Val and Janie and aggravations!!!

December 19, 2004

I never ceased to be amazed at some of the unique difficulties we

have. I will be curious about your labs when you get them done. It

could very well be the Ferritin---low ferritin can cause the

symptoms you describe, but so can fuzzy adrenals. My issues are

definitely female hormonal. I also think my adrenals are WAYY

overproducing during the day to keep me going--thus I am crashing in

a major way the MINUTE I start relaxing after work. And, I am

surmising that my adrenals are doing what they are doing because my

estrogen and progesterone have fallen WAYYY too low. So, I have

greatly upped my progesterone cream since Monday. Fingers crossed.

Janie

> That's alright Janie, I am having problems right now too. I DO

think it is the Winter weather and I am playing with my dosages

again. I got home from work and fell asleep in front of the TV slept

THREE hours, and now here I sit wide awake. I have to work

tomorrow.. UGH. I dropped my dosage as I was getting a little tremor

in my hands.. can;t have that scissoring dogs, now I am hypo again.

How the heck can I be hypo on 6 grains of Armour (well 2 Armour and

4 generic) & and 50 mcg Cytomel? In this next week I am ordering

some labs. I am having a Ferritin test even though this new doc I am

to see in Feb. said nothing about that, as I am going through

Healthcheck anyway, I might as well get that too. This sucks. I am

still having some hypo things going away, but the tired is returning

and some aches. It has en quite cold here this week, and I am

freezing. NEVER had that symptom before! I sit at this computer with

a heavy floor length chenille robe on with the portable electric

heater going and I am shivering. GGGGRRRRR Could also be holiday

stresses too I suppose.
