Guest guest Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi, Your dosage is not constant so don't get upset by the numbers. The tests don't do a wonderful job of checking your level when you are on TRT. I get 1500mg of pellets every 4 months/120 days that disolve 24/7 at a constant rate. That amounts to a dosage of 12.5mg/day. You should not be hurting yourself with 100mg every 10 days or even 7 days which would be about 14mg/day. ernestnolan > > My most recent results were 1445 (range 241-827) on day 2 of a 10 day cycle with 100 mgs. This should be the peak and you would expect to be ~ 30% of that by day 10 or 445. Is this still too high? I originally started at 100 mgs every 7 days but on day 7 I was 1000 for T. I kept the same dose but extended the interval to 10 days at my Drs. request. Based on these numbers, should I alter my treatment? I also had my E2 checked an it was 56. Don't really have any E2 issues symptom wise. Still get night erections. My thoughts are 2 options (60 mgs every 7 days or 80 mgs every 10 days) > > > > Any experience or judgement would be appreciated. > > > > Arkansas > > > > > --------------------------------- > Music Unlimited - Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Make sure you are getting T3 as well as T4 - your thyroid hormone production has to be sufficient or you will feel depressed and tired. What are you currently taking? K what to do? Hello. New to this and hoping that I can get some help. I was misdiagnosed 15 yrs ago and only now starting to get some help. Does anyone have any good ideas for supplements for helping with the constant feelings of apathy or depression, energy boosting without caffeine?

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 IMO " bi-polar " IS hypothyroidism. I am amazed what cod liver oil plus Armour can do. I recently ran out of CLO, didn't take it for 5 days, and brain went right to hell. Gracia Welcome, I've only been here a couple of weeks. I've been dealing withe what you've described from a depression point of view for 10yrs now. Just learning about the hypothyroidism which mirrors bi polar disorder. I look forward to the others' repsonses about energy boosting. Christy > > Hello. New to this and hoping that I can get some help.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 my mother has been Dxed " bi-polar " but b4 that she was Dxed every psych label under the sun. Her life (and her kids) has been total hell. Now she is on lots of psych meds. I am just convinced she needs thyroid and adrenal meds, CLO and iodine. She actually ordered Iodoral but when it came she was addled and said she would have to ask the doc for permission. Mental illness is listed as a low iodine symptom. Also she has had a complete hysterectomy and gall bladder removed. Her TSH is always " perfect " . Horse puckey. Gracia hi Gracia - how is HypoT the same as bi-polar? I'm very interested.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hello Group, Blood Test came back normal.I have a feeling my doctor thinks I'm a crazy and........ Feel like I'm going crazy,every joint in my body hurts.My knees are killing me with the stinging, I get a crawling sensation on various parts of my body. Cant sleep and I so darn tired, my mind just keep running,brain fog, cant remember things, forgetful,depressed,paranoid,don't care about much of anything. Ear pain also behind my ear but no ear infection, not very hungry and I'm bloated and have diarrhea. Last year I spent five days in the hospital what they called a mystery illness,I couldn't stand light of any kind even the TV hurts my eyes,had cold sweats, I couldn't get warm had some vomiting and yes I had been bitten buy tics that year and this year.had antibiotics last year for a few days. Had also been bitten buy tics years ago as well and I suffer from arthritis.... Last year I had a small bulls eye, this year just a few spots where two were stuck in me. We live in a tic infested area in Northern Minnesota. Lots of deer and a elk farm very close to us. Everyone around us has/had Lymes.Even the doc across the way. I'm on medical assents, I don't think they will pay for treatment/and finding a doc that will help is almost out of the question .my income is far below poverty level. Does anyone have any suggestions for me.Is there a home remedy that works, looks like I'm going to have to doctor myself. I so sick.......

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 What test did he do and what are the band results? A false on a Lyme Test is meaningless. Get a copy of the test and look at the bands yourself.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hi, yes it is important to know where your test was done...Igenex is really the ONLY lab you should have your test done at. Also, I think it is helpful to challenge it with antibiotics before you take the test - with at least a 5 to 10 day course. It does sound like you have all the symptoms - remind your doc that even the CDC says you should diagnose based on clinical observation, area, and bite history...best wishes > > Hello Group, > Blood Test came back normal.I have a feeling my doctor thinks I'm a crazy and........ > Feel like I'm going crazy,every joint in my body hurts.My knees are killing me with the stinging, I get a crawling sensation on various parts of my body. > Cant sleep and I so darn tired, my mind just keep running,brain fog, cant remember things, forgetful,depressed,paranoid,don't care about much of anything. > Ear pain also behind my ear but no ear infection, not very hungry and I'm bloated and have diarrhea. > Last year I spent five days in the hospital what they called a mystery illness,I couldn't stand light of any kind even the TV hurt my eyes,had cold sweats, I couldn't get warm had some vomiting > and yes I had been bitten buy tics that year and this year.had antibiotics last year for a few days. > Had also been bitten buy tics years ago as well and I suffer from arthritis.... > Last year I had a small bulls eye, this year just a few spots where two were stuck in me. > We live in a tic infested area in Northern Minnesota.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Sorry to hear about your dilemma. The least expensive treatment I've heard about is the salt/c regimen, but I have not personally tried it. However if I were in your shoes, I would. You can read about it on the Lyme Strategies group. It's important as I understand it NOT to use table salt, but to get the proper salt. If you decide to try it, I would start at a very low dose, start slowly, and monitor your response. It's controversial in some circles, (esp mainstream medicine) because of the risk of increased blood pressure and accompanying cardiovascular problems, but many who use this protocol seem not to have these problems. Herbs can help a lot, but are not as inexpensive, as the best brands can be rather expensive, although you don't need prescriptions. There's also rife, but the machines require some up front investment. It's really important to be under the guidance of an LLMD. If you can't find one, what about the Dr you refer to who had/has Lyme? Maybe someone else will have some suggestions for you. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Shauna, I wanted to point out that there are other labs besides Igenix that report more extensive Western Blot bands. My Western Blots from Stony Brook turned up more positive bands than the Igenix test and although my LLMD uses multiple labs, he uses Stony Brook consistently and not Igenix. Nothing against Igenix I just think people should be aware they have choices. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 What to do?  Million dollar question.  As most folks here, I could say a lot about what's been going on with me, but I just want to put resources here I think helped me most. I do the Salt and C and some other things. I would recommend checking out www.herbsoflight.com and reading all the info he has on lyme.  I would recommend a group " alkalizing4health " and also a site the owner of that group has www.phkillscancer.com   The other thing that I haven't used yet because of the expense but have investigated and believe it is another good option is the rife machines.   Thanks,  From: opieanddelilah <opieanddelilah@...> Subject: [ ] Re: what to do?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 That is good to know - thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I have floaters that seem to swim, flipping a tail. There seems to be a distinct head area and body area, almost like brine shrimp. This doesn't fit the description of the lyme critters running rampant around my body. Don't know what they are, but I call them my pet floaties. I've mentioned it to eye docs and my LLMD.

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Yes, my floaters (squiggly black lines and dots) are a lot worse since I got Lyme. I had a few before, but now I can't look at anything light colored (like the sky) without seeing these nuisances. My eye doc says there's no cure.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Floaters are NOT funny, but when I read this I had to think of mine: When I'm outside and glance toward the sky (even if I don't actually look at the sky) my floaters often make me duck as if I'm being swooped by birds. It's GOT to be funny to people who may see me in a parking lot, and I know my husband has giggled a bit... I'm just walking or standing there and suddenly duck. LOL. Especially if you have non-normal floaters, like maybe seeing watery squiggles that only last a few minutes, it could be Ocular Migraine. My doc said there is no pain involved and that the " beautiful colors, looking like rippling water in the sunshine " might actually be that. Have to admit I'd never heard of them, so never thought I'd have them. > > Yes, my floaters (squiggly black lines and dots) are a lot worse since I got Lyme.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 I am taking college classes, working towards my Teaching degree. Sometimes I feel like having an aspie son in first grade, and a five year old daughter in Kindergarten, I feel overwhelmed with the thought of someday having a full-time teaching job on top of all the rest of the chaos in our lives. How does a family run smoothly(or as smoothly as possible) with both parent's working full-time, and with having a child with Aspergers? I'm worried that as my son gets older, he will be more demanding with his issues. Does anyone have any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Do you have a support system of family and friends who you can rely on? It could be difficult if you and your husband are handling everything yourselves, but depending on your support system and whether or not you and your husband can work together to handle the day-to-day challenges and joys, most everything is possible. I have an eight-year-old daughter and I work five hours a day on school days at a school. Your work load would be heavier, of course, but working at a school would be better than some other professions that are year-round. Good luck to you and your family! --Kari > > I am taking college classes, working towards my Teaching degree.
