Re: Weight and thyroid-florinef

[Guest guest]

I noticed a major improvement on Florinef actually. My mood was immediately better, less fatigue, ringing ears improved, no more headeaches, once I got to around 3/4 tab my hair/skin started to improve. I am now on 1 1/4 tab and feel pretty good salt wise. I started taking progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone cream which seemed to help a lot as well since aldosterone is made from progesterone from my understanding. All three were very low for me. Have you had them tested?

Florinef is a strong drug though and can really disrupt other things like sex hormones and potassium balance.

Kittty, I was wondering if you noticed a big difference when you started Florinef? I have been tested for Aldosterone and it was 2. I have been taking some licorice that is in Fatigued to Fantastic. Helps some and my iron helps too. Just wondering what you noticed once you were on it. I am not taking any cortisol, just Adrenal Rebuilder.

Thanks,

Rhionda

Joan,

Sea salt is very good. You want an unrefined salt like the celtic grey sea salt http://www.amazon. com/Celtic- Sea-Salt% C2%AE-Brand- Celtic%C2% AE/dp/B000TIZP5I /ref=sr_1_ 5?ie=UTF8 & s=grocery & qid=1275586221 & sr=8-5

I take salt water all day, I was needing 4-5 teaspoons a day but now seem ok with 3-4. My sodium was 138 and I had horrible low sodium symptoms. I need to get my electrolytes retested so not sure what they are now but last check was 142. I think you want sodium around 142-143. I would start with 1/2 teaspoon of salt in water a few times a day and see how you feel.

Aldosterone is a seporate test. You have to salt fast for it. http://faqhelp. webs.com/ aldosteroneandre nin.htm

If your aldosterone is very low you will likely need florinef to get it up, no amount of salt worked for me just gave me diarrhea!

Hi Kitty, I have had the androgens tested and I was almost nothing for testosterone and have been on over a year. Have added bioesrogen - think that is what its called my peogesterone is high but doc doesn't want to give estrogen without progesterone? So, I am low in all. I think my sodium is right around 139 on the 135 to something and potassium was 4.5 range to 5 something. Aldosterone was 2 and renin was fine. I don't have the urge to pee though. I sweat good amnd occassionally feel light headed. The lights really use to bug me. There was no way I could look at the sun. A little better now.
