc for a couple to wean down. This was due to the er thinking this

was how to treat my symptoms.

With that being said my temps can go up and down a bit from each of these

medications.I will take my temps. but I just might have to wing it a bit. I

think evenuatlly I wil be able to wean slowlly down with my pdoc on my meds. but

with these I have been on for more than a year and it is imperative I am careful

with any doseage change.

Thanks,

a

So is your husband taking HC and trying to get over the depression effects and

then wil try the Armour or for his situation he will take a little of both to

start so he does not have the depression hit him like that?
