Guest guest Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hi all, I was up early this morning watching Fox NEWS with my hubby before he left for work. One of the commercials was for a medical assistance group. I hurried and grabbed a pen so I could pass along the information. (Someone was asking about this the other day on the board) Anyway, the contact info for Partnership for Perscription Assistance is 888-4PPA-NOW (phone number) and the web address is PPARX.org Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 If it is the same place I go thru it's very nice. I get my enbrel, celebrex, zoloft and diovan thru it. Only have to fill out some papers and give them some tax info. Every so often you will need to renew the application but it is the same process. Good Luck to all that try it. > > > > Hi all, > > I was up early this morning watching Fox NEWS with my hubby before > he left for work. One of the commercials was for a medical assistance > group.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 I was thinking your on HC and this Saliva test was with you taking HC. No you don't need it you need to take this at bedtime to keep your high levels down. But your in the first states of having Adreals problems. Here is a cut and past from this link about sleeping. http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/adrenal-fatigue/ ==================================================== In early stages of adrenal fatigue cortisol levels tend to rise and if they are high at midnight they can energise you and keep you awake. Phosphorylated serine can be used to lower cortisol at these times due to its ACTH dampening effect. ---------------------------------------------------- And there is a lot of good info about this in this link. http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ps/ Co-Moderator Phil > From: yinyang42b <acupet@...> > Subject: Re: help with meds > > Date: Sunday, July 18, 2010, 3:47 PM > Got my testosterone tested at lab > quest last week . will post them asap.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Phil, Thanks for that input. I do take isophos and melatonin 1 mg at night. I will wind down the HC low dose im on. It didnt do much for me anyway. Do you think my inadequate testost levels and elevated estrogen can account for how crappy ive felt for the past 3.5 years? I am tired and aching like never before, and viagra doesnt work for me anymore.My BP runs 150/85. > > > > > > > From: yinyang42b <acupet@> > > > > Subject: help with meds > > > > > > > > Date: Sunday, July 18, 2010, 12:36 PM > > > > 54 year old male with symptoms of > > > > brain fog, fatigue, muscle soreness, sensitive to > > sound for > > > > last 4 years .Started erfa in april and has > > slowly worked up > > > > to 4 grains. morning temps started at 96.5 and > > have risen to > > > > 97.4. gets to 98.5 in afternoon at its > > peak.Bloods /Saliva > > > > as follows: > > > > > > > > Blood 3/5/10 > > > > > > > > Dhea sulfate 163 25-240 > > > > pregnenolone 12 13-208 > > > > cortisol a.m. 19 4-22 > > > > T3 Free > > > > 314 230-420 > > > > T4 free > > > > 1.1 .8-1.8 > > > > tsh > > > > 1.37 .4-4.5 > > > > tyroid perox ab <10 <35 > > > > thyroglob ab <20 > > > > <20 > > > > hemoglob A1c 5.5% <6 > > > > > > > > Blood 5/19/10 > > > > > > > > Iron 138 45-170 > > > > TIBC 331 250-450 > > > > % sat 42 > > > > 20-50 > > > > UIBC 193 > > > > 110-370 > > > > Ferritin 37 20-380 > > > > FT3 372 > > > > 230-420 > > > > Ft4 1.0 > > > > .8-1.8 > > > > T3 Uptake 32.2 > > > > 27.8-40.7 > > > > tsh .51 > > > > .4-4.5 > > > > estradiol 34 13-54 > > > > testosterone total 403 250-1100 > > > > testost free 101.2 > > > > 35-155 > > > > testost.% free 2.51 1.5-2.2 > > > > > > > > Started on gentle iron 2 pills daily.also i have > > been on > > > > testosterone for 2 years, 120mg injections > > weekly.when these > > > > were taken i was on 3 grains erfa. > > > > > > > > Saliva 5/24/10 Diagnostechs > > > > > > > > Cortisol AM 23 13-24 > > > > noon > > > > 7 5-10 > > > > PM > > > > 6 3-8 > > > > midnight 17 1-4 > > > > > > > > I do suffer from insomnia as well.isophos at > > night helps w > > > > low dose melatonin. > > > > > > > > Saliva 6/24/10 ZRT labs > > > > > > > > Cortisol am 9.5 3.7-9.5 > > > > noon > > > > 3.0 1.2-3.0 > > > > eve > > > > 1.5 .6-1.9 > > > > night .7 > > > > .4-1.0 > > > > Blood spot zrt > > > > > > > > PSA 1.3 <5.4 > > > > FT4 1.6 .7 - 2.5 > > > > FT3 4.1 2.5-6.5 > > > > TSH <.2 .5-3.0 > > > > TPO 27 0-150 > > > > > > > > Bloods 6/24/10 > > > > > > > > IGF 1 314 87-238 > > > > Vit d 52.4 32-100 > > > > Sex hormone binding 18.3 14.5-48 > > > > Ferritin 112 30-400 > > > > > > > > Currently taking 4 grains erfa, 15 mg HC, gentle > > iron, > > > > testosterone 80 mg every 3 days, 250 hcg every 3 > > days, > > > > arimidex 1/4 tab every 3 days..

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 How do you take your temps read this link. http://www.drrind.com/therapies/metabolic-temperature-graph To do this right you need a good shake down Temp gage start taking your temps after your up 3 hrs then every 3 hrs 3x's a day add them up div. by 3 this is your avg. Print out the chart in the link and chart your temps avg. On 4 grains of Armour my temps avg. in time went up to 98.3.
