Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 HI val, i will do what your telling me about the armour, anyway the endo that gave me the armour is in the past, I dont want to see him even my own general doc said that he was no good, and when a doc talks about another doc in this way you know something is not right, esepcailly when they are both in the same office, that endo had put me on armour about 4 months ago, but when my tsh was very very high and i had myzedema coma he started me at 100mcg, which was very low, so he has been keeping me on a very low dose, no wonder a year later after my myxedema coma I am in worst shape. the worst thing is that my husband goes to work at 5am and i stay alone and I get so scared when I get dizzy that I get a panic attack, thinking that i am going to get sick while alone with my 2 girls, I am telling you this is a nightmare as if you guys odnt already know. aghh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Oh my being around a HYPO man val that should would be HORRIBLE!!!! anyway its sad that your x pinched your leg, because if they only knew how much this darn disease affects us inside and out, I mean my face swells up and I have puffy eyes which are horrible, anyway you know what my husband has HYPERTHYROID, or should I said he had, he got very sick and was even admitted in the hospital but then he refused the rai and later he stopped his meds 3 years ago and is fine!! anyway when he lost like 50 pds in a few months I told him Iwish i had that disease cause that way i could lose weigh and eat what i want, .. anyway he would eat and eat and wouldnt gain an ounce, oh well a few years later I became HYPER too but very unlucky because I actually gained weight! of course only 10% of hyperpatients gain, and I was in that 10% I guess you have to be careful what you wish for lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had regular asthma either...it was just the respiratory stuff from the hypo . i always felt like i had fluid building up in my chest. and i guess i did. hypo fluid. cindi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Synthroid will not be enough thyroid hormones for someone as ill as you are! It does not contain the T1, T2, T3 or Calcitonin direct that your body needs. I would find a doctor that will treat you with natural thyroid. I fear you will be miserable for years as many of us were on T4 only meds. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I would be VERY leery of a doctor that prescribes without even seeing you. But in a pinch, it is certainly better than staying on Synthroid. You haven;t hurt your self by taking the Synthroid again. It IS better than nothing at all when you have as low a thyroid as your is. I would take the Synthroid for now, and hunt a local doctor that is willing to give you Armour. ASK them when you call their office before making the appointment. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Your doctor is an idiot! He gave you less Armour to prove to you that it didn't work as he didn;t WANT to prescribe it. Ask US... We have all heard this crap from doctors! No matter which med you decide to take for no, try to find a better doctor and one that knows the benefits of Armour. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat? Diabetes?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 While I respect that particular doctor alot and have read his book, it does say he cannot treat you nor prescribe for you from these coaching sessions. Sad but that is kind of a rip-off! If he cannot prescribe for you, you will still need to find a doctor that will and is willing to treat you by symptoms and give you ENOUGH Armour to feel well. *Artistic Grooming * Hurricane, WV Fat cat?
