Week 2 of treatment

[Guest guest]

I posted in December (different e-mail address). After an

unsatisfactory discussion with my doctor ( " nothing wrong " with me

and refused referral or any more blood tests)I decided to take the

plunge.

My TSH was 3.07, against max 3.3, no info on anything else. I took 2

Nutri Adrenal and Vitamin C from mid December each morning right

through festive season until I'd recovered from all flu and cold

symptoms. Last week I added 1/2 grain Armour in 2 doses, then up to

1 grain in 2 doses after a week. Improved my diet a bit to add more

veggies and added multi-mineral supplement. And by Day 9 I'm

beginning to feel better, if a long way from perfect!!!!8-)).

I don't feel so bad in the morning

The brain fog is lifting a bit

Don't need chocolate M & Ms mid afternoon

Even digestion feels better

The menopausal insomnia is still there, but I'm not so AWAKE (yu

have to have experienced this to know).

I didn't put on the usual weight over Christmas (no idea why)

And someone complimented me today on how good I'm looking (Why was

my first reaction " she must be mad " !!?).

I know there's a long way to go, but nothing will prevent me

following this through, although I'm not going to rush the dose up.

Anyway there's much more but I wanted to say a great big " THANK YOU "

for you brave people, your help and the sense of HOPE from one

exhausted, fat, menopausal, frazzled, foggy-brained individual.

I wanted to add too that I contacted Dr Peden (who is on the list of

Doctors Who Do and the only contact shown in Scotland) by e-mail and

he has not replied. So if anyone knows of other endos in Scotland

I'd appreciate info, (is there not a list somewhere???) but at the

moment I'm doing fine without.

Happy new year to all,

Best regards,

Helen
