Guest guest Posted April 2, 2008 Report Posted April 2, 2008 Hi Val, I've been on Florinef for about 6-8 weeks now and feeling considerably better, but I just had labs done and they're NOT considerably better! Would appreciate your feedback: sodium 140 (dec. '07 135) potass 3.9 (dec. '07: 3.9) chlor 101 (dec. '07:100) As far as potassium, I have a hx of low K and had been supplementing slo K, 8 meq, twice a day for years. I stopped taking this when I started taking Florinef....perhaps I should start taking it again. ?? I eat a literal ton of high K foods, so it is not my diet that is at fault. As far as salt goes, I have to be careful now that I don't take too much salt as I get headaches if I do; In addition to salting my food, I drink 1 tsp salt, spread throughout the day...but perhaps I can sneak another 1/4 tsp a couple times a day more....What do you suggest? Why are these labs so low, do you think? Dahlia Quote

You r body is losing potassium for some reason and it will try to keep them balanced so I would try that before increasing the sodium more. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
