Thank You ALL!!!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Thank you so much .... again!! I am so grateful to all who responded.

Your knowledge and support are tremendous comfort and benefit to me.

You all posted more questions that may help if I answer them, so

instead of

trying to answer each one by one, I copy and pasted. As for my B/S

issues

my endo said the range was 70-110 but everyone seems to have a

different

opinion on that one. My sugars will be high before I eat and when I

get up in the

am. Sometimes my b/s will fall after a meal, really weird. Mostly my

b/s is in range

though, especially since i came off the glucophage. Im sure the

vomiting wasn't helping

my b/s. I don't seem to have low b/s though.

So here are my answers to all your questions. hope this helps.

how long you've been off the Glucophage

Over 2 weeks now, the first week I know I still felt the effects but

feel so much better now.

Illness can cause fluxuation also medicines.

Have you been on a lot of pain meds?

I haven't been ill (other than the med reaction) and I don't take pain

meds

has Endo. given adrenal support

What kind of adrenal support can be given?? The endo wasn't concerned

too much with this lab result

but the thyroid, progesterone and insulin levels worried him more.

NORMALLY, women

will have super heavey periods if they have no progesterone..

I have had a tubal and endimetrial ablation so I no longer have

periods... but they were getting so

bad the gyn was afraid I was going to need transfusions or more drastic

interventions.

I take Synthroid

for my hypothyroidism and has worked well.

My endo was concerned that synthroid could have side effects that could

affect my liver and other organs

so he opted for the more natural supplement - armor.

Be very careful with that stuff it

interferes with thyroid meds..I

think its the T3 component..it was in research papers I read

My metabolic doc knew i was on the thyroid meds when she added the

lypoic acid to my cocktail,

but I will email her about this question and ask the endo. this week.

Have you changed dose or brand of any of the cocktail

before you started feeling so poorly?

No, the only change at the time was the glucophage, other than that I

feel tired and run down all the time,

nothing has really changed that. I know they still don't have my

thyroid at maximum but they want to increase

the meds gradually.

Again, Thank you all so much. You and your families are constantly in

my thoughts and prayers.
