Re: Latest Lab Results Please comment

[Guest guest]

I would try to sweitch to T3 onyl, and wait a month and retest iron

wiht a 5 day iron fast, It is vital to knwo where you r iron is, and

these labs look on the high siode no matter where ferritin is. so give

the iron time to settle in oyur body and retest the iron labs wiht the

proper time off iron and maybe wiht some T3 you won;t have to take a

bunch more.

My solution and only solution for constipation issues is, along with fiber,

powdered vitamin C dosed between 10-20 grams first thing in the AM. Vit C I

believe helps with Fe absorption. Vit C also is heavily concentrated in

adrenals...I made inferences from reading the material about ascorbate at

http://www.vitamincfoundation.org/surefire.shtml and orthomed.com

Val,

The adrenal group is not open yet. since you are here, i want to ask you an

adrenal question:

I wasn't feeling well on 40-45mg HC until I raised NTH. I lowered NTH after

consulting you because i had palp two months ago. I stayed at low NTH for a

month. Once I raised NTH, my hypoglycemia was less severe, my needs for HC

decreased, i slept better. I am now at home on short term disability. So i

decreased HC to 35mg without difficulty. but then I raised NTH again trying to

find the right dose. Two days later I found myself needing more HC and last

night I had 47.5mg total. I had adrenaline rushes all night, barely slept.

Today, I lowered NTH.

My question is, even though i did not take temp often and don't have a record to

show you, my sense is that raising thyroid will require more HC everytime we

raise. The mod in the adrenal group said once the temp is stable, I do not need

to increase HC while raising thyroid. but increasing thyroid seems to strain the

adrenal in my experience and may require simultaneous increase in HC. Am i

correct?
