Subject: struggling with hypo

Dear Topper,

Ive signed up with your web site to gain info on hypo I am new to this problem and have no idea what is what with my body. Ive had some of the symptoms since I was 14 and have just been diagnosed at 37. Steadily since my early teens I have suffered from weight gain and thin hair. Cracked heals my son tells me they feel like cement on his skin when we are playing around and my feet graze his skin. My husband must hate it also. Not very attractive in sandles. More to the point I am taking Armour and from what your other readers say and the Dr. I should be loosing weight, direct opposite. Im terribly gassy sometimes throughout the middle of the day I just burn out. Lately I have suffered from upset stomache usually following a meal. Is there any foods that can lay me out or energize me so I can function for a whole day. Please help

Thank you for whatever advice you can despense

Hi , welcome to our family...

Not sure what happened, but your post ended up going to Sue, off list, she's forwarded it back to group... You can contact me directly ( topper2@... ) if you're not sure how to reply to the group... are you reading posts online or with an email reader (like Outlook)?

Anyway back to your post...

Some questions for you so that we can get a better picture as to what may be going on with you...

What was your original diagnosis, did they tell you what was causing you to be hypo?

How much Armour are you on?

How are you taking your Armour? (Empty tummy or with food, time of day, swallowing it or taking sublingually)

What other supplements or meds are you taking? Are you taking anything at the same time you take your Armour?

How long since your last labs?

Did you get a copy of your labs, can you post the results, with lab's ranges, so that we can see what is being testing and how things look?

Not sure until we know more... but quite a few of us seem to have trouble with digestion, when we are hypo we generally have a lowered body temp, goes along with a slow metabolism, that makes it harder to digest food, so we're gassy, and with the slow metabolic rate we can pack on the pounds - or have trouble losing....

So, first.. if we can zero in a bit more on where we are, then we can work on things that you can do, and that you can suggest to your doc, to shift things around so that your body can do it's job better...
