Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Lynn, it sounds like you are Hyperthyroid, because the symptoms are just like you have described. I was Hyper, and then after the implants, I became Hypo; however, some women lose a lot of weight when they become sick from their implants. I lost so much weight, that I looked skeletal...just like our grandma. I cannot find her picture, but I will have another look. Could someone please help me find grandma, with her implants. Sending love to you too........Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~````` Re: Rapid Heartbeat Lea,You have to be careful with too much synthroid (or armour) too. It can cause heart issues. I am glad your doctor noticed. I am thinking my dose is too high too. I have rapid heart beats, can't sleep well and I have lost more weight without even trying. I am figgity too. I just had a thyroid panel run last week, I am wondering if he will take me down to .050 mcg? Big hugs Lea!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Honey, we tried the Armour, but it did not work for me. My doctor put me back on Synthroid, and things got so much better. He lowered my dose yesterday, because it was too high. I am taking 0.15mg starting today, and it is very important that you take it on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. I take mine every morning at 3 AM. My doctor told me that we have to keep trying until we find the correct dose. Take care sweetie....love you too....Lea ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```` Re: Rapid Heartbeat Hi Lea, I'm currently taking 15 mg of armour but I don't think it's enough.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Steph, Your antibodies are normal, this is a good thing. I guess the doc might have you on armour due to the TSH? I am not sure if you want to go too high on the armour because it can had adverse side effects. When did you start armour? I am happy your ANA was negative. I only wish mine was. I do not have puffy eyelids or fevers but I do have joint pains. I would be so happy to have a TPO of 11, I pray one day mine is anywhere near 30! How long on the armour? If you haven't been on it long, please remember that it takes a while to get in your system, at least a month or so. It is not immediate. I realize it is very frustrating because I have been there. I never thought my thyroid pain would go away but it did. You could always ask your doctor to test your TSH again to see if you are on an adequate dose. If you go too high with out supervision, you might regret it. From what I have read, hyperthyroidism is much worse than hypo - so please be careful.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 I've been on the armour for about a month now. He said my thyroid is a little on the low side. I have another appt with him in March and he already gave me the lab slips to get retested before my appt. As far as the ANA, the dr showed me the test and it said negative so I guess that means I don't have any at all? I'm hoping that by taking the armour it'll lower my TSH and I'll feel better. Hopefully one day this will be over for all of us.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 A negative ANA means you aren't testing for a significant number autoimmune antibodies . . . If that number was high, it would indicate you have an autoimmune problem, but it wouldn't determine what the problem was. Someone said that they thought 1:140 was high . . . That's not very high . . . There are numbers much, much higher than that! . . . I wouldn't worry about 1:140 . . . If implants are out and you're getting your diet in order and detoxing, that should be considered a good milestone. Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Lea, Armour does not work for those with untreated adrenal exhaustion. Synthroid will work better for them instead, but it would be better to get the adrenals treated!!! Once the adrenals are working better, you can tolerate armour better! Finding the right dose takes some effort, but once you are there, you will know.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Lynn, Women on the Stopthethyroidmadness.com site have been on way more thyroid meds than you or I and they are not having hyperthyroidism symptoms. If you read the typical blather put out by the medical field on thyroid meds, you will be scared to death to take too much. They always put a spin on it that sounds like you will die. But the truth is, many people have been on huge amounts of thyroid meds with no trouble. Dr. Gerson put his patients on large amounts of Armour during cancer treatment, and they not only survived, they thrived! So, it's not the big boogeyman that it's been made out to be. But, I do want to say that I think the problem may be more related to untreated adrenal issues. It blows my mind how ignorant most medical doctors are about connecting the adrenals with the thyroid. I never, not once, was tested for adrenal function before either the homeopathic doctor or endocrinologist prescribed both cytomel and armour for me.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Patty, my doctors will not even listen when I mention the adrenals. They know that is out of their field, and they should send me to someone who specializes in these issues. Why do you think that Armour is a better medication? Honey, thank you for helping us with our thyroid issues.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Have you had your thyroid checked? I know the LDN sites says that people with hashimotos that take thyroid hormones and take LDN can decrease their need for thyroid meds. Being hypothyroid can cause rapid heart rate and palipitations. This may or may not be your issue but I would see an MD to get to the bottom of it. Some people also (like me) have premature ventricular contractions, which are harmless I was told. I have a holter monitor and a cardiac stress echo done to rule out more serious issues.  LizFrom: penseur4444 <penseur4444@...>low dose naltrexone Sent: Monday, November 3, 2008 8:08:56 AMSubject: [low dose naltrexone] Rapid Heartbeat Hi, I'm two weeks into taking 1.5 mg of LDN and all of a sudden, I've developed a rapid heartbeat/slight palpitation.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Increased symptoms upon starting LDN is not uncommon, the increased heartrate is unusual.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I know I have adrenal fatigue based on test of cortisol, pregnenolone and dhea levels. I supplement with hydrocortisone, pregnenolone and Cortisol Control. What would be the connection between adrenal fatigue and taking LDN?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Excellent observation Liz, In going through all of the posts regarding heart palpitations or racing, I noticed a number of people had thyroid issues. I am not certain how many were on thyroid meds at the time, but that may well be what is happening. All my best, Aletha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 the connection between adrenal fatigue and ldn is that people with adrenal fatigue are very sensetive for every change.it is good that you treat the adrenal fatigue and it is good that you use ldn.your body has to get used to the ldn.one possibiltiy is to make your fluid ldn and to start lower then 1.5 mg until the body is used to it and then to raise it slowly. > > > > > > Hi, > > > > > > I'm two weeks into taking 1.5 mg of LDN and all of a sudden, I've > > > developed a rapid heartbeat/slight palpitation.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hi Liz It may not be the LDN many things can cause your symptoms. Even eating chocolate in some people can cause rapid heartbeats. Also after eating chocolate (or other foods that can cause the same) you may not pick up its the food because the increase in heartbeats may not start for 3 or 4 hours and even longer. If you continue to eat foods that are causing it then the rapid beats will stay. 1 way to test this is stop the LDN but keep eating what you are, if the rapid beats stop wait a day or 2 then start the LDN again. Keep a log of what you eat. Sal > > Hi, > > I'm two weeks into taking 1.5 mg of LDN and all of a sudden, I've > developed a rapid heartbeat/slight palpitation.
