It costs $23.95 and contains almost everything you need to > know at the beginning. ****This is one opinion. My opinion of the most informative books for gaining better control is Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution ( K. Bernstein) and Protein Power (the Doctors Eades). A lot of us on this list have had excellent success by lowering our carbohydrate intake, which works well for me, personally. Since it's the carbohydrates that spike my blood glucose (bg's), if I don't eat so many, my bg's remain in better control.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Im new, I belong to just about every other group as far as thyroid and adrenals are concerned. I was wondering, How do you get rid of your Reverse T3, and how do you properly convert t3 into t4 if your body cannot do it on its own? I've thought about selenium, but isnt it good to get your level checked before starting ANY supplement, now a days? Opinions, please... Thank you.

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 The onyl way I know of to rid of RT3 when it is high is to go on a TSH supressive dose of T3 only and get cortisol issues straightened out. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 My AS husband used to start out okay on a trip and then turn snarly. One year we had been driving about a day or so and he started that. I told him that this was my vacation too and that if he was going to be that way this would be our last vacation together. He snapped right out of it and hasn't done it since.  Somewhere along the line we decided that when we are on vacation, we both get to do what we want to do. Mine also doesn't like to have it all planned out, which I had been used to. Maybe that put too much pressure on him to perform. So we do just about everything spontaneously and it works out. I have to speak up if I want to do something and if he doesn't want to, I can choose to do it without him and he finds other ways to occupy himself.  With family, my husband doesn't hang around much until it is almost to the end of their visit, and then he has great ideas for us all to do together. Unfortunately, by then everyone is tired. I guess I also know what he can tolerate and avoid touchy situations, if possible. The fact that he can leave makes it easier for him, too. My relatives will ask where he is, but I usually don't know. They have gotten used to that. He also seems more engaging when he is free to roam around and get away whenever he wants to.  He misinterprets what visitors say or their motivations and will give me his hypotheses in private, for the most part. That drives me nuts because they seem so outlandish. But sometimes he turns out to be right! I try to let it roll off of me and will ask him not to say anything about it to the others. The next day he can have a completely different take on things.  Subject: Newbie To: aspires-relationships Date: Wednesday, July 13, 2011, 10:22 PM  Hi all! I'm Janet and have an Aspy hubby. When it's just to two of us life is smooth, for the most part. We work well since I am a highly creative type that likes solace. The males in my family are hermits and I share their tendencies. So my DH does his thing and I do mine under the same roof and we spend pretty great weekends together. The problem: Guests and Vacations! ARGHHHH...we just left Maui and I could have pushed him off a cliff. They are not vacations, instead it's military boot camp! Anyone else suffer vacation hatred too? Every moment planned, early to rise, must try all activities (even with my physical limits), and his behavior is awful. Next problem is when guests visit. I have finally given up only inviting my parents and sister to visit. I go to a restaurant or my friend's homes to see them. When my folks visit he becomes Lord and Master of the Home. Nothing is right, someone put the mayo on the wrong fridge shelf, my mom is breathing too loudly, yeesh, give me a little break! To be fair, he acts the exactly same way when his parents visit too. We have been married 10 years and he has treated me wonderfully for the most part, but has anyone fixed the vacation problem??? I have a degree in neuropsychology so I knew on our first blind date that he was an Aspy...so I was prepared (somewhat, LOL) All advice, tips, sympathy are welcome!
