Re: Re: (LaCretia) CURRENT HORMONAL EXPERIENCE is interesting...

[Guest guest]

Yep, it's like an out of body expierience to me sometimes when I take it.

You are right, you body can feel so tired but mentally you are wide awake.

When the body has energy though, then both do and it's better. That's not

very often though considering you are taking it when you start to feel bad

to keep you going. But if I have the choice to only have my body feel tired

while I'm driving and my brain can focus and stay awake, then I'll take it.

I HAD to take it for a period of time because I was falling asleep at the wheel

driving into work. To the point I went off the road a couple of times. My doc

told me if I didn't try the Provigil she would have to have my license pulled

because I was becoming a danger.

I don't know what was causing me to drop off like that, but every so often when

I have to be to work for 8 a.m. it will happen again. I get up at 5:15 to be to

work for 8 because I need that time just to get myself together. When my hours

were changed while I had a helper at work (she was fired), I went in at 10 a.m.

and had no problems. I also noticed that some days I would get extremely tired

but I could go back to bed for a half hour or so.

So basically.... I always have some Provigil on hand, but I do my very best not

to take it.

Hugs,

Tigger

Tigger, When do you take your thyroid and how much are you taking? I ask as I

used to have times of the day I could NOT stay awake. Mine was a T3 slump when I

flat ran out of it. Now I don;t think I have been converting at all for at least

7 years, so I think that was when it happened to me. Now that I take my meds

four times a day I no longer have those times. Used to be like clockwork I could

count on being asleep at 3 PM no matter what I was doing!

I take everything first thing in the morning. I sit on the couch, have my decaf,

take my meds, then have a protein shake..... I can't eat in the morning either.

I also get that 3 o'clock slump too.

I've just started taking 3 grains of Armour and 5mg of Delta. I worked up to 3

grains.

When this was happening, however, I was not on any thyroid med. Hoping this

problem will solve itself.

Val, I have to laugh when I see the bottom of your posts. I have a beautiful 9

year old black cat. I didn't notice how big she was until I found a 8 week old

black cat in the dumpster at work. The kitten weighs all of 3 pounds and the

older cat seems so big. Having the kitten around has been great for her because

they chase each other around the house. Too funny!

I think you will find if you take even a small amount of your meds later in the

day, like noon to 3 PM you will not be as tired during the slump times. That was

IT for me. If you do not convert well and many of us don't, you will run out of

T3 about 5 hours after your AM dose. The half life is 4 hours for T3 from what I

have read so it is declining after that. I actually feel when mine drops off and

it reminds me to take my next dosage! I also cannot eat in the mornings. It has

made me physically ill all my life to eat anything before 10 or later.

I agree with this ! I asked my Dr about splitting my meds up and he, of

coarse, said that I didn't need to do this, but if I don't, I get that afternoon

" slump " . HE told me that I can't split it up because he is giving me the 90

mg's in one whole pill. From what I have read, it is important to keep from

getting that " slump " to divide the meds up during the day.

LOL Well, I got one and I am using it! The only thing is, since the pills are

not scored, you will need to split the pill only when you are going to use it

the same day to make sure that you get the same half that day. Unscored pills

means that the medication in it is not distributed evenly, from what I have been

told.

That makes no sense. If they have a batch of liquid which is them poured into

molds to form pills it MUST be uniform to make all the pills uniform as they

certainly do not make a separate batch for each pill. Same thing if they

compress powder into capsules or pills it must be uniform to begin with to pass

uniformity codes.

it doesn't make sense to me. Armour 3 grain tabs are scored, so I don't think

they would make these from a separate batch.

Re: Re: (LaCretia) CURRENT HORMONAL

EXPERIENCE is interesting...

I don't know, but in the chewable heartworm pills for dogs, you are not to cut

them in half and share them. They say that they medication is placed in the

middle and it is not the exact same amount on both sides.

This is just what I have always been told. Unscored pills, means that you are

not to break them in half. Scored pills means that the medication is equally

distributed on both sides of the pill. That is why some are scored and some are

not.

Anyone else know of this?

Kathy

[Guest guest]

Same here. I would dose off either while driving in or driving home. It

got me scared. I'm like you, I only take it when I need to. It does get me

home though..thanks goodness for that! I haven't had to take it now in

about a week. That's pretty good!

Yeah, I had to take my Armour twice a day. Still didn't keep me awake

though. Once I got adrenal support, I can stay awake all day and up until

10pm which is good for me since I get up at 4:50am to go to work. I only

have crashes every now and then to deal with now. Much better than before!

,

I used to not be able to eat in the morning... had nausea real bad. Since I

have been put on adrenal support, I don't have nausea any more. In fact I

actually get hungry and want to eat!

In most cases you are right...it does help. For me it didn't because my

adrenals were exhausted. I knew this but couldn't get a doctor to run a

test for me. I changed doctors and it didn't show up immediatly on the

tests. The symptoms came first and eventually when they got really bad, it

showed up on my blood work. I kept telling the doctor that there was

something else going on. I could get all the thyroid medication I

wanted...even got hyper symptoms but still had the fatigue, salt cravings,

muscle weakness, and nausea. I couldn't eat and it wasn't normal for me. I

would get nausea so bad that the thought of food would give me the dry

heaves.

I have not had my adrenals tested but have done trial runs with adrenal support

(three different kinds three different times) and every time I got very ill from

it. I do take DHEA and have for about 7 years and I eat sea salt and do salt

baths. I believe this is all the adrenal support I need. When I was in first

grade if I wanted to stay home from school, I would give in to my Mom & eat

breakfast. Immediately I would throw it up & she would let me stay home from

school! I doubt at 7 years old I had adrenal problems! LOL
