Guest guest Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hello Vivien I read your posts and just wondered if you have had an Extended Glucose Tolerance test...my husband has suffered for three years with his hypothyroidism, hashimoto's and was just not getting better after lots of test he found he was suffering from Reactive Hypoglycemia...but he is , like you, not diabetic This went part way to explain his dizziness, palpatations and sweating/ anxiety / panic attacks We also got a 24 hour adrenal test done and it showed his adrenals are weak at certain times of the day and this affects your blood sugar regulation and lots of other things such as how T4's are converted and absorbed into the body google " reactive hypoglycemia adrenals " ....it lists symptons most of which my husband has He is now on a low GI diet[ kigh protein, low carbohydrates/ no refined sugar] and just today started Nutri Adrenal Extra supplements to tyr to boost the strength and stability of his adrenals which we hope will then help address his hyopthyroidism and his hypoglycemia I hope you don't mind me sending you a message like this and I hope you are making progress and feeling ok Ruth Ps your English is perfect! PPs I have had all the same problems with doctors ...they do not like it when you know more than they do! Our GP even said " I don't know anything about Reactive Hypoglycemia " ......!!!!!!! ARGH!!!! > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Dear friends, My 54 year old brother came over today looking very jaundiced, and told us that he had cancer. He has a tumor on his bile duct 4cmx5cm and will be getting a shunt inserted tomorrow. They will also remove some lymph nodes to see if it has metasticized. Then, depending on the results, they will either do chemo, surgery, & more chemo. It's too soon to know exactly. I did some research on bile duct tumors and it does not look good, especially if it has metasticized. Dim prognosis. He also has m.s. and has been on that interferon medication, avonex, for 15 years. (I have begged him to try to wean himself off of that med, but he wouldn't consider trying that.) This is going to be a tough one. He eats mostly organic food (at my suggestion a few years back)and lives cleanly. Is there any complementary treatment or supplement that anyone who has had experience with this type of cancer can suggest for him. Thank you all very much.
