RE: Re: adrenal fatigue success stories anyone?

Gemma, are you positive you don't have any of the other

conditions associated with symptoms of hypothyroidism, e.g. systemic

candidiasis, mercury poisoning caused through amalgam fillings, low levels of

ferritin, vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper or zinc. Ask your

GP to test these minerals and vitamins to see whether any are low in the

reference range. If they are no amount of thyroid hormone (not even your

own) can be fully utilised at the cellular level, and you will remain feeling

awful until they are fully supplemented.

I have yet to properly support my thyroid as of writing this, as it hasn't

responded to Nutri Thyroid very much, and I am waiting on some stronger

medicine.

I have deficiencies or low 'normals' in:

ferritin, vit d, calcium, magnesium and zinc. I'm taking blue bonnett iron with

vit c and my haemoglobin's now normal but my ferritin's stool too low.

How much blue bonnett iron are you taking and how much vitamin

C. What was the last ferritin result.

I'm now on 2NAX a day and 2.5ml evotrox (25mcg

levo). I've just started back on the evotrox, so don't yet know if I'll

tolerate that amount.

I've struggled with candida in the past, but that was sorted, though I wonder

if I should take an antifungal as I do get thrush flare ups.

It might be an idea to check to see whether you have candida

antibodies by doing the Genova test if you can afford to do this Sue. Check our

FILES section under 'Discounts on Tests and Supplements' and you can see you

can get a discount from Genova by being a TPA member. You need to tell Genova

that Thyroid Patient Advocacy is your Practitioner, but they will send the test

results direct to you. If you do have candida, you may need to start taking

antifungals and go onto a strict candida diet in order to get this cleared up.

Thyroid hormone cannot be absorbed in the cells if you are suffering with

candida.

I've done York food testing recently and have

various other intolerances, so am coming to terms with that. It's a struggle

what with being coeliac and hypoglycemic as well, as it pretty much means I

have to make everything from scratch, which is hard work when I feel so rubbish

and have 2 young kids to look after.

Yes, you are complicated but we will take baby steps, just one

at a time and hopefully get you sorted.
