If thyroid meds upset your system!

[Guest guest]

Hi Stephie

Yes, there have been members who have found it difficult to

take these hormones and supplements and I think most have eventually found the

problem that was stopping them getting benefit, but you would have to look

through the stories to see whether any of them have written up about this. If

anybody did find that when they first started treatment they appeared to be

intolerant of thyroid hormone replacement and adrenal supplementation, please

will you let us know how you overcame this and what you are taking now - or -

whether you are still having problems.

Hi Sheila,

I was wondering if you had any stories of people who had problems with

T4,T3,Nutri thyroid ect. Did they ever manage to take these things

eventualy? I know is sensitive to many meds if I remember

rightly. Dr P wants me to get the nutri adrenal and take more of it

than the NAX I have been taking. He is wondering if the B6 in it is

stopping me sleeping. Just seen GP today and he thinks I have

bronchitus, has given me an inhaler, no wonder I have felt so worn out.

Hi Sheila and Stephie

Unfortunately I'm one of those people who seem to be intolerant of

whatever I take! I've tried Nutri Adrenal, Nutri Thyroid, Cytomel,

Siberian ginseng, licorice, but I've had to stop them all. The only

things I've been able to take are Vitamins B, C, magnesium, zinc,

CoQ 10 and probiotics.

I'm waiting for results from further ASI and TTS tests.

Well, thank

goodness you can tolerate those - they are good supplements. We will

have to keep an eye on you and find out the reason you are unable to tolerate the

thyroid and adrenal meds. Did you test your ferritin and vitamin D?

Hi ie

Whilst I have not had this problem, I have read a number of posts in

the past of people who have and there has often been caused by (a)

fillers used in the meds ( Low ferritan - needs to be 50

preferably 70 and © adrenal issues.

There may be other causes, but those stand out as the most common that

I have read - all can be over come.

People with low ferritan report heart palps.

It was about 85 I think, ok. I'm about to test Vit Das I've been told I have to take it because I've just been diagnosed with osteopenia and I want a baseline before proceeding. Dr P is aware of my difficulties and I'm seeing him again early December when hopefully he'll help me find a way forward. Thanks Sheila x

Hi Stephie,

Look at the inhaler & see if it is a steroid. I think a lot/most are. Any improvement you feel on it may be due to the steroid effect. I find it weird that they GPs are happy to give out these willy nilly (I am not saying this is your case, but I did have a problem getting off of them myself when I was 16 & then had a job to breathe without them), but are often against giving out hc to those of use who need it.

Thanks Sheila and everyone for the messages re the above,

Don't think there is much danger of me getting addicted to the

inhaler. It is salbutamol by the way. Had one puff Friday night and

slept very well, 1am till 6.15pm and thought great. No coughing or

feeling my throat was collapsing.

However I have had the most violent headache all weekend and no pain

killers would shift it. Could be a coincidence as I did have headache

the previous weekend but not as crashing as this one. So apart from

useing the inhaler once more that was it.

Back to my nights of torture!!

My computer at home is playing up so had to wait to get to work to

reply. I think it is " coal driven " to coin blondie's words when she

was having trouble with her laptop.
