Guest guest Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hello, Here are my test from a few months ago, I need to understand this because having new test in about 2 weeks, T3 total- 90 60-181ng/dl T4, Free 1.0 0.8-1.8 ng/dl TSH 0.27 low 0.40- 5.50. Since then I am taking 2 grains of nat thyroid now and hc 10 mg divided into 2 doses and started adding adrenal cortex supplement, slowly, this is just recently(1 week). I know I have both adrenal and thyroid issues but even on 2 grains, I am tired, cold, and feel depressed. Am I heading in the rt direction?, thanks room. I appreciate all the help from everyone. I am also on 10 mg dhea and several supplements. It is okay to go up on the armour , I def dont want to add more Hc, thats why I am on the Adrenal cortex but maybe I should while I am chelating, every round I am more tired. Help!

So, these could be higher.----------Jackie TSH 0.27 low 0.40- 5.50. -----------TSH probably doesn't mean much with mercury poisoning. Low, usually means *hyper*thyroid, and your symptoms are anything but! Have you ever had thyroid antibodies tested, meaning Hashi's? I have Hashi's, and my TSH was usually low like this also, but I was anything but hyper also! So if you have Hashi's and/or mercury poisoning, I don't think TSH means much.---------Jackie Since then I am taking 2 grains of nat thyroid now and hc 10 mg ------------But you weren't taking anything when the above tests were done?-----Jackie divided into 2 doses and started adding adrenal cortex supplement, slowly, this is just recently(1 week). I know I have both adrenal and thyroid issues but even on 2 grains, I am tired, cold, and feel depressed. Am I heading in the rt direction?, -----------I am not the thyroid expert, but my understanding is that it takes time to get optimized and find your right dose, so you may just not be there yet.---------Jackie thanks room.

Help! -----------If you're tolerating the ACE, then keep slowly building that dose up. I am taking it with HC, and it feels like it does something different than HC, and has also allowed me to stay at my 20mg maintenance dose, without feeling the need to stress dose as often, and I've even only taken 10mg of HC a few days. So it is definitely helping me keep my dose of HC down. Do you have a doctor helping you with the armour dosing, or are you doing it by yourself? It sounds like you could go higher, based on symptoms. Are you tracking your temps? That is suppose to help you know when you're at the right dose also.---------Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
