Re: How do you tell? (for Amelia)

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Amelia. I qualify for adrenal problems, I think. I have a fatty

tumor on one gland - the doc says no problem because it's not growing,

but I do get hormones checked once in a while and cortisol has been

high. I was on synthroid for years, then armour thyroid for hypothyroid,

but then my TSH went really low, so I weaned off of it and now my TSH

stays low normal. When I started thyroid medication in 1988 it made the

biggest difference of anything I had ever done. Then when my second

child was born when I was 40 it was as if I wasn't even taking it. My

doc had me increase dosage, but made me feel tight in my chest, so went

back to my regular dose. Then a few years ago went off all together. I

was taking iodine until I started the intro diet last Mon. Will probably

add it back in soon. I've seen that website before. Will review it again

- thanks! We are wonderfully and fearfully made!!

Hi Debbie

Did you feel good when your tsh was really low?

Also there is no point in taking thyroid medication if your ferritin is low that could explain the tightness in the chest.
