Guest guest Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi , I understand completely. I don't have a job, but homeschool my 14 year old son. With very little energy, I find it very difficult to keep going. I have had to find programmes that take the stress off me. I have often thought I don't know what I would do if I had to go to work. Many thanks, Carmel NZ Sucrase Isomaltase Deficiency Fructose Malabsorption SCD 24.03.09 > > > > > > I have had my TSH tested and it is always within normal range but very low, I want to say 0.8 on average. > > > > Hi ...me again ..have you heard of " 's Temperature syndrome " ? It is a thyroid issue that can't be dx'd from the standard tests ( as it concerns issues re: converting t4 into t3) the good news is you do the test for it yourself ...you get a good quality thermometer ( prefer liquid metal, but a brand new/never been dropped digital is o.k.) you take your temperature three times daily ( 3 hours after waking, then 6 hours, then 9 hours) for 3 days ( or what I did--since I can't always take my temp 3 x day... I took it at those time slots for 2 weeks then averaged them ) if your average is below 98.2 ( mine was 96.8 when i started it! ) then you get compounded slow release t3...the manual on how to take it ( & symptoms associated with the syndrome ) are on the wilson's syndromes website as are a list of pharmacies you can order it from ....I've been on it 4.5 months now & finally my temp average is up to 98 ...I haven't " captured " my temp yet ( that's what they call it when eventually your body remembers that is the correct temp to be at & it stays there without the medicine ...which is good--it means you don't have to take the med for life, eventually your " cured " ) it has reduced my food reactivity ( to even legal foods ) alot & improved my energy & focus alot & that " home testing " was a $ bonus!! hth, gisele > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
