Guest guest Posted October 8, 2007 Report Share Posted October 8, 2007 Hi Cam~ Sorry to have been abit confusing....Carrabbas is Outback Steakhouse's Italian Restaurant concept...we opted to stay here in SC back in March because he was promised that he would have a site here where we are living and the deal for that was squashed...so he was then offered a site in Michigan but we opted not to take it...so he was then offered this one and jumped all over it! Hope this helps in understanding!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 I never thought I would see the day when things started to get better for my dd. Finally after 9 years of trying things... I am REALLY seeing great results. The last thing we tried was the Oil of Oregano. It is fabulous. The ALA too has been wonderful. She is doing really well and even eating all kinds of things without reactions. Yeaaaaah!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Roni, finding a doctor that will listen to you and work with you is fantastic news; I'm so glad for you. I don't know much about your other problems unfortunately; so I can't really give any advice. I do know that you can try a cold compress for the headaches and see if that helps. And if it doesn't you can try a heating pad. Either one might help or make it worse; or have no effect either way. But they can be discontinued immediately without having drugs in your body that have to dissipate. Aspirin typically was helpful to me but I almost never have a headache anymore.

What you need to juggle is the fact that the residual presence of T4 in your system contributes some T3 in addition to what you take. I would suggest gradually increasing the T3 to the full dose over about a two week period, but slow down if you get afib. Since the T3 clears from your system relatively quickly, if you do replace it too quickly, you should be able to adjust quickly.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Thanks Chuck, That's what I'm doing. It's the wierdest thing. My feet and the rest of me had quite a bit of edema for about a week. Since I stopped the T4, today I've been running to the bathroom all day, and the edema has visibly depleted. I was wondering if the T4 could have caused it. <>Roni Immortality exists! It's called knowledge! Just because something isn't seen doesn't mean it's not there<> > > ...

Guest guest Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 The same thing happened to me when Forest changed the Armour formula. I just had to tolerate it for a while, and then when the RT3 showed up on my blood tests, the water just depleted the same way. That was back in July. <>Roni Immortality exists!

I was wondering if > the T4 could have caused it. I don't see how, except as an allergic reaction to fillers. Have you tried different forms of T4? I suppose this could be an RT3 issue, but that usually just manifests as hypoT until you get to very high levels of T4, which can cause toxicity with RT3.
