Re: Re: Adrenal Issues/Tish et all

[Guest guest]

I am self treating after 25 years of doctors testing and " practicing " on me. All

those years I was never tested for antibodies! I am severely hypo now with very

little if any T4 to T3 conversion. I have to take not only ALOT of Armour (or

generic) but Cytomel as well. But I am finally feeling better than I have in

over 20 years. Six years ago, while I was under three doctor's care, I was on 6

prescriptions, wearing compression panty hose, and they wanted to hospitalize me

for unresponsive hypertension. Synthroid was one of those scripts the rest were

for fluid and high blood pressure and HRT. I am now on Estrogen gel,

progesterone cream (had hyst at 27 years old) Armour and Cytomel.. no blood

pressure meds at all and low/normal BP! No more swelling in my feet & legs and

have finally managed to lose a little weight last Spring, though it seems to be

at a standstill now. I am now on 6 grains Armour and 75 mcg Cytomel. I don't

think I have to worry about Graves anymore! Just when I run out of places to buy

Armour or generic natural on the web! LOL

Geez, Val...you've really been through it all & then some, haven't you? I admire

your courage & tenacity tho.

Where do you buy your Armour? I need to order some more or get Naturethroid

soon, not sure which yet, before I run out here. Felt better for a couple of

days since Saturday evening & now in a slump again.
