Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Yes it sure sounds liek the HC is getting the T3 to the cells better as I think that is the only way it could releive fluid retention. Have you tried sea salt for the fluid? It really helped me. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 >Thanks for the quick reply Val. I just started salt loading 3 days ago due to these nasty cyst like acne creatures on my face, armpits, inside my ears and nostrils. They are painful and ugly. I am wondering if it is iodine detox effect happening so I read up in the iodine forum regarding that problem. I use to take sea salt before when I was healing my adrenals and got away from it. Nobody said this was going to be easy but it sure is worth it. The last piece of the puzzle is my RT3 test and I am actually excited to get the results. Naturopathic doc I found in Toronto is a real gem and he'll give me the Cytomel for sure. But I'm just curious, does anybody on this board order their Cytomel from Mexico and do you have problems at the border into Canada? > Yes it sure sounds liek the HC is getting the T3 to the cells better as > I think that is the only way it could releive fluid retention.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ok Val I've got my Cytomel from the doc. How do I switch from 180 mg of Armour to all Cytomel. I've been off Cortef for 2 months now and temps are steady at 98.5. But I've been reading I should watch them when switching over right?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Val, I got a question. On this note you mention that she should split her T3 dose. I am sure you didn't mean this, but on mine you did not say split it. So the first week I took 25mcg instead of my Armour....had to quit Armour altogether because of how bad I felt. But last week I added another 25mcg to my noon dose of HC. I planned on adding 25mcg next week as I was on 3 grains of Armour....should I split that and work it up or what????I'm not upset I'm sure it was an oversite on your part...but concerned about me as I do not want to goof up anymore than I probably already have....I am feeling pretty good though, really stronger now and my tooth is not bothering me so much either. Any suggestions????? Oh my temps are still up around 98.6 or up I feel it was my tooth possibly doing it.. Love you > Yes the T3 may be more stressful to your adrenals.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Hi Val I'm on week 2. 1 grain of armour and 50 mcg T3 divided to 4 doses daily. So far so good, temps are holding steady at 98.5. Do I still need to supplement with Iodine when switching to all cytomel. Here is a list of my supplements. Do you see any changes I should make? B12-1000 mcgdaily B complex 50 mg X 2 Magnesium 150 mg X 2 Vit C 100o mg X 4 Pantothenic Acid 250 mg Selenium 90 200 mcg Vit D 1000 IU 2 drops of Lugol's 5 X a week 1 Ml of testosterone daily 1 Ml of progesterone x 2 Will I have to stay on all these supplements when I'm on all T3? Is all this still necessary? Just trying to make my life simplier Thanks >> Yes the T3 may be more stressful to your adrenals.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Thanks Val I stopped taking the iodine 3 days ago to see if I would notice a difference. All I noticed is that the acne like cysts on my face disappeared. I'm going to stop taking the support vitamins to see if I notice a difference. The magnesium, why do I need to increase it and to what dose? Thanks Val In the 18 months I've been following you, you have a perfect record in the advice you've given me, just wanted you to know I really appreciate your open mind and the random acts of kindness you perform everyday.>> Just my personal opinion but i dont; feel anyone oin an adequate thyroid > dose needs iodine as thye are gettign ALOT in the thy5roid meds.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Val, How long does it normally take for the T4 to clear out? I'm on day 10 of 75 mcg of Cytomel. Temps are still steady at 98.6 average. I'm getting really anxious to get this weight off for the spring, like 40 pounds worth of hypo fluid weight. So far I have noticed my hair has stopped falling out and my eyebrows are returning. Skin looks healthier and not so blotchy. Will weight loss be in the cards for me or not? I don't want to build up hope and be disappointed like I was with the switch from Syncrap to Armour. Thanks, Jill> >> > Yes the T3 may be more stressful to your adrenals.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I have been on all organic, very low carb, high protein diet for 1 year now. And I exercise too. It's very discouraging when the scales go up instead of down. Dr. did a BMI test on me and confirmed it's fluid not fat, sigh, maybe I'm just going to have to learn to live with this water retention. >> No one can guarantee weight loss.
