Where my post go?

[Guest guest]

Wierd, I could have sworn I posted about this a few hours ago but it

hasn't come up, well I shall post it out of my journal.

I am also worried about something someone said on the other forum

about hormone pathways which Bob might be able to throw some light on,

I got this reply about my breast pain which is kinda out of the

thyroid treatment thing but...

''when dealin with hormonal night mare one feeds into the other

because people do not understand how metabolic pathways are

associated. If one preson starts to manipulate one pathway with cortef

and is on progesterone then they can actually cause an increase in

estrogen. The only way to measure this is to have a 24 hour urine

metabolite test done to check the metabolic pathways to see which ones

are blocked. You may also have an imbalance in the 2/4, 16 hyroxy

estrones causing this imbalnace. Some times giving cortef will raise

dhea and estrogen indirectly. IF this pathway is not working properly

then it converts into the cancer forming estrogens (16,4) resulting in

estrogen domaint like symptoms. I see this commonly in our HRT clinic

all the time people self medicating with out getting proper

evaluations done (saliva, urine, blood )for hormones. WE check all 3

because oen does not tell method does not tell the whole story,,,Plus

we take PPO insurance as well.''

Anyway my main question is about my Armour rise...

OM goodness, what a horrible night last night.

I took my overnight Armour dose, ended up having to stress dose with

hc after a couple of hours, the neck pains, the wierd head with the

pressure, the pains in the joints, the wierd head couldnt think

properly at all. Had to eat as blood sugar plummeted like a stone or

thats what it felt like anyway and the nausea and gas in the stomach

was awful. Why do I feel so rotton on a raise of armour? Is it my hc

dose? I thought 30mg was quite a high dose. I got up went to loo this

morning and my lovely son (who is not ugly lol) frightened the life

out of me he was in the hallway when I came out and I screamed and

trembled in terror, woke the whole house up, totally shocked I was at

my own reaction, so was he lol. But seriously it aint funny, so feeble

I was, so timid and obvioulsy slightly delutional.

Will drop back to 2 1/2 for a day and then try upping by 1/4 instead

of 1/2. My temp is back at 36.0 c this morning and that is over an

hour after rising, I am also sleepy on and off. I may need to lay down

soon.

The one thing that does have me really confuddled is that feeling of

someone gently pressing on the bridge of my nose and centre of my

forehead when I am low in cortisol, that is really wierd.

Anyway the neck is still a bit iffy today and don't feel overly well

even though I am much improved...zzzzzzzzzzzz but :sleepy1: :sleepy1:

Breaking out increasingly scabby on legs and arms especially. Have

seen this on my friend with Gulf war syndrome. Wierd stuff. Even my

scalp has little scabs in it. yukky.

Wonder if there is any other reason hc can make you feel better other

than a deficiency. I wonder how much the armour makes my body use in

all honesty.

Sorry for the long post, how long do you think I should leave it till

increasing again and what dose of hc would you recommend?

lotsa luv
