Re: Acne and bruising

[Guest guest]

It sounds as if you

could well be suffering with one of the many associated conditions that go

along with being hypothyroid, Please read the attached document thoroughly and

if there is anything you don't understand, just should and somebody will be

along to offer an explanation or some answers. These are conditions that must

be treated before thyroid hormone can be properly utilised at the cellular

level.

Also, please ask

your GP to test your levels of vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc,

because like low ferritin and low vitamin B12 levels, any that are low need to

be supplemented before the thyroid hormone can be fully utilised. Your ferritin

level is very low - it should be between 70 and 90 for you to feel good, and

your B12 is also very low. A B12 result should be right at the top of the

reference range, and this is usually around 175 to 850. You need to start on

sublingual B12 (Solgar is good) 1000mcgs daily. If you can't tolerate Ferrous

Sulphate, you should think about taking another iron supplement because if you

are not boosting your ferritin level, you are going to continue to feel pretty

awful. You should also be taking at least 4/5000mgs vitamin C along with the

iron supplement. You should be eating foods very high in iron. You must always

take iron and calcium at least 4 hours away from your thyroid hormone

replacement.

Thyroid Complex is

not really likely to work any better than your T3 if you are suffering from any

of these associated conditions until they have been properly treated.

You may need to get

tested for low adrenal reserve and systemic candidiasis by Genova Diagnostics.

Again, check in our FILES section under ;'Discounts on Tests and Supplements'

to order any test from Genova and if you tell them Thyroid Patient Advocacy is

your practitioner, you will get a good discount on each of the tests you need.

Thank you for the advice Shiela.

I will get my iron levels up I am now taking Spatone which seems to be better

tolerated. I will give the solgar a go to raise my B12. How long does it take to

get all these levels up roughly if you do all the right things ?

Another thing is my mind seems to be really slow, i cant seem to logically think

straight like i used to and my memory is pretty bad only since my throid has

been removed. Why is this is this low vit B or related to thyroid ?

Thanks again :-)

It is a difficult question as we are all individuals and one

size does not fit everybody. You must need to get settled into a good routine

and be sure to do everything you can to get your iron levels up. You should

take high dose vitamin C (4/5000mgs) daily to help with absorption of iron.

Also, check out all the foods that are really high in iron. Here is a good long

list for you to choose from http://www.buzzle.com/articles/iron-rich-foods-list-of-foods-high-in-iron.html

Brain fog and short term memory is a symptom of hypothyroidism that

will get better once your thyroid hormone problem has been sorted. My brain was

one of the first things I regained when I started natural thyroid extract after

the synthetic levothyroxine did nothing for me.
