Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi , WhenI got my Armour up to a good amount, my forever cold feet warmed up. It is wnderful. Are you supporting your adreanls? How are your temps? Cold Feet/Nose/Hands and Low BP Even with socks my feet are ice cold, as is my hands and nose. And my blood pressure is still as low as it always has been, about 90/50. I am on a natural T3 supplement and Isocort(and lots of other supplements). Shouldn't this be getting better?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I am taking 6 Isocort a day (4 in the am and 2 in the afternoon). I take one 15mg pill of T3 each morning(I dunno what it is as my Naturopath puts it into a blank bottle from her supply). I also take one Iodoral, one B-complex 50mg pill by Solor Ray, Floradex, Acerola powder(vitamin C), cod liver oil(nordic naturals), magnesium(natural calm), and a natural postnatal(nursing). Oh I also take digestive enzymes and probiotics. I stay away from wheat and dairy(except butter), and when I do eat it my nose runs and I get congested. I have stage 4 adrenal fatigue(test done last July), high levels of epstein barr, and anemia(stored iron, yet I think the only reason the free iron is up is because of the floradex) which I have been fighting since I was 2(I'm 29). Oh and I'm on a homeopathic remedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Have you had free T4 and Free T3 labs, ferritin? That is a wee dose of T3. Maybe you would do better on Armour? Can you take Isocort or HC tro support your adrenal fatigue? If you have already addressed this, I'm sorry. It is hard to keep everyone straight.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I'm on Isocort(6 a day), and my labs last month showed that my Ferritin was 37(normal range of 10-154). My TSH 3rd Generation was 2.18 (range .40-4.50), and my Free T3 was 246 (range 230-420). Not sure if this matters but looking at my other labs done at this time that are in the low of the normal range are my absolute monocytes(was 211 range is 200-950), absolute eosinophils(was 76 range is 15-500), and absolute basophils(was 22, range is 0-200). > > Have you had free T4 and Free T3 labs, ferritin?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 You are low in Feritin. We feel best at 70-90. You need some iron. And - your free T3 is barely outta' the bottom. It should be near the top of the range. Looks like you need more thyroid medicine. Val will no doubt weigh in here with her expertise. ----- Original Message ----- From: Sent: Saturday, December 15, 2007 1:54 AM I'm on Isocort(6 a day), and my labs last month showed that my Ferritin was 37(normal range of 10-154).

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 For stage four you will most lieky need HC rather than Isocort. I think it si simply too weak. You are also on a MINUTE amount of thyroid. I am assuming that was a 15mcg? I take 150mcg daily on all T3. Just for comparison. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 It sure sounds like hypothyroidism, and T3, more than anything helped mine. I'm not on any now, as I'm working on getting cortisol levels regulated. Whatform of natural T3 are you on? I have only used synthetic, timed-release T3. Would like to hear how it has worked for you.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 My last cortisol/adrenal test was in July, the only one I have had, and I wasn't on anything before I took it. Here's the other info: I'm on Isocort(6 a day)and 1 pill of T3(15 mcg) a day, and my labs last month showed that my Ferritin was 37(normal range of 10-154). My TSH 3rd Generation was 2.18 (range .40-4.50), and my Free T3 was 246 (range 230-420).

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 Though I should add my labs from last July. It was a 2 tube test, and I took it at off times (10am and 11:30pm), and was by ZRT. Estradiol 1.7 Range 1.3-3.3 Progesterone 63 (low) Range 75-270 Ratio: Pg/E2 37 (low) Range Optimal: 100-500 When E2 1.3-3.3 pg/ml Testosterone 43 Range 16-55(age dependend) DHEAS 3.7 Range 2-23 (age dependent) Cortisol Morning 3.4 (low) Range 3.7-9.5 Cortisol Night 0.1 (low) Range 0.4-1.0 Also should add that I have been on the Isocort since August(same dosage), and that I just started the T3 in October. > > > > >>Even with socks my feet are ice cold, as is my hands and nose.
