Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 You best bet is to go into one of the better department stores and have it fitted by a trained sales person. Not only will they take several measurements but they will know the strong points of each brand and style. I generally have the best luck with Lillyette's Minimizer styles. I used to like Bali but they no longer make the triple-D that I need.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 go and get it treated, the rule of thumb to remember is that things you need to avoid are treatments that may increase your heart rate and put pressure on fragile blood vessels.

Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I have 3 little boys (almost 10, 7 & 4). So far so good, but with the many doctors I have spoken with, and most of them very good doctors, they claim there is no evidence of lupus being passed on to your children. Mojo question Has any one in this group had children that also have lupus? I lost seven children and have two that lived both boys and sadly both with Lupus my youngest has it bad he can't even hold down a job. people tell him he is lazy he will start getting sad and say what did he ever do to deserve this. I wonder if I had known this if I would have had children. take care and IM so glad my new Florida friends are OK.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 When I increase my dose my BBT, HR and BP all increase a little for about a week, then they stabilize. Hypos tend to have low BP so an increase is to be expected, I know mine would be really low and really high before I started with the hormones, but it stablized once I hit the right dose. Your rise in BP could be related to the increased dose, but it could also be from stress, or from lack of exercise (especially if you used to exercise). How high is it? > Is there anyway that increasing one's thyroid hormone--nature- throid, causes an increase in blood pressure? My physician gave me 1/2 grain and refused to increase as he says my reports are normal. > > I have upped it by 1/2 grain every two weeks. I am now at 1 1/2 grains and in the last 10 days or so, my blood pressure has increased. I have been on Altace 2.5 mg for one year and my BP has been under control. I used to walk an hour a day until late October when I stopped as I broke a bone in my heel. I have had a lot of demands from an ailing 87 year old mother since then and have not started my walking again. Of course, I have gained 10 pounds. I realize that not walking and gaining weight could be responsible for the high BP. However, I thought I should check out the increased thyroid. > > I just joined a health club cause it is still snowing here in Canada and start next week:>) > > I would appreciate anyone's comments. > > Kallie > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hi Kallie. In a few cases, there are a few folks whose blood pressure went up when they tried Armour, but it's because " something else " is wrong, and the T3 in Armour may be aggravating it. But...as you hinted, it may be the situation you are in, and the walking may help. Janie > Is there anyway that increasing one's thyroid hormone--nature- throid, causes an increase in blood pressure?

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Thanks Janie. Quite interestingly, it is relatively normal today for the first time in about two weeks. Could it be that I just found out my 87 year-old mother is going into a retirement home on Tuesday:>) She has been quite a strain on me for over a year. Going to the health club I am sure will be of benefit. I just needed to ask as it is a bit scary upping your thyroid hormone when the physician refuses. I appreciate the support on this list.
