Guest guest Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hi,Have a doc appt tomorrow. Do you know the proper way to dose Flournif? Is there a schedule to work on? Do you drop your HC?Also, my doc said Flournif is something you only take for a short while. Is this true?Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 2:41 PMTo: RT3_T3 Subject: Re: Val - your doc and RT3I'm on several forums, it was on one of them. I have talked to a pharmacist at Forest Pharm. (where armour is made). They say to dose by symptoms and not worry about labs. Forest's pharmacist told me the labs were made for T4 and they are not even sure about what labs on armour should look like. Armour makes the labs different. Cytomel labs are supposed to be very suppressed TSH, low Free T4, and high or over range Free T3. (per Val). Why not call a pharmacist at Glaxo Kline (the maker of Cytomel) like I called Forest Pharm. and ask them about what they think about Cytomel and Thyroid labs. Make sure you tell them you are on all T3, not mixing it with T4. If you like what they say, maybe you can sway your doc. Another option, you will suffer, is to not take, or reduce the T3 before labs, I have heard of others doing this to have "low" labs. First option is better! - > > > I just read today that[The entire original message is not included] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Florinef is not usually a temporary medicatin. Unless your adrenals heal enough to make their own aldosterone. It is usually atarted at 1/4 tablet and in 7-10 days raise another 1/4 tablet with usual dosew being 1 while tablet but some need more and a few need less than that. I would NOT lower HC exceopt if you get high cortilsl symoptoms whne starting it. -- 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 November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Yes and yes I am sure it can but it si all we have that have low aldosterone. Bioidentical aldosterone is cavailable but not covered by insurance and would cot abtou $700 a month. -- 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...
