Guest guest Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 is that an oral temperature? should i keep the covers on or take them off first? i'm usually chilly going to bed but quite warm in the morning from all the layers. if i'm low for several days, what then? is there another (medically accepted/blood) test? i already see an endocrinologist for a slightly enlarged thyroid. i've had issues recently where the inflammation is bothering me, and i was being watched for possible developing hashimoto's even though my numbers are still within limits. right now, with the inflammation, they're slightly hyper but not enough that it should be producing any symptoms. thanks! sarah thanks! sarah > > > > i do have fibromyalgia (diagnosed in 2001) and i do exercise those joints. i deliver newspapers every week and have to throw about 1000 from both sides of the car while driving. i also do lifting at home. i'm a sahm/wahm to a homeschooling 4.5 year old. i definitely don't sit as much as i used to at the office. ;-) > > > > thanks! > > > > sarah > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I second what wrote. Here is an addition, iodine. I take a thyorid glandular that is working well for me, by Nutri Meds. http://www.fibromyalgiarecovery.com/Putting%20The%20Pieces%20Together.pdf www.naturalthyroidchoices.com Are you eating many fruits? I don't know enough about the Paleo diet to know if fruits are considered good. I think a Paleo diet that pretends you live in the tropics is the best. Ray Peat has a lot to say about it. regards, Joan > Judging from the info you've shared so far, I would seriously look into the possibility that you have hypothyroidism " type 2 " -- that is, your cells are resistant to the active thyroid hormone T3 even though testing may reveal that you have enough in your bloodstream. Check your Basal Body Temperature for a few days (not during menstruation) first thing in the morning. If it is 97.8 or below then you would benefit from a few grains of desiccated thyroid (Armour) and/or a more balanced " high everything " type of diet for a while to rev up the metabolism from your hypometabolic state. In other words, your paleo diet may be too high in protein and too low in carbohydrate, which slows thyroid function. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 I'm not sure what to tell you if you're already seeing someone for thyroid issues. But it sounds like you need to be on Armour (or something like NOW brand Thyroid Energy), and if your endocrinologist isn't giving it to you maybe you should see someone else who will. Have they tested you specifically for thyroid antibodies (to detect Hashimoto's)? Otherwise, do as much research as you can about it on your own. Poke around Shomon's websites, read books by Broda , Mark Starr, and Langer to find out more. Here's one of Matt Stone's blog posts about it too: http://180degreehealth.blogspot.com/2009/01/master-broda.html Good luck, > > is that an oral temperature? should i keep the covers on or take them off first? i'm usually chilly going to bed but quite warm in the morning from all the layers. if i'm low for several days, what then? is there another (medically accepted/blood) test? i already see an endocrinologist for a slightly enlarged thyroid. i've had issues recently where the inflammation is bothering me, and i was being watched for possible developing hashimoto's even though my numbers are still within limits. right now, with the inflammation, they're slightly hyper but not enough that it should be producing any symptoms. > > thanks! > > sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
