Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi Bramadurai, Are you in the early stages of being treated as in the first three months? I have been on Thyroxin since December 04 and I had terrible episodes of dizziness and vertigo, straight after taking my meds, sometimes after breakfast. So much so I would just fall asleep until the worst of it passed. I still get dizzy spells though no where near as bad as before treatment or since, say in the past month or so. I tolerate the synthetic hormone well I would say and I wait to eat at least an hour after meds with no ill effect. Sometimes I eat within the hour and still do not get the dizziness. I feel even after treatment this problem exists for some hypo's but mine has certainly got better. It is rather like the depression that can sometimes come out of no where. My depression surfaced in February, three months after starting treatment. The depression too is better, but still haunts me after nearly five months of treatment. Trust that it will get better.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi Bramadura, Coconut oil will not be the cause of your drowsiness. It is often recommended for hypo's to help us lose weight and regulate body temperature. Plus it is a medium chain fat which means it does not sit in your liver going toxic like hydrogenated vegetable oils and hard animal fats, interfering with your T3 conversion much of which goes on in the liver. Liver cleansing may help over time. Val.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 HI BR I'm just starting to get my diet(meaning how I eat) understood, almost. And what I am understanding is that I need to eat more protein. It sounds like to me you are eating to much sugar foods and not enough protein. Sugar, meaning, any white foods(exceptions: like califlower). I fought this for years and the people that told me such things, but my body is telling differently now, so I'm trying to listen. I started taking lipitor for my cholesterol a couple of years ago, then about 9 mos. or so later I was dx hypothyroidism and he gave me synthroid. Imediately, I started having episodes of , when I would swim and I was into about 30 mins. of swimming I would start feeling like I had to pee very badly, started shaking very badly, was a little dizzy and starving, it felt like I was going to die (literally) if I didn't eat right then.. I was used to swimming for 40 mins. with no problems at all. So, he took me off the lipitor and I started on high doses of niaspan (time released niacin) after a few ,months I started having allergic reaction to it and had to stop that. I didn't take anything for a few more months and my triglycerides and cholesterol and all of that went way up so the new med. now is vytorin (for choesterol) I just started my 2 month of it and so far no side effects that I can notice. I've only been able to make it to swim 3 times so far and the last time was 32 mins. and no effect, great, I'm hoping it stays that way at least until I can lose this weight and take the numbers down. So, what I guess I am saying is it might not be just the thyroid or just one med. , it could be a combination of all. take care Bev bramadurai@... wrote: Hi Puneet and Bev Right now Iam writing this with a feeling of more drowsiness and dizziness.Normally I will be forced to go to bed 9.30.p.m. itself.But for no reason I will be forced to get up at 4.00.p.m.I will not see the clock since that will upset me psychologically.Hence I will just keep my eyes closed and lie down on the bed till 6.00. a.m. If my stomoch is empty,I will get vertigo and a feeling of push forward will be there.After I take a soft drink,I will be better by 50%.I wil take bath at 7.00.A.M. take my breakfast at 7.45.a.m. and catch the office bus at 8.25 a.m.My dizzi and drowsi both will start heavily.I will feely hungry at 10.45hrs itself.I will manage with some buiscuits till 12.15 p.m. when I will take my lunch.After lunch the drowsy and dizzi will increase.Hence I will be forced to take some rest.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 The soft drink you are taking, is it a caffiene drink? If so, it is the stimulant and sugar in it that are allowing you to continue. This points to low adrenal function. Bananas are very high sugar fruits. When the sugar is consumed, used up, then the sugar levels in the blood can go very low. I would begin by substituting something else for the bananas. they also have nutrients that can mess with your heart, too much potassium I think. Ice cream before bed has helped me to not wake up with a headache the next morning. Food allergies go along with hypot. You might begin to investigate leaving off groups of foods or nutrients and see if they make a difference. the dizzi and drowsi say the brain is not getting enough of something to function properly. High proteins, low carbs burn slower so keep a steady input. Please research low adrenal function, starting the new thyroid meds will stress the adrenals more than they have been which will cause many of these same symptoms. I've had these same symptoms when starting a new prescription medicine, not for hypot. that has to be adrenal. Synthroid may contain both gluten and or lactose. Anyone know for sure? I do better on levoxyl, felt like crap on synthroid. If it does contain both, I now know why I feel better on the other. I have an allergic type reaction to all things containing wheat or flour and sometimes to lactose.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi BR, After I have started taking medication,the dizinees and drowsiness has increased.My head always remains heavy.Though my TSH level is much below what it was before I started taking synthetic thyroxine,I felt better before and did not get dizzy. I hear there is a Homeopatheci substitute called thyroidine for the synthetic hormone.Though not sure on its reliability. Puneet bramadurai@... wrote: Hi Puneet and Bev Right now Iam writing this with a feeling of more drowsiness and dizziness.Normally I will be forced to go to bed 9.30.p.m. itself.But for no reason I will be forced to get up at 4.00.a.m.(I will take my thyroxin and try to sleep)I will not see the clock since that will upset me psychologically.Hence I will just keep my eyes closed and lie down on the bed till 6.00. a.m. If my stomoch is empty,I will get vertigo and a feeling of push forward will be there.After I take a soft drink,I will be better by 50%.I wil take bath at 7.00.A.M. take my breakfast at 7.45.a.m. and catch the office bus at 8.25 a.m.My dizzi and drowsi both will start heavily.I will feely hungry at 10.45hrs itself.I will manage with some biscuits till 12.15 p.m. when I will take my lunch.After lunch the drowsy and dizzi will increase.Hence I will be forced to take some rest. I feel after started taking my thyroxin(50 mcg,the drowsy and dizzi also started increasing.Will it be true?I have completed 35 days of dosage.Evening I will take tiffin.Night also I will take night tiffin.Before going to bed I will take two bananas.Are these Bananas are protein rich food and induce vertigo in the morning? I have been taking banana just before going to bed for the past 10 years.Green banana(Robusto) is very good for indegestion problems and they will put up body weight.Since I have lost 8kgs of body weight,I am trying to maintain the weight only through this banana. My doctor says,I should have a calory test(to check for any unbalancing between both ears) in my ears.They will inject chilled water in one of the ears and wait for the vertigo/guiddiness to come.If that comes,well the ear is o.k.due to the addition of mass.If vertigo/guiddiness does'nt come,well there is an unbalance between the two ears which require further study treatment. This is my routine.I am not a daibetic(Yesterday also,my blood test confirmed I am not.But Bev,will banana consumption will induce Guiddiness or vertigo in the morning.(Does it contain more protein?) Puneet and Bev:I expect reply from both of you. Note:Clarify by Applying oil over the hair(Coconut oil or some other hair oil)will create more drowsiness?

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi Puneet, I too felt the same thing like what you are feeling now.But my endo says,it will take atleast 3 months of thyroxin medication to bring back to normalcy.Hence I will have to continue. Another thing I would like to tell is Air conditioned cold room or winter is number one enemy for the Hypos.Hence I would suggest the hypos to go out of the A/c room and wander in the hot sun,get some fresh air so that we will be re-vitalised. In Homeopathy there is a medicine called Iodum which can will stimulate thyroid(not substituting like synthetic thyroxin).However when somebody has to take homeopathy medicine,one has to stop allopathy completely.It is all one's confidence level. Another Indian medicine for similating throid function is Black Thulsi.It is being sold in Indian Siddha medical shops.Again this depends on one's confidence level on such medicines.I have not tried any such medicines so far,since my first priority is to come back to normalcy and then for permanent cure we can try any of these medicines. For my morning vertigo,my ENT says,I don't have any problem with my ENT but it is my Cervical spondylysis that causes vertigo thorugh out the day.Is that right?Any body is having Hypo coupled with Cervical spondylysis?Or is Hypothyroid responsibly for such vertigo causing cervical spondylysis Throw some light on this subject.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Hi Br, I don't know very much about it. I have found out about it on the sugar addiction support group, which I don't believe I'm addicted to sugar. I think most of my prob. is my thyroid. I think it has to do with diet mainly. I really don't think there is a test for it....??not sure.. I have looked it up on search before, but I just can't remember,,,,,, memory,,, thyroid prob. but, if you look it up on the web you can find out what it's about.

Since listed the ingredients, the sugar is keeping you going, if it has caffiene that will add to it, and the vitamins and minerals are binding to your thyroid meds so that they aren't working. You need 4 hours between the thyroid meds and any vitamins to get the benefits of both. I'm like , I drink water, I have no electrolyte problem, I do eat extra salt for extra iodine and sodium. Your body retains fluids when it doesn't have enough sodium not the other way which I had always been taught. > How to test the function of adrinal function?

I have not had many incidences of indigestion since I began thyroid meds. I used to have them frequently. I would still experiment with changing what you are eating just before bed. I have read that a complex carbohydrate is good, I would just switch from the bananas. I ate extra bananas when I was having some hyper symptoms and the heart palps just got worse. I would also keep the 4 hours between anything with extra vitamins or minerals, other than regular foods, and see if there is a difference. We all have to experiment to find exactly what works for us. Others can only tell us what worked for them. Joan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 the boost also has milk proteins in it. If you are lactose intolerant, and I have some problems with lactose, that could also be causing some problems. I would be concerned about the high levels of sugars.
