RE: Itchy skin. Creepy Crawlies

[Guest guest]

I had itching really bad and that's how they found out I had a thyroid

problem. The allergist tested me for everything under the sun one summer

trying to get the itching to stop. After two months of testing he said the

only thing he could think is it's a rare symptom of a thyroid problem. He

ran the tests and it confirmed I had Hashi's. As for the beer belly, I have

heard folks on the group report it but, I haven't had that myself.

I think I look pregnant! That is where my weight seems to go, right to the

belly! :-(( I sure hope this Armour gets me straightened out and I get rid of

my belly! I guess doing some sit ups or crunches will not hurt!

Hey

Thats interesting that you too have a long pregnancy. You don't

think it was due to child birth or anything do you? what other

symptoms do you have? I cant think properly and it's difficult to

take evry day. I am ok if I sit and do nothing but once I get out in

the rat race it starts off

Kathy...

Anytime in the past that I had gained weight, it was around the middle

as well. Before I knew that I had a thyroid problem and I was very ill, I

had a

belly issue as well. It was somewhat diminished when I started on Synthroid,

but the most dramatic results came when I began adrenal support.

I believe thats where the majority of my health problems are.

Considering all of the crunches in the world are not gonna get rid of this

kind of belly weight. Fortunately women have the edge over men in combating

fat in this area! Our bodies can actually dip into this storage and use it

for

energy (provided we arent feeding ourselves too many carbs) where men

can't. That is...if our hormones are in check! Cortisol and adrenaline

being

hormones that are very important in this case.

The additional support also helped me to have more stamina, and I am able

to work out longer, and thats definately a bonus!

Be well....

Do you get itchy blisters on your hands and feet when

you get really stressed? I do and it drives me

insane-but only when I am stressed, then I am left

with loads of dead skin that takes weeks to get rid

of.

All the best

What kind of adrenal support are you using? I know it would make me feel

better, just not sure what to take.

Hi Kathy...

Hope you had a good Christmas!

I take a supplement I can get at my local vitamin cottage.. It's called

Planetary formula, Schizandra Adrenal Complex. I take a capsule in the

morning, and again before bed. I also use 1% hydrocrtisone cream

occasionally when I feel really stressed, and am unable to exercise

it off. (the stress!) Most often I just go for a walk or a jog or something

if I am having a rough day...but if I can't I just squeeze an amount about

the size of my fingertip of the cream and rub it on my abdomen.

It really helps me to calm down...

I knew that I had some adrenal problems when, a friend of mine pointed

out that nothing seems to get me going anymore...

I had become very apathetic..tired etc..and I rarely startled and I had

a hard time concentrating. I hadnt given it any thought really..

Thank goodness I have people close to me to point out differences!

I would imagine the same sort of supplement would be available just

about anywhere..

best wishes!

...

[Guest guest]

you would see an amazing difference with cortisol. IMO this is far too weak

to do much.

Where can I get Cortisol? My husband is on Prednisone for his Rheumatoid

Arthritis. Could I take this instead of Cortisol to see if it helps me. I feel

like I have Osteoarthritis, but I think it is Adrenal Fatigue. I have been on

Armour Thyroid for 3 weeks now, and I am still fatigued, and very stiff. Wake

up around 2-4 and can't get back to sleep.

Cortisol in the right dose is very different from prednisone. Docs just

don't seem to know how to use cortisol effectively. Hydrocortisone

(cortef) or deltacortril (time release so you can take one a day of 5mg) is

available from http://mastersmarketing.com

Take cortef 5mg 4X a day or delta 5mg once a day.
