Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 I was unable to go above 37.5 mg Armour, had low blood pressure, highest was 75/70 sheet white, couldn't stand up, had aldosterone of 4 with range of 6-44, low renin but I forget the range, low ferritin and unable to get out of bed or off the couch for longer than an hour a day. Severe runs, trouble breathing. Because I am fat no believed I had such severe issues. He looks at the facts and then treats. He also has let me self medicate, or raise as needed since my levels were so low to begin with. I am now on 3 grains armour, 18 mg synthroid, 100 mg florinef and large amounts of folic acid and iron.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Wow! I am so sorry! Glad that things are turning around for you. I think if ANYONE can help you HE will be the one. There is another one further up north that takes medical as Oregon University hospital up there. Apparently him, and his collegues are pretty good. He is the pituitary specialist, but he has an adrenal doc that works with him. Dr Ludlam, and Dr Cook <--- both suppose to be good docs and listen to you. Glad you found a keeper! AND it certainly is worth the money if it gets you to feeling better eh? I have a couple more months here and I could be headed that way!

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 he is not a Dr for some that holds your hand, it is like he expects you to partner with him. At least that is my take on it, but he was able to think outside the box. Re: Jamy - Goodhormonehealth Doc. Wow! I am so sorry! Glad that things are turning around for you.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hey that is good though. Does he not practice like in the evening and do mostly research and stuff during the day? I heard he only takes patients on Wed nights? Or something like that? Canasa > he is not a Dr for some that holds your hand, it is like he expects you to partner with him.
