Re: Vitamin C and starting T3

[Guest guest]

Hi K:

It is my experience that with menopausal hormonal migraines, you will need

either bio-identical progesterone or bio-identical estradiol to stop them. In my

case, it was progesterone which stopped them in their tracks. I rub it on my

carotid artery and they stop within the hour. I've used progesterone ever since

and they have never returned. I don't believe the type of Vitamin C is going to

help one way or the other, but I would be interested in reading about that if

you have information on it.

cheers,

migraines? Or doesn't it make a difference?

This is best done under Dr Peatfield's guidance Konia. It is

quite likely he will want you to stop taking the Erfa Thyroid on one day,

because he believes you only need the active thyroid T3, and start the

synthetic T3-only the following day. Usually, you start at 25mcgs Liothyronine

(the UK prescription T3) or 20mcgs Cytomel (which you can buy from a reputable

Internet Pharmacy without prescription). It is recommended you take T3 split

into two doses throughout the day, often half first thing in the morning and

the other half in the middle of the afternoon. This is because T3 has a very

short half life of only 2 days in humans and the actual effect of T3 starts to

leave your system after 6 to 8 hours, so taking it in a split dose keeps the

engine running. If Dr P didn't tell you how to start, then give him a call on

Wednesday next and ask him how to do this.

Hi there,

I have been suffering from migraines on a regular basis since I became

menopausal. Should I be taking a citrus free type of Vitamin C to not trigger

migraines? Or doesn't it make a difference?

Also: I am about to go onto T3. Dr P. recommended (by letter) to reduce my erfa

intake to take T3. Do I immediately substitute some Erfa for T3 - or how do I

go about it?

Thank you for your help!

All the best

I substituted...yes just stopped one grain ERFA and then used 20mcgs T3 instead....then a little later on did the same again....stopped a sencond grain ERFA and increased T3 to 40mcgs...taken in two doses either end of the day...tried it again but I thinks 40mcgs was all I needed....just experiment....it wont harm you and if you feel hyper after 12-24hours your back to normal again....so dont worry.

It was Dr P who I spoke with about doing this and he agreed....and he also said experiment...but I had already been experimenting for some time....once you get to know how your body reacts to the supplement then you can fiddle around with it IF YOU NEED TO ...or at least I can fiddle with my own supplment and it works well for me!!!!

Magnesium WILL help with migraines.

I suffered for 33years.

DHEA rather than prgesterone cream AND good thyroid support AND magnesium and plenty of good old filtered tap water, has helped mine and dare I boast this fact...I havent experienced one for a while now.....used to get them 3-4 times weekly!!!! honestly.

Much love,
