Re: thyroid results-

[Guest guest]

Thanks - I haven't read it for awhile but maybe I need to

review and reconsider. I have read many times how you shouldn't rely

on blood tests. Yet I believed that after being on ST3 for 6mos

should have had some effect on my temps ( & other symptoms), but they

remain consistently low (95-96ish). My adrenals are in really bad

shape too, so I began to think that I was barking up the wrong tree

with thyroid issues. My doctor felt that if I didn't feel any

different " off " thyroid meds, then my thyroid isn't the problem. Its

so hard to figure out what's what with so many overlapping problems!

AI says to treat adrenals first, I seem to remember you were having

trouble getting HC weren't you. I only treated thyroid after 8-9

months on AI supps (and 6 months on HC and 6 months post chelation)

how far up in does did you go with the T3 on the wilson protocol

It tokk me almost a month or more to capture my temp the first time

and its kinda a confusing process if your mind is messed up like mine

was/is

I think I had to go into the 90-95 mcgs of T3 for it to work the

first time and then coming down i had to stop the decrease and

increase a few more times..to capture the temps

Did you feel worse doing the T3...the other thing to keep in mind is

that wilson says on his site that there are maybe 10-15% of people

with thryoid problems that his treatment does not work for...so it

just may be the time in your chelation that is effecting you or your

low adrenals

I know its a lot and a conundrum as to what to treat first, but AI

says adrenals must be operating better before attempting thyroid

if your temps are this low then i would guess that thryoid is a

problem but one you will have to deal with later..In the interiom you

may wnat to just take selenomethioine at doses per AI ( see pages

134, 138, 162)

I don't believe AI mentions that selenomethionine is helpful for

thyroid but I believe Jackie indicated that Julei anderson suggests

it for thyroid and it is part of the wilson protocol supps for

thyroid. Its maybe a little more passive help for thryoid than T3

AI suggests it for rendering mercury inert (I guess it buys you some

time until you can chelate the mercury)...

This is supposed to help with thryoid and also

Good luck keep the faith

----------As would say, " dopey doctor #2 " gave me Armour thyroid

before treating my adrenals, and I crashed harder every afternoon on this, and

finally quit, and quit seeing him So I can personally attest to the

statement, to treat adrenals first!----------Jackie

---------I have done *alot* of adrenal support for the last 1-2 years, and I

believe my thyroid and temps have improved somewhat, just on that. I have taken

some supps to support my thyroid, but I'm not on any thyroid hormone.

Unfortunately, I haven't tracked my temps much, but I believe I used to be in

the 97's alot, and now I seem to be in the low 98's, and I just took my temp

right now, and it was normal, 98.6! And this does make sense, as I do feel

pretty good today. So I do believe that adrenals play a big part in this

also.----------Jackie

----------I haven't been able to keep up with posts and follow this whole

thread, but I believe it is the Dr. Rind website that talks about symptoms and

temperatures being a mixture of adrenals and thyroid. If I remember right,

steady but low, means thyroid only, fluctuating means adrenal, and fluctuating

and low means both. So you might want to check that out. I think it's

www.drrind.com --------------Jackie

----------Dopey doctor #2 was the first one to tell me that selenium helps the

body convert T4 into T3, so I was already taking it when I went to see ,

and she confirmed this, and told me to continue taking it. So yes it can help,

but probably isn't enough in alot/some cases.-----------Jackie
