Guest guest Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Something similar happened to me. I woke up one morning feeling completely spaced out. I sat at my keyboard not knowing what it was for. I saw all the messages listed and didn't know what I was supposed to be doing with them. I opened one and wondered what it was for and I had no idea what was happening. It was the weirdest and most frightening time because I thought I was losing my mind. I did have palpitations, and feeling unreal. After a couple of days, I telephoned Dr Peatfield who told me to stop taking the Armour completely and to stay off it for a few days. That few days turned into 23 before symptoms of hypothyroidism started to come back, and I started back on Armour again at that time. During all that time, I continued to just take 3 Nutri Adrenal Extra and I felt absolutely wonderfully well. I believed that I might never need thyroid hormone replacement ever again…..but I did. It happened once again, but for the past 4 years, it has never come back. Luv - Sheila I was on Armour for about 10 years with some success, then when they changed their formula I switched to Naturethroid with similar success. Suddenly last January I had a sort of episode which the emergency doctor deemed a hyperthyroid episode. He did no blood tests at the time to confirm but his recommendation was to take no thyroid for a day at least, then cut my dose in half. Anyone have any idea what happened here? I think I was on T4/T3 for maybe 15 years. I am also low adrenal, been taking 12.5 mg cortisol for as long as the thyroid and the new guy bumped me up to 20mg before trying the T3. (I felt immediately better on the 20mg.) No virus found in this message.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 This happened to me one day when I was at my voluntary job, my wonderful boss never missed a beat. I sat in front of the computer and couldn't for the life of me remember how to switch it on. He calmly wrote a list of instructions as to how to switch on the computer and which documents he wanted me to work on!! It is scarey, I hope it never happens again!!

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wow to both of you. I would be absolutely terrified. I WAS terrified but it was not like that. I am thinking - it's funny how describing something in person or writing it down - makes to clarify things. I think that it may have been a hypoglemia episode. I think I've had periods of reactive hypoglycemia. This morning I kept eating things but nothing seemed to help so I decided it was something else. I'm not so sure now. And the palpitations were more a response to whatever was going on than part of it, if you know what I mean. I was on vacation and my regular doctor was very disappointed that blood was not drawn at the time. It did help when I stopped taking the thyroid, though. I went without for 8 months and then found a doc who put me on T3 only which I don't seem to have a problem with. Maybe sometimes we obsess too much trying to understand? I know I do, though mainly because the doctors always, always seem to automatically diagnose the 'most likely culprit' and then wait for us to prove them wrong. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my doctors - but it seems to be part of the breed that the way they find out what is wrong is to go down a long list of diagnoses starting with the most likely and working their way down - each new diagnosis coming ONLY when you've somehow managed to prove the first or last one wrong. And each new doc wants to start the process all over with - the likeliest culprit. I think in my case - in many of our cases - it's not the one thing or the other. > > This happened to me one day when I was at my voluntary job, my wonderful boss never missed a beat. > > I sat in front of the computer and couldn't for the life of me remember how to switch it on.
