Shirley could you post a little more info on the alternate list or to me privately?(I looked at the link and what I got seemed to be one of those " catch-all " sites, it may have been hijhacked.)

site. From the experience of my husband and myself, I believe every

word. Very close to a miracle.

Hi Ceri, many of us find that in the winter months, we need to

increase our thyroid hormone replacement and in the summer months, we can

decrease it. However, I have attached a document you may wish to read to see

what some of the associated conditions are that go along with being hypothyroid

that you might need to investigate, should you still feel you are 'not quite

getting there'. Read through this document and let us know if you

recognise any possibilities, but you might need to ask your GP to test your

levels of ferritin(stored iron), vitamin B12, vitamin D3, magnesium, folate,

copper and zinc, especially after having your twins. Should any of these be low

in the reference range, you may well need to supplement them to enable your

thyroid hormone replacement to work efficiently. The levothyroxine (T4) you are

taking is a mainly inactive thyroid hormone and it must convert to the active

thyroid hormone T3. It is T3 that your body needs and not T4. You may need a

trial of synthetic T4/T3 combination to get back your full health, but first,

get the above results and post them on the forum, together with the reference

range for each of the tests done. Do NOT let your GP tell you that your results

are normal, because they are within the reference range - we need to know

whether they are at the top, the middle or the bottom of the range.

Luv - Sheila

I have to say that six months on, taking one ThyroComplex vitamin a day, on 150

mcg of Levothyroxine, vaguely following some of the Holford diet (cutting down

on bread, sugar, etc), I am feeling better than I did.

Not back to how I was before, but then life is different too (before I wasn't a

twin mum, the hypothyroidism arrived with the babies, I believe, and being a

mum is hard work!), but improved. I don't seem to have those totally defeating

daily bouts of exhaustion I had up to six months ago, for which I'm so thankful!

Should I be happy with this? Wonder if the improvement was in some ways to do

with the warmer lighter months and will it get worse when winter sets in? I

hope not!

Good for you. It's still your body and you have to live in it.

I was on iodine for a couple weeks, then my doctor said no so I stopped. Well on Sunday i started iodine back up again, i already notice a difference in my energy, and my brain-fog. I am thinking clearer, better memory, and much better energy. sorry doc, have to go against your recommendation

The mind/body connection is very powerful, and I believe, that if anyone

thinks a certain regimen helps them, chances are it will to some degree. It's

the science of psychoneuroimmunology.

I boost my immune system by not spending all day long thinking about CLL. I am W

& W since 2005 and most all my counts are the same if not better than the day I

got diagnosed. Those that I know who aggressively treated their CLL, they pass

on faster from what I can see and worse yet get treatment dependent on stronger

and stronger regimens. I asked Keating if I ought to treat the last visit and

got a resounding no. I can't say I feel better. I can't say I don't get tired. I

know there are those who will disagree, but when there is a cure I will take it,

until then little chance I will take treatment. Until there is a cure, quit

counting the days and quit looking for temporary fixes. Feeling lousy is just a

feeling, not a harbinger of the the end.

I think it is funny to read all these posts on how to boost the immune

system and Dr Terry Hamblin keeps posting there is nothing that boosts the

immune system. I have been on watch and wait for 2 years now and my

perception is that getting enough sleep, exercising, eating right, etc.

gives you something to do and it also makes you feel better (for me, less

fatigue). It also puts you in a good place to be when you do need

treatment. So by all means do it!!

Hi Mark,

I dont think this is so far fetched.....Dr. Franco has me on three fish

oil pills 3 times per day. Total of 9. I've always heard that was good for

RA. Glad you're doing so well, and I agree....I wouldn't do anything to rock

the boat right now either. Better days are coming for us:)))

>Though this is far fetched and may not have anything to do with it, I did

start increasing my consumption of fish oil capsules and it was about that

very same time that I started getting relief. I know - that sounds weird,

but I had read in one of Dr. Sear's books on the Zone Diet (part of his diet

consists of taking Omega 3 oils, thus the fish oil) that with RA, it would

be benificial to take 3 per meal rather than 2, so I started doing so. And

shortly thereafter I started feeling much better. While in Atlanta, I

missed taking them for about a day and a half and the last night before

leaving Atlanta, I started to ache again at night and woke up stiffer than I

had been waking up. So I immediately went back to taking 3 per meal, and

last night no aches late at night and I woke up feeling good with lots of

energy. Coincidence? Maybe - but then again, maybe it was something my

body was needing? Again who's to say? I will have to experiment going off

of the fish oil again to see if it makes a difference, but not today, cause

I feel too good!

rather gloomy I was till I came out of this, then suddenly it was like

someone switched a light on. I will say this - sure makes one want to stay

out of the flare stage!

>So hang in there gang - better days are coming!

>

>P.S. Although I filled my script for Zithro - I haven't started taking it -

I think I will hold off and see if this good period continues for a while.

If I go south , then I can always start it then. In the meantime, I started

taking milk thistle as I read that w/ long term dosages of antibiotics, that

it was helpful to take something like milk thistle to protect your liver. I

figured I would give it a try for a month and see how that works. I will

try and check and see where I read that - possibly in one of Dr. Murray's

books (he's a naturopath and from reading his books, I would guess a pretty

good one)

Sounds good - and congrats on finally 'moving things along' and weight loss, as well!Ginny From: gwenintx <gwenfrazier1@...> Sent: Wednesday, June 13, 2012 8:00 AM Subject: Feeling better

I have now lost 4 pounds in 3 days! I was slow getting started losing for some reason, my body wanted to hold on to everything If you get my drift. Odd when I was eating so much roughage and I am usually so regular! I had more energy this morning and my head seemed clearer. Hope this all continues!

Now to share a great salad dressing! No salt or oils needed! It is great on spinach with extra sliced strawberries!

Strawberry Vinaigrette

8 Cups strawberries cleaned (frozen or fresh)

1 Cup Bragg cider vinegar

2 tsp. dry mustard (I love 's)

1 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. onion powder

Blend in Vitamix! Better after overnight. Hope this helps somebody!
