BUMPRe: bunch of new labwork

[Guest guest]

thank you kathleen,

lol, i just ordered metformin today actually... i am really glad to hear you say

it is safe.

i ordered 250 of the 850mg tablets... so it looks like from what you said i

should just start with 1 to 1.25 tablets...

great to know:)

and wonderful website, i added it to my favorites:)!!!!!

i am going to have to pay xtra attention to my bg as i add in estrogen, because

it seems low est can cause some insulin resistance.

we shall see if that changes things....

kathleen, do you know what a good value for rbc potassium is?

not sure what to think of my results....

this ankle swelling thing is happening again today and is extreme. it is

uncomfortable and difficult to flex my ankle.

i hate to say it, but i added exercise back in this past monday. even though i

am not taking hc anymore, ive been stressdosing 10mg beforehand for it. have to

say, my temps have dropped and i've been groggy again, so i think this is

setting my adrenals back and therefore causing hypoT issues again. i am really

really dumb sometimes. i just miss exercise sooo bad.

ordered a new saliva test just for cortisol, so i'll see where i end up in a

couple weeks.

noon, high in range in evening, and below range at midnight. i moved my bedtime

dose of t3 to the next morning, i start getting sleepy around 9-10 and i fall

asleep so quickly, if i am out driving it is even hard to keep my eyes open,

like my body is just shutting down whether i like it or not,lol.
