Thanks Lillian

I am very skint but if it will help I am sure we could miss out

something. If it doesn't show hyopoglycaemia though that may be a

problem as i don't think I have symptoms of high blood sugar unless I

am missing something.

I would be very interested in doing this and i will check out the

prices of the sticks tomorrow.

Thanks so much for that valuable info, it would be good to be able to

find something out for myself and not have to ask the doc lol.

God bless hon

Hi Dawn

I think hypo=glycaemia would mean " low blood sugar " .

Thanks for this ladies, this is all such a revelation to me. I did

have a weird do as I say and was confused before I went onto armour

before I started boosting my adrenals when I came home and then I went

on armour, I think it is getting worse though. I found a great flyer

that this super research guy in Australia wrote, you can find it here

if you are interested He suggests glycerine as an emergency relief

which could be useful for some people taking armour I feel who are

suffering these symptoms.

Thanks for that info Lilian. I'm learning all the time.

I have also wondered this and this is one of the reasons that many of us, when we are needing to increase our thyroid hormone replacement (synthetic or natural) need to take extra adrenal supplements to get us over the increase and help our body to cope.

Hi folks

Well I consulted with an expert on hypoglycema and he gave me a link

to this set letter which I am going to send to the doctor.

I will post it here in case it is useful to some other people....

The four hour medical Test for Hypoglycemia explained at:

http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/testing_hypoglycemia.html

There is a letter attached to that article. Copy it and give it to

your doctor. If the doctor is not willing, please ask to be referred

to a Nutritional Doctor or a Clinical Nutritionist.

See:

Looking for Complementary Health Practititioners at:

http://curezone.com/upload/PDF/Articles/jurplesman/Looking_for_Doctors.pdf

Having a thyroid problem needs to be handled by a Nutritional Doctor

and by medication. You can take your temperature in the morning before

getting out of bed to monitor your metabolic rate and check the

effects of your medication.

It is explained in the article:

What is Hypoglycemia at:

http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/what_is_hypo.html

see type 4 hypoglycemia.

Also test yourself with the

The Nutrition-Behavior Inventory Questionnaire (NBI) at:

http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/nutrition-behavior_inventory.html

and the

The Hypo Quizz at:

http://www.hypoglycemia.org/hypo_test.asp

Also read:

Beating Anxietiy and Phobias at:

http://www.hypoglycemia.asn.au/articles/beating_anxiety.html

luv Dawnx

[Guest guest]

Wow now this is what I call very timely.......... Thank you so much

for posting this info....

I saw my Dr today and she thinks I may be hypoglycemic and so

tomorrow I am off to get the GTT done. I dread to think how much

this is going to cost I just hope the insurance pays most of

it...............

Thanks Bob, thanks Shiela

That paper is fascinating because years ago when I was suffering

symptoms before the computer I had a full set of 'health encyclopedia'

cards and I used to think I had similar symptoms to beriberi but also

thought nahhhhh lol.

Yes it is a shock Shiela, I hope I am wrong about what I saw on the

notes, but it looks clear enough . I may try and get an independant

advocate to take notes as my mum will chat constantly bless her, and

my men don't write very quickly despite their quick minds. I wish you

could be with me too Shiela.

I may be able to get my son to take notes on the computer as he is a

mean typist, I shall think on it.

Thanks again for all the help and support here.

Luv n stuff

OH sorry also if I did not make it clear, I was still on Thyroxine but

not yet on Armour when those tests were done.

I would imagine we would come to the same conclusion as someone not on

thyroid treatment though

lotsa luv

Hi Dawn,

This is a revelation.

http://www.springerlink.com/content/563g7112gn6u8407/

Thyrotoxicosis Associated Wernicke's Encephalopathy

DOI 10.1007/s11606-007-0438-3

Bonucchi(1) , Ihab Hassan(1), Bruno Policeni(2) and Kaboli

(1,3)

you must ask to be tested, very specifically, for B1 deficiency

and maybe an MRI scan too.

best wishes

Bob
