Re: Ferritin Questions and cancer thoughts/clotting

[Guest guest]

Could it be that low thyroid/need for Armour is part of the cramping business

with periods too? My middle daughter is starting to have horrible cramps with

her periods. I have been treating her low ferritin first and waiting to treat

her thyroid, but, now I am thinking that I should start her on 1/2 grain also.

Thoughts anyone?

yep. same here. i get a bit mad thinking about it now - all those years i

suffered so.

and my cycle went from 32 days down to 28 days.

but ya know what is weird - i never mentioned menstrual disorder to a doctor.

and i don't know why. i guess i just thought it was part of getting older.

AH, If I can remember that long ago... LOL I used to plan on a day or two a

month being bed ridden from cramps. The doctors all played it down like I was a

big baby, and when I got in my teens they tried BC pills too, but I couldn;t

take them as they made me very ill. I do remember walking down the Kotex aisle

in the grocery store on my way home form the hospital after my hyst... laughing

so hard I about fell over with my belly full of clamps.. my sister thought I was

nuts, but it was thinking I would never have to deal with another period or

cramp again as long as I lived!

same thing to them at funerals

i used to have terrible cramps when hypo...so that i dosed up with extra

strength tylenol every 4 hours. after armour, i have taken maybe one tylenol

the

first or second day when i had minor cramping. so i do know it was a factor

for me. i think some minor cramping can be normal...but not major cramping.
