Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hi sheila, feeling a bit better today-4th April- but still a bit giddy when I go to bed.taking ginkgo biloba and siberian ginseng this is for concentration um.folic acid-B12, selenium with vit A,C.E in one pill, progesterone cream and for my rheumatoidarthritis -glucosamine chondritin MSM which also has vit C in it.4 grains thyroid-S also I have some coQ10 which i was taking last month, but not sure if i need this one. think my adrenals may be fluctuating a bit. no tests sincethe 24 hour one back a year or two ago. took adrenal 80 half tab for 3 months ,then stopped felt better , but then took some more after a 3 month break.not taking any now. taking a whole adrenal 80 makes me feel a bit spacey.!thinking I need to get some tests done to find out what is behind the vertigo .can put up with almost anything but that! I see Dr P has a clinic at melvern,where abouts is this situated Sheila? It may be an option, or I may try to see Dr H in bristol. glad to see you all had a nice time at your meeting . lov angel. for Good helps you make a difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 One extra point about the Co-Enzyme Q10. I had my blood levels tested so I could discover whether I was actually low in CoQ10. The capsules are so darn expensive that I wanted to make sure that I actually needed them, plus I didn't want to supplement with another thing if my body was producing it naturally at a good level. The test results came back as quite low (outside ref range), so I started supplementing with 100mg of CoQ10 each day/every couple of days on an ongoing basis. Four months later I had the test done again and the levels were almost double the upper limit of the reference range. I felt absolutely fine, but I stopped taking the CoQ10 for a while. > > Most hypothyroids need to take a good dose of CoEnzymeQ10 Judith. This enzyme diminishes as we get older and is very important. Not sure what could be causing your dizziness Judith. You could contact Jane who runs the Malvern Clinic on 01684 894987 to see if you could get into Dhttp://www.mercurymadness.org/'s next clinic there. > > Luv - Sheila > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I had my blood levels > tested so I could discover whether I was actually low in CoQ10. Did you them privately or through the NHS. Dr P has just put me on 30 mg of CoQ10 but I am not sure why. Maybe a precaution or does someone else know better. Thanks. luv Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 CoEnzyme Q10 is www.iherb.com . I doubt you will do better anywhere. Thanks Sheila. Which one of all the many pots would you recommend on the site? I bought the Nutri CoQ-10 ST 30 (20 mg E and 30 mg CoQ10) at £29.95 retail for 60 capsules at Dr P's recommendation. I would like a cheaper alternative too. I still don't understand why I am taking it ..... luv Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I think that 30mg of CoEnzymeQ10 is just a maintenance dose, but it insufficient for hypothyroid sufferers who will probably find they have a very low reading. Thanks Sheila. Dr P put on my form 30 mg. How can I get the level tested? luv Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Keri Dr P told me to take CoQ10 because it helped support the adrenals. I didn't know about all the other benefits til I read about them on here. I also take 30 mg. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 If you have high BP and high cholesterol, then you need about 300 mgs or even more. If you are using it as replacement, I would certainly get at least the 100 mgs tablets. Read the literature available that I sent to so you understand the need for this medication Keri. luv - Sheila CoEnzyme Q10 is www.iherb.com . I doubt you will do better anywhere.Thanks Sheila.

Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Hi, can I just mention that if you are living in the UK, you have just finished a long winter and I am wondering if you have a VitD3 problem. Especially when you mentioned that you experience this each year. Check out the info on VitD3 (which is a hormone) and the Vit D website is great. www.vitamindcouncil.org I would especially draw your attention to this if you are experiencing aches and pains and depression jenny freeman > > Hi all, not feeling to good this past two weeks, pretty sure its those > darned autoantibodies again. seem to have a bad time this time of year > and again in sept/oct.getting vertigo and now head like a soup bowl. > with heavy feeling in the forehead. took another 100mg of selenium > this morning > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 > > HI Keri and > > Have a look at these links. These should explain to you why you need CoEnzyme Q10 Cor Sheila! It's like a wonder pill! I had no idea it could do all that. Thanks for the links. Sorry to take so long to reply. Just moved house - what a palaver! Was worried how the old adrenals would cope but seem to have done ok, give or take a few wobbles. Been offline for two weeks apart from a couple of brief visits to the computer in the library, so am just catching up. Am preparing now to do all the tests - again! - before seeing Dr P in June. Absolutely must get to the bottom of what's going on. For financial reasons I've had to hold back for a few months. Quite disheartening when you're desperate to get well. But it's all systems go now, so fingers crossed! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 > >Glad to have you back online - and I hope you get your >problems sorted soon. When do you see Dr Peatfield - is this the >beginning or the end of June? I see him June 8th at Castle Donnington. The idea is that I have all the tests results with me and hopefully, seen as a whole, they might shed some light on why I'm stuck and point to a way forwards. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
