Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Cindy, are you only taking cytomel and no other thyroid meds? I can't figure out why your doc would tell you to stop taking it to relieve what sure sound like hypo symptoms to me. You don't say how much natural thyroid or what other thyroid meds you were on before starting T3. Have you read everything on nick's site in regards to preparing your body for taking T3 only and the multiple dosing to make it easier on your adrenals? I would agree with Roni that it sounds like you need more not less of the T3. But if you haven't supported your adrenals or if your ferritin or D or other essential levels are low you will have a hard time upping the T3. I would suggest reading everything on nicks site.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sharon, I've read a good bit of Nicks site. I was taking adrenal caps for my adrenals. It really looked like I wasn't handling the cytomel thats why he told me to stop it. He wanted to make sure the adrenals were supported. It looks like I can not tolerate natural thyroid. I get horrible indigestion when I take it and muscle pain. That was why we went to the T3 only. No he's not tested iron or ferritin levels. My D was in range when I had that blood work done back in april. My B-12 was to high so I came off it.I'll read over Nicks site again. I'm going back to the Dr tomorrow and I'm going to ask for some test to be run.Thanks SharonTo: RT3_T3 Sent: Mon, August 30, 2010 9:03:38 PMSubject: Re: got any ideas??

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 there are so many types of adrenal caps. Is is an adrenal glandular? or just herbs? Did you have your adrenals checked/tested? I know one thing that can really affect whether you can tollerate the T3 is if your ferritin or iron is low. i think that low ferritin was one reason I got an RT3 problem in the first place. I had to supplement a lot to get mine up but you really need to have that tested so you know if you need more or not. Did you have your antibodies tested? I have not heard of anyone having stomach issues with natural thyroid. if there was a certain filler that you reacted to that could be a possibility. You can get compounded natural thyroid with no filler or with acidopholous only as a filler. Have you ever checked to see if you have a gluten intollerance? best to you, sharon Remember!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 They were glandular adrenal caps. Yes I did a saliva test and yes I have I had my antibodies tested. I do have Hasimoto's. I've tried a compound T4 and T3, naturethroid and i done just plane porcine. From those I had real bad indigestion and muscle pain. Doc said I must be able to tolerate pig. Thats why we went to cytomel. As for gluten I asked about it and was told we shouldn't be eating it any way.For some reason I am very sensitive to drugs. I hope after tomorrow visit I'll be able to lean more.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Most people with hashis are also gluten intollerant. I went over 5 years with undiagnosed stomach and abdominal pain and various symptoms like a weird blistering and peeling on my fingers. If I had been someone who leaned toward drug remedies the doc would have put me on zelnorm which later was recalled due to dangerous side effects. When I finaly decided to try going gluten free it all went away. I know Val has had quite the roller coaster ride with treatments. I think you will find help here. sharon Remember!

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Cindy Some people are allergic ...or better put, have a "food intolerance" to pork. One of my friends, who is NOT hypothyroid will get violently ill if there's even the smallest amount of pork in his food. You may be one of those people. The ingredient in Synthroid that some peeps can't tolerate is acacia gum. In Unithyroid, its gluten. In both medications its not the active ingredient,levothyroxine sodium, but the base that some people can't handle. Thankfully we have many opinions here in the States, as far as medication choices go. Hope we all get to feeling better... and soon.

Any way Last we I started getting these honorable headaches and my hands started hurting. Most of my joints and muscles were hurting also. I started feeling more hypo, cold and so on. I spoke with my doc and he told me to come off the cytomel that I should start to feel better. Just the oppose has happened. The pain in more and I'm not sleeping. Anyone know whats going on???

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 Oh gosh Sugar you have so got to give it a shot. You will feel so much better if gluten is the issue for your tummy woes. Now I have not had the excruciating pain in 2 years since I went gluten free. If i get a bit of contamination accidentally my hand gets that blistering/peeling thing for about a week. Gluten is in the weirest darned stuff like marinades and some salad dressings and certain flavors of ice cream. You can get substitutes for a lot of things but basically I don't need the bread or pasta anyway. I found some things I like like gluten free pretzels or ice cream cones at the health food store. I also take a lot of probiotics/multidopholous, digestive enzimes and HCI Sharon Remember! Dolls are people, too....have you hugged your dolls today?

It will itch and then blister up.. I've tried to go gluten free lets just say i'm not there yet. Cindy To: RT3_T3 Sent: Mon, August 30, 2010 10:58:30 PMSubject: Re: got any ideas?? Most people with hashis are also gluten intollerant. I went over 5 years with undiagnosed stomach and abdominal pain and various symptoms like a weird blistering and peeling on my fingers. If I had been someone who leaned toward drug remedies the doc would have put me on zelnorm which later was recalled due to dangerous side effects. When I finaly decided to try going gluten free it all went away. I know Val has had quite the roller coaster ride with treatments. I think you will find help here. sharon Remember!

Yes I did a saliva test and yes I have I had my antibodies tested. I do have Hasimoto's. I've tried a compound T4 and T3, naturethroid and i done just plane porcine. From those I had real bad indigestion and muscle pain. Doc said I must be able to tolerate pig. Thats why we went to cytomel. As for gluten I asked about it and was told we shouldn't be eating it any way. For some reason I am very sensitive to drugs. I hope after tomorrow visit I'll be able to lean more.

Did you have your adrenals checked/tested? I know one thing that can really affect whether you can tollerate the T3 is if your ferritin or iron is low. i think that low ferritin was one reason I got an RT3 problem in the first place. I had to supplement a lot to get mine up but you really need to have that tested so you know if you need more or not. Did you have your antibodies tested? I have not heard of anyone having stomach issues with natural thyroid. if there was a certain filler that you reacted to that could be a possibility. You can get compounded natural thyroid with no filler or with acidopholous only as a filler. Have you ever checked to see if you have a gluten intollerance? best to you, sharon Remember!

I was taking adrenal caps for my adrenals. It really looked like I wasn't handling the cytomel thats why he told me to stop it. He wanted to make sure the adrenals were supported. It looks like I can not tolerate natural thyroid. I get horrible indigestion when I take it and muscle pain. That was why we went to the T3 only. No he's not tested iron or ferritin levels. My D was in range when I had that blood work done back in april. My B-12 was to high so I came off it. I'll read over Nicks site again. I'm going back to the Dr tomorrow and I'm going to ask for some test to be run. Thanks Sharon To: RT3_T3 Sent: Mon, August 30, 2010 9:03:38 PMSubject: Re: got any ideas?? Cindy, are you only taking cytomel and no other thyroid meds? I can't figure out why your doc would tell you to stop taking it to relieve what sure sound like hypo symptoms to me. You don't say how much natural thyroid or what other thyroid meds you were on before starting T3. Have you read everything on nick's site in regards to preparing your body for taking T3 only and the multiple dosing to make it easier on your adrenals? I would agree with Roni that it sounds like you need more not less of the T3. But if you haven't supported your adrenals or if your ferritin or D or other essential levels are low you will have a hard time upping the T3. I would suggest reading everything on nicks site.
