Re: Having TFTs done and some other issues: Val would like your input please

[Guest guest]

>>I have an appointment with my endo on 9th Jan. I'm supposed to have

thyroid bloods done today in time for him to see where I'm at..since

I haven't taken any thyroid hormones since I saw him last when in

hospital it doesn't seem to make any sense to do it now and possibly

would be better to wait until I am ready to re-start Armour so that

I'll know where I'm at after being on it a while. Does this make

sense to you?<<

DOes he know you are not on any thyroid? I would be calling hiim and tell him

and see if he still wants the labs done.

>>Also, I have found when I was getting dizzy and abit nauseas it would

only start in the evening like after 6 or 7pm but today I have it

since 11.30am (45 mins ago) I've taken a half tsp of salt. Just

wondering why there would be a shift and hoping to God it's not here

to stay. I had it pretty bad last night aswell for about 3 hours.<<

I htink this is stress from the coming Doc appointement and labs. I would dose a

little extra when you feel this.

>>Since I'm taking my last HC at bedtime around 11pm or midnight, is

the long period without any HC contributing to the 'inner shakes'

when I wake up in the am? like 8 hours later. I'm not sleeping well

either by the way, awake every couple hours and only sleeping

lightly. Should I take some of my HC quota during the night? <<

You need to determinie if this is hypoglycemia or just low cortiosl. Of course

taking some HC in the night will help either! But if it si hypoglycemia you

could try a middle of night proitein snack too to try to keep the HC dose sown.

No he doesn't know, I'm thinking the less he knows right now the

better..don't want him telling me I shouldn't have done this..I

figure there's a good chance my temps will have stabilised before the

9th and then I'll have been able to re-start the Armour and then tell

him what I've done when I go see him. He really needs educating but I

need to be able to show him our thoery works!i.e that I don't go into

tremors form the Armour because I've waited to stabilise my adrenals

at 30 or 32.5mg HC? I have no other doc here I can use for tests,

I've been thru so many of them I was hoping I could keep him on my

side and maybe even convert him slowly..although he seemed to think

having tremors was not a big deal he did agree to me taking a total

of 30mg (prednis + HC) over Xmas and he did take copies I made for

him of the chapters from Dr Peatfields book on the Adrenal connection

and the one 'to doctors'.

Okay so I'll try a protein snack tonight and see what happens. If it

doesn't help I guess I could take the 2.5mg increase you suggested

yesterday in the middle of the night?
