Actually, yeah, it is for me right now (nothing quite like having a period

for just over a month....they are going to test me for endometriosis) but the

reason I asked is because I had *recently* started increasing my water

intake, and so has my brother. Now if he's going thru *that time of month*

lol! something would be wrong with this picture. That's why I went ahead

and asked.

Thanks for the reply!

and **all** - regarding monthly cycles that don't quit and also

pigment disorders - both of these can be brought on by adrenal and thyroid

problems. There is a site that has a comparison chart of the thyroid and

the adrenals - that lists ALL the symptoms of each that everyone should

read - here's the url:

http://www.holistic-med.com/symptoms.htm#symptoms

this above url actually hopefully will take you RIGHT to this page so you

don't have to hunt.... let me know if it works....

I have finally got around to reading this site on adrenals/thyroid and I am

blown away by it. I am definitely in the adrenal camp. I feel like hugging

you. Now, what do I do to get what you are taking. What is it and how does

it help. Sorry to ask all this, but I have no time to sit and go through it

all. My little one takes up so much of my time, so I am going to ask you a

big favour to help me please.

You are truly a God send.

Love and blessings

- on the www.modernherbalist.com spot the docs give a great helper

called " iso cort " which is what I take - i've had cortisone injections and

all that too - and that is what this remedy is for - and also for the

adrenals. This medicine has been a HUGE help for me...

Re: water retention

THANK YOU for posting this! I have never looked into

the adrenal issue before, but this is amazing to me! I

have so many of these symptoms...whitening around the

mouth, sunken in eyes, insomnia, etc. These problems

started around 1996, when I took a massive dose of

steroids...Azmacort, Flonaize, Nasalcort, Prednisone,

and many, many more. I then developed insomnia and a

lack of energy, dizziness, spaciness, and exausting

fatique. My doctor said I was " sensitive " to the

steroids...right. I've gotten better, but not fully. I

am definitely going to look into this! Thanks so much!

It is a misconception to believe that you will Lose weight just because you are being medicated! Everything that I have read or heard says that it is still a difficult road, most ppl (Myself Included) Want a quick fix, but what we all have to understand is the fact that it didn't appear overnight [weight], and it's not going to go away with out WORK!!! Just start slow and work out only 1 day a week if that is all you can manage, if your body feels anything like mine the last thing you want to do is work out! Watch your diet, there are foods that Hypo's should not eat.... Check url's below......

As for the Water Retention, I have heard that this happens on several of the meds for a couple of weeks, but you also have to remember that it takes Water to Purge Water! Drink that water, I try to average a gallon to a gallon and a half a day, and I hate the stuff!

Through my reading I have discovered that people who added CLA (Conjugated Linoleac Acid) , L-Tyrosine, & L-Lysine to there diets, taken 1 hour AFTER Amour has increased weight loss and energy.

I hope all this helps! I've included a couple links below in regards to weightloss and Hypo!

Water retention

I have been taking Armour now for about 4 weeks and I'm having a huge problem with water retention. Is this from the Armour? I thought I would begin to loose weight once I started taking the medication, but I think I've gained weight due to the water retention. Anybody with experience with this? TIAAmy

[Guest guest]

Hi Kathie,

Thanks for your response. I know that I'm not going to loose

overnight and I don't expect that of my body. I have just never had a

water retention problem and it is bothering me. I drink lots of water

and that is all I drink with the exception of one cup of green tea in

the mornings. I also watch what I eat and make healthy choices MOST

of the time. I just found Dr. Mercola's website that you listed

before I read your response. It has lots of great info! I'm also

taking L-lysine and evening primrose. I'll have to check into the

others you listed. You are so right that I don't feel like exercising

and I know that is part of the missing link. I'm hoping to start

feeling well enough to actually get my body in motion. Then maybe I

will see some results.

Thanks for the links and other info!

Hello again!

are you seeing an ND or MD? I would seriously talk to the Doc about the retention, see what he/she says....

also wanted to mention that I got a beginners Tai Chi video and will be starting that soon as it's very low impact but good for the energy levels!

Talk to you later,

Kathie

Hi,

I am seeing an MD unfortunately. I hope I don't offend anyone here,

but I little faith in the medical community for various reasons. So I

reluctantly went this route, because things had gotten so bad for me

that I was on the brink of not being able to function. I have a

husband, 2 small children (2-1/2 & 5 yrs old) and a demanding job so

it was getting pretty scary. I guess I need to call her about the

water retention, but I wish I could just figure it out on my own.

Good luck on the Tai Chi. Let me know how it goes. I need to look

into something I can do. At this point, once my children are in bed

all I have enregy to do is take a bath and go to bed myself. I hope

that changes soon. My husband is working nights right now so he's not

much help during the week. Hopefully that will change soon as well.

Amy,

I am not on Armour, but I imagine any medication has side effects and

they effect everyone differently. I would call the dr. or call a

pharmacist and ask if water retention is a side effect. I looked Armour

up in my Mosby's drug reference and it doesn't say that water retention

is a side effect. But, like I say, all medicines/herbs effect different

people differently.

Also, you can buy teas that may help you with water retention. They are

detox teas. They have herbs for water retention in them, (dandelion,

etc.)

Happy Springtime!!

Love,

Reneé and Jerry

there are foods that Hypo's should not eat....

Thank you for this info also, I have SO many questions and this group is FULL of info. Why didn't my doctors tell me I should

watch my diet??? Why don't they tell you anything???

[Guest guest]

Amy,

I used to have a bit of a water retention problem. I found that herbal diuretic tea worked nicely. Traditional Medicinals makes a good one. You should be able to get it at the health food store.Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

[Guest guest]

Because they themselves don't know! I'm really disheartened as to How lightly they take thyroid disorders, considering the fact that it affects ever other gland and body function and with out treatment can have lasting debilitating effects....

B6 is also an excellent diuretic. 500 to 1500mg/day.

How 'bout it!!!!! This is what I've been yelling for 3 yrs now! Not to mention

what it does to your home life and family who are trying to cope with you.

Wonder how many people have lost marriages and/or friendships from it too.

I am POSITIVE, the T-shirt that says

"Next mood swing......5 minutes" was a person with thyroid disease!!

Hannah

[Guest guest]

LOL!

There's another thing I don't know. How much of stuff to take.

I use the one a day for active people with double the amount of all

the B's so far. Since that was premeasured in a bottle for me

and says one a day though.....I think I'm not taking too much to

hurt myself. Better be anyway. I have someone to sue it not at least! LOL

If I overdose myself, I'm up the creek (without a paddle) .

Hi , I feel bloated all the time too, I wish I also knew what it was, but all I know is I have the same problem

Love Ya!

I had the same problem. It went away when I changed my diet to a gluten

and casein free diet. I have coeliac disease, and I've been told that

this is likely what caused my hypothyroidism.

I don't know if this helps anyone.

I believe swelling of the hands and face are a symptom of the hypothyroidism.

Kat,

Does milk have casein in it?

Also, does brown rice have gluten in it? Thanks!

Mindy

[Guest guest]

Yes, when I take in too much sodium. My fingers swell to the point I

have to remove my rings, as do my ankles and feet. I stay away from

salty snacks and do not salt any food and the swelling goes down.

Happy Holidays,

Yes. Casein is a protein in milk.

No, gluten is found in wheat, barley, rye, etc.
