Hi Everyone, The availability of MRI scans under the NHS seems to be a postcode lottery. There is a private company, based near Solihull and the M42, that...
Good morning all, I'm not feeling well. Actually, I'm just plain sick. It could be depression manifesting itself physically, but I don't think so even though...
I've been trying to pin down anything that is different from my usual routine which could account for how lousy I feel. I take Cortef. 30 mgs in the am. 10 mgs...
Becky, I'm sorry you are feeling bad, but I think I have a least a partial solution. You are taking to much cortef. 30 mg per day is the most you should be...
In a message dated 1/2/05 12:14:13 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... Thanks Chris, I will ask about this. No, I have no test results. All they ever tell me is that...
Taking higher steroid dose will make you gain weight. The synthroid and change in diet may be countering this. If you lowered the cortef, I bet you would...
I looked at the recommend docs collection and found these you could check into. http://www.geocities.com/thyroide/docs-USA.html (Georgia is listed middle of...
In a message dated 1/2/05 1:01:09 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... 112 or 111. I forget. I will phone the clinic tomorrow and ask for my records. I guess I can do...
Yeah ask them to mail all labs for the past year. If that is your synthyroid dose, you ain't getting any, but check and let us know. Your welcome, Chris ... ...
In a message dated 1/2/05 7:10:11 PM Eastern Standard Time, ... My synthroid is 0.1 mgs. I started at .150, and it's been reduced four times. My gp kept in...
I found my last bottle of synthroid and it's .125. I remember my endo saying my thyroid results were in the high end of normal. I don't understand if they were...
Be careful playing with the synthroid dosage. I don't recommend going higher than .150. Keep a careful record of your vitals before getting out of bed in the...
Hi Becky, sorry to hear you aren't well - I'm sure a cold winter does not help. I have the same hot thing happening - I'm hot all the time regardless of the...
I phoned this morning, and my gp is working me in at 3:30. I don't really know what I expect of him. He'll do blood work and wait for the results. I only hope...
I thought someone would reply, but I will. T3 is broken down from T4. This process mostly happens in the liver, but is also coverted in the kidneys and...
In a message dated 1/4/05 11:47:33 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... Well, I don't know. I'm waiting to hear from the blood work, but I'm a bit scared at present....
T3 is one of the thyroid hormones - the most active one - it is essential for health. Normally the body breaks down T4 into T3 but with hypot this may not be...
Dear Becky, I hope this hard time will pass on to a better time for you very soon. Wish I had some advice or "cure", but of course do not. Sorry you're...
After 7 months of looking for my dose (I was a bit afraid and spent all summer at 2 1/2 grain as I couldn't believe I would need anymore), I found that 3 grain...
Chris, if push comes to shove, alternate your dose.... take 3 1/4 one day and 3 1/2 the next.... and see if that will get you the balance that you need. I've...
Thanks Linda. I take 2 grains when I go to bed at midnight. When I first started taking armour would take at wake and noon, but I couldn't get going until...
Just to throw this in the air, in case you want to play around with it..... taking glandulars (like Armour) sublingually gives more consistent dosing with less...
