Re: 's update and question

[Guest guest]

hi

i don't know how old your dr is or what kind of Thyroid hormone(s)

she is on..

but dizzyiness was one of my first symptoms. and it got much worse

when i started taking armour again (after decades of synthroid-

T4only)

for me, the dizziness was caused by my longterm adrenal fatigue

problem (currently testing as High cortisol).

i also have tinnitus and dr said " fluid in the middle ear.

i believe my aldosterone levels (another adrenal hormone) has

contributed in some way to this problem tho Note: i have never had

my levels tested.

my dizziness has gotten Much better (even tho i am still slowly

adding armour/decreasing synthroid)

and my other adrenal signs have gotten better as well

--but not my tinnitus,, which somehow may be related to

food/allergies As well as the underlying autoimmune hypot.

have you ever done the 24hr cortisol test?

Carol,

My daughter is 7. She is taking

L-thyroxine/liothyronine(9.5mcg/2.25mcg) for a little more than 1

month now.

Her dizziness was much worse/and she had headaches too before

diagnoses. The dizziness improved and almost completely went away for

2 weeks when she first started meds. Now it has worsened to almost

most of the day...but the dizziness isn't too severe to impair her in

play or activities...not like before diagnoses..

I talked to her doc...he sugggested that the dizziness might be

because of such a big change(a quick drop) in her tsh just in one

month could cause the dizziness. We are giving her less meds. for now

to see if it helps.

Hi ,

It seems to me if your dd had awful fainting then was put on

compounded t3/t4 and it improved for a couple of weeks and now is

coming back more meds would help. I know doc's take it real slow so

not to shock the body etc. Your dd may improve with increased doses

and may have to wait it out until it can be increased. When I was

put on Armour I felt great for about three weeks and then started

feeling bad again. Eventually with slow increases I felt better and

stayed that way for longer periods of time until I finally found the

right dose.

In my case gluten blocked the Armour from being effective even at

extremely high doses and only felt real improvement after I started

eating gluten-free. It's a little inconvenient, but if you eat more

natural you get used to it, especially if you feel the difference.

Hope she keeps improving.
