Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Alison when are you having the test? or planning on doing it, i suppose is the correct question do you think the erfa may not be agreeing with you? correct me if im wrong but weren't you offered t4 initially? did that help at all? i see you've posted this question a couple of times now, i'm sorry no one has got back to you. i don't really know the ansewr to your question, as i'm not familiar with NAX (didn't agree with me) i hope someone more knowledgable on this subject will reply to you soon. mind you, i've just done a search on the archives for you and Sheila said be off NAX two weeks before saliva test: thyroid treatment/message/73800 " You need to stop your NAX for a couple of weeks before you do the 24 hour saliva adrenal profile or you will get flawed results. " maybe that is your answer? did you do an adrenal test before starting NAX? chris > > Hi everyone i am going to order a adrenal test from genova, i have been on erfa > for around 3-4 weeks and taking half grain in morning and half grain around 1-2 > and taking it the way i was told to take it in the files section and taking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi Alison: I would start on 400 mgs of magnesium as soon as possible and it will help a great deal if you are taking 1/2 teaspoon of celtic sea salt at least 3 times a day. First thing in the morning when you wake up, every day, once around 11 am and then again at 2 pm. Adrenals must have salt to work properly and it will give you a boost. You'll be able to feel it almost immediately. Cheers, JOT to walk and i feel really old (iam 35) some days i will get mild chest pain > around my heart especailly when i take a deep breath which is not worrying but i > know my body is struggling. I feel really heavy when i wake up and a bit shaky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 Hi chris yes i was offered T4 but wanted to try natural meds due to several family members on it and still having symptoms, i had this pain long before starting my meds last year a mild angina type pain, i am going to ask for an iron test when i see my doctor because i do get out of breath.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 > > Hi everyone i am going to order a adrenal test from genova, i have been on erfa Hi Alison, With regard to the chest pain - I had that quite a bit when I was first given T4. With hindsight - I think it was caused mainly by low Ferritin, although the adrenals had some part in it. My Ferritin level was 40 and wasn't flagged by the NHS lab (what do they know!) and yet my level should have been at least 90 to enable the thyroid hormones to do their job. Might be an idea to get it checked. Hope you soon feel better. Luv, Anne xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Thanks all for the replies, can i buy celtic sea salt from health shops? Does it have to be refined or a particular one so i can take it sooner, i have got some magnesium and going to try that. Ive been a bit poorly today around 3-6pm felt really tired and slow and my neck (thyroid area) is sore to touch, swallow and when i move around, i am hoping it may be just a viral as my family have had colds and coughs recently. Still getting mild pain in heart region twice today when i am sitting love Ali Really appreciate everyone's help.X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
