I Have a Word for Hashi's But Can't Say It Here

[Guest guest]

As some of you may know, I've been self treating for over a yr (almost 1 and 1/2

now) with Armour, switched myself from T4 synthetics at that time. It has

gotten me out of my sore body, depression, and myriads of other things.

Now there's a relapse or whatever you would call it. I have very high

antibodies for both of the major ones (over 1000 and almost 2000 on the other;

as far as I know, they're still that high or are still there). I've not been

talking about this til now, til I was sure I was having a reaction specifically

to the Naturethroid. What, Naturethroid?! Yep, like so many other self

treaters, I can only find the Naturethroid, not Armour, and made this change a

couple of 100 count one grain bottles ago. Well, starting about 10 days ago, I

started getting sick and sweaty and you name it, yet I can still scarf down the

carbs, and I mean specifically high carbs. I'm still eating all the good foods,

but this craving has gotten ridiculous, but, at this point, it's not making me

feel better at all, even shortly after eating. I was still taking every single

30 mg dose of my Naturethroid (135 mgs in a 24 hr period) up until 3 days ago.

In order to determine if that's what's been causing the nausea, sweating,

shakiness, etc...I would take a dose, have the reaction, then go without the

next dose, then would feel better after skipping two more doses. As a matter of

fact, day before yesterday, I took one 30 mg dose of it, got sick as a dog, then

went without it for the rest of the day, or rather night, and felt wonderful,

even breathing, etc.!!! Then, I felt great until I took a dose yesterday

evening, and the nausea and all the rest of the nightmare started all over again

and lasted until about 1:00 in the morning, while I was at work. I never took

another dose of hormone after the dose at approximately 6:30 in the evening

yesterday. Also, important to know, my pulse was NOT up during these times, was

running it's usual 72, but my blood pressure is a little iffy right now, and has

been on and off anyway, but the pulse has been steady, NOT the temp though. I

feel wonderful for the last 6 or 7 hrs or so (it's now almost 8 in the morning

and I'm at home now). For at least the last week, every single dose of it that

I have taken has scored me a body temp of 99 degrees or over, but get this. I

just took my temp (axillary), and it's registering 97.2. This has been

happening on and off for at least the last week, so I'm absolutely POSITIVE of

the pattern of it all. It's the thyroid, or at least, it might be something

that my OWN thyroid is doing

Since I've been on the 120 mgs for at least 3 to 4 months now, then how can that

be, unLESS my own thyroid function is doing a schiz thing OR possibly a

hyperfunctioning nodule that's throwing some T3 out on it's own????????? Don't

know. I DO know that I probably need an ultra sound by now.

BTW, strange thing is that my neck has shrunk, and there is NO swelling in it,

and no pain, which lately, is unusual. NOone can tell me that I should be

taking 3 to 4 grains at this point because Hashi's glands are very strange and

unpredictable. I would think adrenal, except that I've BEEN ON THIS DOSE FOR

ALMOST 4 MONTHS NOW, SO IF IT WAS ADRENAL IN NATURE, SEEMS LIKE I WOULD HAVE

ALREADY HAD THIS PROBLEM, DUHH!!
