Re: Sherry-Q for the girls

[Guest guest]

Sherry..

I have Hashimotos HypT also…and have all of the same problems as you do. My

restless leg syndrome..I thought I inherited as a family trait…since several

in my family have it. I have the insomnia…and then on other days I can’t

seem to keep my eyes open. I have noticed a big difference since I got off

of Synthroid and got on Armour Thyroid. My heart palpitations have gone

away too. I would lay in bed at night and my mind would travel so fast, it

just wore me out..but I couldn’t go to sleep! I was also diagnosed with

Fibromyalgia, which my doc said could be part of my restless leg syndrome.

I also started using the Progestecare(sp?) and Adrenal/Spleen drops…which

has all but alleviated my hot flashes and down days. Which thyroid meds are

you on?

Thanks..

Q for the girls

I can't figure out if this is a thyroid thing or hormonal. I'm 39

with hashimotos hypothyroid. Occassionally I get bouts of insomnia,

simply wide awake with restless leg syndrom and hot flashes. This

is all in the pm only. I have no hyper symptoms what so ever, low

pulse and bp, and temp was 97.6 normal (which is high for me). Is

this some other hormonal phenomina, or can it still be hypo related?

Just wondering if I need to add something else to the mix - estrogen,

progesterone, or??

I highly doubt I am hyper for several reasons I will spare you.

Hi ,

You do fit my profile exactly. The restless leg thing is so

annoying. It took forever and lots of research to link the two but I

am certain it is thyroid related. Thr racing mind, that is the exact

same insomnia.

I am on synthroid and cytomel. I agree the synthroid alone doesn't

do it. But cytomel works wonders. I would love to try armour but

would have to find a new doctor again, and I was down to the last

reputable one that could see me this year when I found my current

endo. So without extreme persistent symptoms I am reluctant to let

go of my endo just yet. He will absolutely not prescribe Armour.

Yesterday I felt warm all day. I even broke a modest sweat at the

gym, something I never do without hitting the sauna. But I wasn't

running a temp. I used a very weak progesterone cream yesterday. So

far so good today.

BTW - do you get strange hard bumps on your scale? At first you

might think these are blimishes, but they aren't. They are more the

size of small mesquito bits or deep large blemishes. But I know it's

not acne. It's again another strange phenemonia that comes in cycles.

No, they are definately not blemishes or scars. It sounds like you

haven't experienced them. They eventually go away, it's only one in

one area and they are not clustered butwill have several at a time -

one on neck, one in the front scalp, one in the back etc.

Thanks for trying
