RE: Advice for sister

[Guest guest]

Hi Georgie

It wouldn't harm her to try a course of Nutri Adrenal Extra. You

can get a discount of 33% from Nutri Ltd by being a TPA member. Go to our FILES

and check out 'Discounts on Tests and Supplements' and open the Nutri Ltd.

document and follow the instructions from there, quoting the TPA reference

number. You will receive them the day after placing your order. When the order

arrives, she should take one tablet with her breakfast with high dose Vitamin C

to help with absorption. After 10 days, add another tablet with her lunch, but

she should not take any after 1.00p.m. or she might be kept awake. After

another 10 days to 2 weeks, if she feels it necessary, she can add another

tablet with her breakfast, and after the same period of time, add another

tablet with her lunch. She can take up to 6 tablets daily, but if she needs

that many, this is usually an indication she may need a course of

hydrocortisone.

Ask her to check out the three Medical Questionnaires - again in

our FILES section and answer all the questions re Adrenals, magnesium and

Candida and let us know how she scores.

Ask her also to check out her temperature for 4 or 5 mornings

before she gets out of bed. If they are less than 36.6 C or 97.8F, this is an

indication she is suffering with hypothyroidism. Ask her also to find out

exactly WHAT her thyroid function test results were. She needs the actual

figure and the reference range. She should also have been tested to see whether

she has thyroid antibodies, especially as there is hypothyroidism in the family

and she has coeliac disease. Do you have Hashimoto's disease and are there any

other members in your family with a thyroid or autoimmune disease?

Wait until she gets her results (a doctor cannot withhold any of

the information that is in her medical notes) and then we can take it from

there, but it would be a good idea if she could get her levels of ferritin,

vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc checked. See the

connection between these and the symptoms of hypothyroidism in the attached

document.

In the meantime, can anyone suggest anything that would help with the anxiety

she is experiencing? The GP has been trying to put her on beta blockers and

anti-depressants for years. I also had years of anxiety attacks and constant

anxiety for years before I was diagnosed hypo. I'm sure there is a connection,

perhaps adrenal. But is there anything she can do NOW to help her? Like

vitamins, something she can buy over the counter that might help?

Thanks Sheila and Nadia,

Yes I have Hashimoto's and I think it runs in the family. I have told her to get

her results from the doctors and will tell her to ask for the antibody test.

Unfortunately, she has the same GP as me, and she is useless. My sister already

asked GP for the full results and the GP said 'everything is normal, we tested

the whole thyroid and it's all fine, so that's ruled out.' Anyway, I've told her

to get the print-out asap.

Thanks for the suggestion of NAX. I will pass that on, and get her to do the

questionnaires as well. I already told her to start taking her temperature.

Nadia, I'm sorry you had to go through all of that. I have a similar story

myself. Doctors cause so much harm with their deadly ignorance/arrogance

combination! Hope you're feeling okay now.

Thanks for all your help,

Georgie

was put on prozac for a not insignificant length of time before I was properly

diagnosed with Hashimoto's (autoimmune condition that affect the thyroid and

makes you hypo eventually). > >
