Re: Anyone with ligament laxity experience?

[Guest guest]

Wendi, my joints hurt when I'm hypo but not sure if ligament laxity is the same thing, also have fibro real bad. I take LDN for it and my muscles and joints don't hurt nearly as bad. I tried Isocort for a while and my doc told me not to take more than 8 pellets a day, don't know when you take your last dose but I wonder if that has anything to do with you waking up at 2am, maybe it's too much Isocort?<<Posted by: "WendiL" swlubinus@... swlubinusMon May 31, 2010 3:00 pm (PDT)I am starting week 11 and I am on 100 mcg of Cytomel using 15 pellets of Isocort a day to support my adrenals. I steadily increased Cytomel through the first 8 weeks but 1.5 weeks ago I tried 105 mcg and couldn't tolerate it - Unable to concentrate, just felt wired so I have been at 100 mcg and seem Ok. Will I be able to notice a difference at clearance or do I need to be on a higher dose?Energy is SO - SO, still not losing any weight on a low carb died and nothing has really changed during this process, I still wake up at 2am every morning but now I eat a small snack that I leave next to the bed and soon fall back asleep - I do eat a high protein snack before bed but I still wake up. Aside from low energy, and not sleeping though the night is the extreme ligament laxity. I use an belt to support my hips (SI joints) and a shin splint belt and / or ace bandages to support the fibular joint below the knew. The fibular joint get so sore I can hardly walk without support there. Anyone with ligament laxity problems? How long after clearance does it take to start getting some stablizing in the joints?thanksWendi>> Kem in Eugene <º)))><

thanks for the reply. My joints would ache when I was really hypo but this

isn't an ache - my fibular head " pops " when I walk so the joint capsule is very

loose. With support it is alot better. Kind of like my SI joints they too will

" pop " when I raise my legs - without support my back muscles try to support and

finally they can't take it anymore and get really tight with spasms.

I take my last does of Isocort at 4pm and it is only 2 pellets. I was taking

17 Isocort a day but I recently reduced it without a reduction in energy. Maybe

my next reduction will be the 4pm dose. the Isocort bottle says not to take

more than 8 per day but The 17 I was taking was based on my conversation with

Moderator . She told me she has seen people take up to 20 without issue.

It seems to work for me and I haven't had to use HC although I would have if

neccessary.

How long have you been taking Low-dose naltrexone? I was reading about it

recently sounds promising for some stuff. what other benefits have you noticed

other than the joints?

What does loose sacral ligaments feel like? I have pain in that area all the

time when I stand or do anything on my feet for more than 15 minutes. And when I

use the foam roller and roll over that area the pain is intense and awful.

Sounds like that's suppressed T4 completely and made up a full

replacement dose, that will clear things fine
