Hi the blood pressure was 90/70

[Guest guest]

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

[Guest guest]

by the way what is the potassium level? which reading was it

[Guest guest]

oh my i just read that a low potassium can lead to a stroke! shucks I grabbed

2 bananas and am eating them right now, i will tell my husband to buy me

gatorade tomorrow

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

[Guest guest]

what were you taking for chest pain cindi?

for a quick potassium fix got me tickled.

I thought back then it was all related to my asthma diagnosis (which also

turned out to be hypo)...or I would think i was having a heart attack. But I

used an asthma inhaler.

[Guest guest]

haha cindy its ok girl you can laugh atbout it LOL

I just read bananas are high in potassium and after reading about the

stroke,that scared me!!! thats all i need another reason to panic!!!

[Guest guest]

wow you know what after the hypo I developed reactive airway disease, which

is simialr to astha i use an inhaler and take singulair daily

you knwo what I also developed a fibroid, I am wondering if the thyroid

caused all these problems, i have read thatwhen you have a weak liver you get

these

problems, I was thinking of doing a liver cleanse anyone tried it?

[Guest guest]

my doc wanted to put me on , a low hormone birth control piils for my fibroid

but I was afraid that can mess up my thyrodi even more, I took birth control

pills ofr 10 years I always wonder if they caused this HYPO mess

i bet all these things could be related to the hypo.

several folks have done liver cleanses i think. the liver doesn't work so

well during hypo...and a liver detox can be helpful.

i'm not so sure there's a big difference in asthma and reactive airway.

both of them make you feel like you can't breathe I guess. 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.

[Guest guest]

has ton sof calcium and potassium, I wonder if i can take 3 or 4 a day,

woudl too mcuh potassium at one time mess me up? I just ate my 2 bananas now my

stomach hurts aghh

[Guest guest]

No i have not been tested for hashimotos, I can ask my doc to test me for it

what is hashimotos? I have heard about it but have no idea what it is

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

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.

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.
