Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hey Val and anyone else who can provide help, I have been on the HC and Armour journey for 7 months. I have gained 20 pounds in the past 2 months. However, my tests results are worse than when I first started. My frees are lower than ever before. I can't raise armour without feeling nauseous and smelling ammonia. I'm aware that I have to get my HC up to raise my armour to become optimal then to gradually wean off of Cortef. I know the process, but I can't raise armour without feeling sick. My iron has never been above 12, and I am taking 150 - 300 elemental iron prescription. My ALT is out of control. I am seeing the best thyroid doctor in the province, who has been trying to get to bottom of my issues. I am taking UNDA drops for liver detox, and Glutanagenics for healthy gut. I am also getting tested for iodine deficiency. PLEASE I need a solid plan of attack, I am not a open-shut case of raising cortef and armour and iron and then I am fixed. That isn't working for me, what other options are there? Please give me a substantial response when you have time. Here are my latest labs: TSH 2.15 (range 0.30 - 4.70) Free T4 - 7.8 (range 9.1 - 23.8) Free T3 - 3.6 (range 2.5- 5.7) Ferritin - 9 (range 13 - 145) Cortisol Random Ser (11am before taking any meds for the day) 444 (range 30 -958) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Before trying to raise thryodi at all you need that ferritin up or you will have really bad reactions. You also will not be able to tell what is a good HC dose until then as it can affect temps as it affects thyroid so much. I woul ddsay some iron injecitons should be your first priority. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
