Re: Introduction..... Help needed

[Guest guest]

Hi Martha:

Have you had your adrenals tested. Low temps usually mean low adrenal function. Don't despair, I felt like you do for 3 yrs. The past 6 months I have noticed a change for the better.

These are the supplements/meds that work for me. I take Armour, DHEA, Vit D, Iodoral, Multi-Vitamins, Vit C, Progesterone cream, Fish Oil, CoQ10.

You have to find what works for you. You will feel better when you figure out what you are deficient in and get your body what it needs. Then you will have the energy to exercise. It doesn't happen quickly though, but it does happen!

Good luck to you,

I thought low temps were hypothyroid and unstable temps were adrenal?

Hi, did anyone read or hear what OPrah said about thyroid and hunger

and the meds.

Apparently thyroid meds can make you feel hungry all the time.

I know I experienced that. The drs don't warn you.

Anyway, I am on Armour (t3 & T4) and am glad it helped me.

I am able to work and do things.

And I don't feel like everything is a hugh effort anymore.

ttyl,

Joan

Hi

i didn't know that Oprah said that the thyrodi meds made her more

hungry (do you have a link? i would love to read what she experienced

(and did she ever say what thyroid-Meds she was on?

i got hungrier on armour; i think because of my adrenal fatigue; tho

folks who are truly hypERthryoid , i believe, can be extra hungry as

well.

i tested as high cortisol (on saliva) and high aldosterone and renin,

and definitely got more munchies when adding armour. i think

cushing's patints (IE high cortisol patients) can be extra hungry as

well.
