Re: Val I am suffereing badly

[Guest guest]

I get the depressed crying symptoms when I have too little T3. I feel so sad

and hopeless.

When my cortisol is too low, then I am stressed and I want to rip into someone,

I have no patience.

The last few days I used too much T3 and my cortisol was getting low. I have

been fighting my teenagers more often now and realized I could not handle the

stress. I backed off the T3 last night and today, and I am a little tired from

the ordeal, but I am not that stressed.

It is such a balancing act and you wonder will this finally come to a closure.

I do have have moments of good days, so that gives me hope.

I remember how scared I was when I decided to start the HC.Once is from the low

cortisol the seackness makes us fear a lot and second from all I heard from all

docotors. I was very scared too but if I did not start HC ,I think I would not

survive. Yes,being depressed is also one of the many issue with the adrenal and

hypo situation.Val is helping me and all here.Ask her and listen to her.That how

I can help.

Ellen, I had this experience one day when the pharmacist gave me a short suppy of generic T3 meds because they didn't have my Cytomel.

With less than 8 hours, I went from my normal hypothyroid symptoms to sitting on my couch crying uncontrollably and having suicidal thoughts.

A friend who called me urged me to go straight to the pharmacy and pick up my Cytomel refill. Within taking one dose I could tell a difference in just a few short minutes (I dose sublingually).

The point? Maybe you need to increase your T3 dosing. Are you on a ramping up schedule? I had much more problems with depression when I first started on T3-only therapy because I wasn't increasing fast enough.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks everybody. I raised my T3 today but it did not help. I have been

ramping up and I am at 63 mcg. I have to move slowly since the anxiety is so

bad. I have also raised my HC. I am wasting away. I don't weight more than

120 lbs and I am 5.6 " I cannot keep weight on and eat all day. I am so

miserable. I am losing so much muscle mass. Everthing is just not good and you

guys are my only support system. I am tired of this fight. I am not sure how

Val has fought this long or any of you for that matter. I just have no stamina

anymore. I have been at this since 2006 and on disiblity and just over it.

I am on 25, 12 1/2 12 1/2 12 1/2 I have been at this approx 6 weeks or maybe a

litle over. I can hardly keep track of the cortef since I added the cream with

all the stomach problems.

So I will try to get through one more day. I know i sound pitiful but I am

Thanks

Hi

My Dad is only 114 pounds. No muscle mass what so ever. This is due to celiac disease. I have tried everything to get him to put on weight. The only things I have not tried is getting a proper testosterone level done and Betaine Hcl. May I suggest you look into taking http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/ It is might help you feel better with your general well being. The big thing for Dad was he no longer felt sick in the stomach and alot of his pain has gone away. He was on Morphine patches before he started low dose naltrexone.

What are you vitd, b12 and ferritin levels these days?

You are definitely not alone in feeling so hopeless. I often feel like like you.

I am also loosing weight and getting too thin and feel depressed and suicidal

sometimes. I do not feel better than two years ago when I didn't even know I had

hashis. I hope things will improve with time.

Sometimes it is very difficult not to loose hope.

[Guest guest]

This is the place the hopeless gather! Somehow it feels good just knowing you're not the only one being that hopeless..... I find great comfort in these groups, and I wish you all good health in the near future! in Norway

[Guest guest]

I like to think this is the place where so many of us come to find hope!

If I hadn't found this board and the NTH/NTH Adrenals boards, I'd probably be disabled by now. Instead, I'm treating my RT3 issues, have information to start treating my low cortisol, and am feeling better almost every day.

Thanks to the folks on these boards, I know when a doc is closed-minded or flat-out wrong, and I know when to move on.

Thanks to the folks on these boards, I know how to tell when it's time to bump up my dose of T3, and I know where to get T3 if my doc calls high RT3 "irrelevant."

Thanks to the folks on these boards, I know that my weak legs, painful joints and extreme brain fog are merely symptoms and will improve with treatment (which they have!).

Thanks to the folks on these boards, I know about natural thyroid hormone, RT3 resistance, adrenal fatigue, Canada's Erfa Thyroid, flouride and bromide, important supplements and so much more.

And, thanks to the folks on these boards, I know I'm not alone and I can find a friend to help strengthen me when I have a meltdown from being given a generic drug that doesn't work, when I think I'm about to lose my job from brain fog and dysfunction, or when I'm a little scared about being physically ready for an upcoming surgery.

This is the place to come find compassion, empathy and understanding, and most importantly, useful information that can help you feel better. It may not happen right away, but it does happen. The folks on these boards have given me hope and are helping me reclaim my life. I'm so very thankful.

So yes, this is the place where the hopeless gather. But it's also a place where the hopeless can become hopeful and can see a future that includes wellness and energy. Not to mention, we make a few friends along the way.

My labs look good but I have never been more depressed. I have frequent

thoughts myself of just ending it. I may have to get on antidepressants which I

NEVER thought I'd do.

How much T3 are you on. I am up to 75mcg and still feel like I am going to end

it all. I almost did this morning. This is scary and Ido not know what to do.

When you are in the place you are in, you should seek immediate medical help. I

know I am skeptical of conventional doctors, but they DO care even if they don't

always know what to do. In the short term PLEASE PLEASE get some help and then

try to figure out your thyroid situation. I know how you feel and have been

suicidal myself Ellen. I'm glad you emailed me and I do NOT want anything

to happen to you. Please try MORE cortisol and if that doesn't help GO SEE

SOMEONE!!

Ellen, I am suffering terribly with this as well, and at one point I was

having terrible mental abherations because I went on HC without needing it. Im

not saying that you don't need HC, but go back to your saliva test before

beginning HC and post it in order to confirm that you do need to be on HC. Thank

God I did this and Val told me that I didn't need to be on it. As it turns out,

the reason I couldn't raise cytomel was because my ferritin was too low. Im

currently working on raising ferritin and its a slow, trying process. Most

days, I feel so crummy that I don't leave home. You have to be patient, keep

posting and checking every possible angle with cortisol, ferritin, and

electrolytes. A lot of us here on this site are depressed and very sick, but

the hope that tomorrow may be a better day keeps us hanging on. Ellen,

please seek emergency assistance either at the hospital or by calling a suicide

hotline. You WILL be ok. I don't know if you believe in God, but I do and I

will be sure to ask for your healing of mind and body. Have faith and hang in

there. Although I don't know you, I send you a big hug and I asure you that

your life is important to keep on living!.

Thanks to everyone fro your kindness. I have lowered my T3 and we will see what

today brings. I really appreiciate your help and I hope and pray everyone is

healed from this dreaded monster that insues us. I know some have gotten better

and pray we all get there. This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through.

When you loose all your friends and the only ones you have left are in a

computer is pretty mind blowing.

Love to all
