Re: Advice please on old symptoms re-occuring after feeling improved.

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina

Do i understand right that you were feeling better on 6nax, and 4 grains of NDT

a day, but then stopped the NAX in order to do an adrenal test, and now feel

worse?

Or is it that you were on the above, and started to feel worse before you

stopped NAX?

wavering temps are supposed to be adrenal symptoms aren't they - the tooth

extraction sounded quite bad too, and if you've stopped NAX too, then that might

all point to adrenal?

i may have missed something but why are you doing an adrenal test now?

H Tina, I am so sorry to hear of your predicament, but it could

be solely down to the nasty tooth extraction. However, whilst you are stopping

the Nutri Adrenal Extra, carry on taking high doses of vitamin C and your

natural desiccated thyroid. Ask your GP to test your levels of ferritin,

vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate, copper and zinc because if any of

these are low in the reference range, no amount of thyroid hormone can be

properly utilised at the cellular level and you will get symptoms of thyroid

toxicity until whatever you are low in has been supplemented. When the results

are back from the laboratory, ask for these, together with the reference range

for each of the tests done, and post them here on the forum so we can help with

their interpretation.

Is there any possibility you could be suffering with systemic

candidiasis or could you have mercury poisoning caused through amalgam

fillings? Two more problems that would stop your thyroid hormone suddenly from

working. Check out the attached document and go through this with a fine tooth

comb.

As you got up to 6 NAE daily, it could be that these are not

enough to boost your adrenals and you may need to go on a course of

hydrocortisone, but we will wait and see what results come back from Genova before

going down that road. When you send in your samples to Genova, do tell them

that you have been taking 6 NAE daily and exactly how long you stopped the

tablets before doing the 24 hour saliva test in case this helps with their

interpretation of your results.

After getting worse over a period of 3 years on Levothyroxine from the GP and

no hope of any other treatment I read Dr P's book found this site,and decided

to take matters into my own hands whilst waiting for an appointment with Dr P.

All well and good, he told me to keep doing what I was doing with regard to

vits and minerals. As I had sluggish adrenals was put on NAX for a while before

prpogressing with NDT.

I was making a slow and fair improvement, not feeling quite 100%, but Rome was

not built in a day. However, in the past couple of weeks I have been feeling as

the adrenal symptoms have been coming back with a vengence.

My temperature from being within a couple of points of being normal has

plummited to as low as 35.2, I've never had it as low as that before.

I was on up to 4 grains of NDT and up to 6 NAX tablets depending on what sort

of day it was. I have now stopped the NAX as I am awaiting a Genova adrenal

kit. I will also be aranging a phone appointment with

Dr P.

I am also taking my temp 4 times a day as per the adrenal info.Temp ranges from

35.2 - 37.0 in 3 hours ???

Hi Shiela,

Thankyou for your prompt reply.

With regard to the list of vits and minerals mentions, I have been

supplementing with them for at least 5 months. Taking 4mgs of vit C

sublingual Jarrow B12, and all of the others, along with adaptogens and the NAX.

I will endevour to get a blood test done, but last time I couldn't even get to

see an Endo, hence the visit to Dr P, although I am glad of the visit as he gave

me faith that there are still a few doctors out there who care about the patient

and put them first.

I had a candida test at Genova and it came back positive for IgA

so I embarked on a course of Flucozanole, that was interupted by the tooth thing

and I started again afterwards. The thing is, I felt a lot better before the

candida treatment, so I don't think the candida is the cause in this case.

Please advise if you think differently.

I did have a deep amalgum filing removed as part of the extraction.

If this has contributed to the problems, how long does it go on for?

I was physically shaking afterwards, and believe me I am not in the habit of

doing that. I have had petrol bombs thrown at me in the past without turning a

hair!

I have been Gluten free and as I am on the consolidation part of the

HCG diet. I am processed sugar free. only eating the fruits allowed.

I will inform Genova of the circumstances as you advise.

Once again thankyou for your help.

Kindest regards,

Tina.
