Re: help with what to do next

[Guest guest]

>>according to the book " The water cure " a half of

a teaspoon is the recommended dose and then you have to drink about

6-7 glasses of water to move the salt.<<

But she was talking about a situation with low aldosterone which makes a person

a salt waster. Thsi means you cannot keep sodium in the body so replenishing ti

with LAOT more than normal is soetimes needed.

So do you just measure out the 1 or more tsps into a bottle with 16ozs

or more of water (I'm assuming glass?), take it to work and drink it

during the day?

I have sample packets of Celtic Sea salt I oput a packet per 16oz water,

or I just dump in a teaspoon I really don;t measure it. In the summer I

end up tking 2-3tsp daily of the salt but in winter some dys I dont even

need any,

Yes salt as with any mineral takes time to absorb properly so raising it

a bti slower may be best.

Hi Dahlia, I've been taking florinef since 31.12.07 and I'm now on 1

pill-just increased the salt to 1 1/4 teaspoons per day.Since being

on florinef my blood pressure has improved although still dropping

when I stand (most of the time around the 100 mark) and my energy

levels have been better.If you don't mind me asking what symptoms do

you have?

.

florinef and how much salt are you taking?

should be drinking. It seems like I still need a lot.

Hi kc in Az

I'm pretty sure that the sweating isn't high cortisol for me as I has

it years ago with all the other symptoms and felt so much relief

after hc and it only gets worse the more salt I take.Does get worse

with stress as well though.I do understand the importance of testing

but now I'm on hc I really can't go off it to get tested right now as

I too have alot of stressors at the moment and only just holding it

together.Whatever is causing the sweating it's a real pain isn't it?

Hi ,

I think, though it's really too soon to know for sure, that I'm seeing a

benefit from florinef, today is only my 3rd day at 1/4 tab....Yesterday I took

slightly more than 2 tsps of celtic sea salt, spread out through the day...I

also took 2 caps of Nature's Way licorice with each meal. My temps were pretty

stable as were my energy levels, most of the day. This is something really new

for me!

I would like to be able to decrease my salt in-take, as I can see that I'm

retaining fluid, but for now it's worth it...I don't think there's any harm for

a short time, anyway.

I'm really glad the florinef has helped you so much....Did you find you needed

less hc once you were on the florinef? Were you able to tolerate more thyroid

hormone?

Let's keep each other up-dated!

>Hi Dahlia,

Don't worry about giving too much info.I think it's very useful to

share experiences. I think this can be such a lonely illness and I

think it's important to learn from each other as much as we can as it

takes such a lot of energy and effort to find the answers, and

patience (which I often don't have enough of!).I've been on hc since

jan 07 and am currently on 37.5mg and taking T3 30mcg.I started

Florinef because despite the high dose of hc my blood pressure was

still dropping when I stood, I failed the flashlight test, I suffered

from excessive perspiration, slightest exercise and I was tired out,

struggled with my appetite, especially first thing in the morning,

had problems standing for any period of time and I'm also a very low

weight which I believe can be adrenal.I never had my adolsterone

tested as it's very difficult to get it tested in the uk without your

doctors backing.

<So far since taking it my energy levels have got better, I can walk

further and stand for longer and my appetite has returned.My blood

pressure has been dropping sometimes and rising others so I'm

currently trying to raise the salt as it's important to help the

florinef to work.I've dropped down to 1 1/4 teaspoon of salt as I

rasied from 1 to 2 teaspoon at once and found my finger swelled a bit

so I'm doing it gradually (more patience needed!!!).I take it about 4

days a day but end up with some of it being in a lot of the water I

drink overall as I put it in a glass, drink some and then top it up

again with more water (I used to take 1/2 teaspoon twice a day,

morning and evening but I don't feel it helps as much as spreading it

out).My current issue is that my perspiration becomes worse the more

salt I take but I'm hoping this will work itself out with time.The

only symptom I got is that when I first went on florinef I was

getting breathless more and my chest felt a bit tight but I increased

my magnesium and this seems to have gone away so I think it was maybe

just going a bit more hypo.My candida problem also seemed to get a

bit worse but again this could be due to going hypo.How much salt are

you currently taking and when?

I hope the florinef helps you-I felt some beneficial effects quite

quickly.Let me know how it goes.>

-Hi Dahlia,it's good to see that you're having some benefit from

florinef already-sometimes I think our bodies are so desperate that

things can work quite quickly.My blood pressure this am wasn't soo

good as I stayed in bed later than usual which I don't think always

helps me.

This afternoon I'm off on a short country walk (though I'm careful

not to over do it!).This is something I couldn't do before starting

florinef without being absolutely exhausted that evening and the day

after.At the moment I've not reduced my hc.Occasionally I felt like I

ran out of hc quicker before my next dose was due, particularly at

the slightest stress (even not being able to find a parking space in

a car park!) so i think maybe the dose of hc I'm on is actually

lasting a bit better now.I've not actually tried increasing my T3 at

the moment since starting florinef as I'm trying to get my blood

pressure to rise when standing so I don't over stress the adrenals

and don't want to change too many things at once although emotionally

right now I really do feel hypo!!.

I don't know if you've said this but what's your blood pressure like?

Does it rise on standing?
