Dr P told me less Armour/NDT may be needed in warmer weather. Dr P, who uses NDT himself, decreases his dosage in the summer.So, maybe you could try taking this...see if you feel any better.Sent using BlackBerry® from OrangeFrom: "eno_67" <eno_67@...>

Subject: Armour Thyroid in tropical countries

Hi,

I am an old member known as Eno. My name is Sadhana.

After having had treatment in the UK I went to South America.

My very positive experience with Armour thyroid has changed.

In the UK it felt so good, now there is so much inner heat.

That's why I have to stay in air conditioned rooms if I want to do anything.

Is there anyone in a tropical country who has the same problem?

Is there anyone who knows someone with the same problem?

I don't have internet at home, so I will be back next week.

Thank you!

Hi Sadhana, I am sorry to hear that you are stiff suffering with

the heat. I know that you tell me you keep your thyroid medication in the

fridge, but I wonder if, at any time, your electricity was cut off or you left your

Armour out accidentally at some time and your tablets may have degraded and

this is what is actually affecting you. Just a thought. Have a look at this

link http://thyroid.about.com/od/thyroiddrugstreatments/a/drugsinsummer.htm

You might try raising your Nutri Adrenal Extra as your heat

intolerance could be because your adrenals are not able to cope as they should.

Also, heat intolerance may be a symptom of under-treated hypothyroidism and can

also be related to perimenopause. Have you considered trying the experiment of

increasing/decreasing your thyroid extract by half a grain to see if that helps

Sadhana?

As you have been suffering from this for so long, have you asked

your doctor to find if there is some other underlying cause that needs

treating.

Luv - Sheila

Hi Sheila,

Thank you very much for the link and advice. I have not accidentally left out

my Armour Thyroid outside of the fridge. I'm very cautious with my medication.

I did raise my NAE from 1 to 2 as I felt 2 weeks ago that I needed it because

I'm stressed by the weather. But I started to have with the heat and Armour

Thyroid about 3 months after I entered Suriname. And it's 3 yeras now. I'm in

the peri-menopause, that's true. I think it adds to it, but the heat from

Armour Thyroid is the main cause... (I guess...)

I don't have an endocrinologist here.

Luv, Sadhana x
