Guest guest Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 What in the world does this type of muscle weakness have to do with an antidepressant?! Sheesh!! I have no doubt it's the CFS, alias, thyroid disease, but an antidepressant? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! Re: Re: Should I try T3? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: lkwetter > This changes nerve > and muscle response, making things kind of jerky and uncoordinated > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > ooooh, now bells are ringing! The latest thing to happen is this: whenever I exert any pressure on my feet, like holding in the clutch in my car or sitting in an upright chair with the pressure on the balls of my feet, my legs start jumping up and down quite uncontrollably. I was really worried about this so mentioned it to my doc. His response was that it was part of cfs (my official diagnosis) and to try another low dose anti-depressant. I don't think so! > Lynda (in the UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Hi, , I don't know the answer to your question. But I was wondering, do you take selenium? in Va. ----- I have found that with my very poor to none conversion I must take divided dosages or I have horrible slumps. I have also started taking some at or right before bedtime and find I do sleep much better with it. I am odd in that I don't feel I convert any T4 at all. I can take it by the jar and not feel a thing, but Armour & T3 together are beginning to make me feel good again. I have a question... As I doubt I do any T4 to T3 conversion, is there any reason I should continue taking T4 at all? Maybe go to straight T3 therapy? The only thing is I know there are other things in Armour that I wouldn;t get then though, so maybe it;'s best I stay on this.

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I read somewhere that T4 is used in the brain. But then we know the T3 must be used in the brain too if it's needed to prevent depression. I wish I knew where I read that. in Va. Subject: Re: Should I try T3?

Guest guest Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I tried Selenium several years ago with nothing from it, so I dropped it. Maybe I will try it again one of these days, but with things going as well as they are with my health, I really hate to rock the boat!
