Re: Cytomel increase and swelling

July 10, 2010

JUlie as you probably already knwo, fluid reteniton and swellign was one

of my WORST symptoms for over 15 yeras, It has taken that long to get

rid of it FOR THE MOST PART! I stil get puffy ankles in the heat when I

have been sitting alot btu wlking around helpos and for thew mosty part

it is gone. There are no easy answers wiht this issue. Whne I first

started T3 my legs swelled worse for a whiel. I honestly dont knwo the

cause but I have often wondered if ti si the sodium molecule in the

thyroid... But then Armoru did not get rid of it, NO WAY and though sea

salt got rid of some, thne potasisum got rid of some more, and then whne

i got UN-hypo the rest just left. I DO take lots of supplements tht

ahelp circulation, ALA, Krill oil, and vitamin D (by the bucket) and

vitamin E. I think it is the combo of all these things that has worked

for me. I have had lwo aldosterone for ye4ars I am certain as even in my

teens I used ot have to take salt tablets ot keep from having heat

stroke every summer. but it is not low wnough for me to tolerate

Florinef, though for the first WEEK on it I feel wonderful and greatly

improved. Tehn the swellign gets MUCH worse.

> A month ago, I increased Cytomel - and ended up with sweling. I backed down,

and the swelling went away.
