How could I feel 20% better yesterday and now feel 40% worse today?
I'm not on any thyroid precription meds.....yet.
I'm trying to see if I can build them up more naturally first, as I also have adrenal fatigue, I'm treating still.
I did do errands in town yesterday, cause I felt better, and I went to the indoor gym swim pool and did some light exercise there. Than this morning, I woke up feeling sooooo weak, more headachy, Depression and increased anxiety. I also feel fatter each day.
This is what I've been taking the past weeks daily basis:
Selenium 100-200 mc.g
B-Complex, Co-enzyme
Vitamin C, 1,000 mg.
magnesium, calcium, zinc formula
Vit. D
Pantothenic acid 500mg.
Cod liver oil
I'm considering getting T-100 (a non prescription) that contains 100mg. of Thyroxin free bovine thyroid tissue, Iodine from sea vegetables, and a few other things.
It really hurts me when my husband asks me if I want to go for a walk with him, as we used to walk together 1 mile a day, and now I can only still walk for about 10 minutes, as a slow pace. Some days maybe 15.
I've been treating my adrenals for 10 months now, so with the lingering symptoms still and weight gain, and my recent thyroid test with T4and T3 a bit low, I know it is that.
I'm afraid to try Armour, as my doctor suggested it once.
I did have a bad reaction 8 years ago with the very first dose, bad anxiety ( so bad had take a Valium) but, I also had severe adrenal issues than and did not know about the thyroid.
But, now that I've been treating the adrenals for a long time, could'nt it be the thyroid that is now causing even the anxiety, as it is causing stress on my adrenals?
I'm saving Armous Thyroid as a last result. I'm so tired of being tired and so tired of all the research etc.
I pray to my God for instruction and wisdom, in how to go.
A very bad day, sigh.......

T-100 (beef derived) will be a poor choice - you are not a cow! The hormone balances are for cattle and are irregular from pill to pill. Same deal with Armour (from pigs) - you are not a pig! Using such products results in not getting regulated properly, stressing you system out even more.
You need to start with thyroxine. It is the keystone to help rebalance your endocrine levels. Getting T4 regulated will support your body to balance the rest. You need to be on a consistant dosage for 6-8 weeks and get a full thyroid panel retested then have your levels adjusted. Talk to your endocrinologist. Don't put off getting better.
Your supplement list looks good, I suggest adding an iron supplement (using castiron cookware is also good) as well as continuing a good diet - don't forget the chocolate :)

This is a reply to # 1,375,556Yes, they are the same T4 replacement.
You need to replace the missing T4 - supplements help, but they're not a substitute.
Bear with me for a sec...
Compare being hypothyroid as a car with flat tires - the car is still driveable, but inefficient (like a hypothyroid person). Add air (ie T4) to the tires and it becomes more efficient, but the right amount needs to be provided - too much or too little won't do.
Iodine supplementation is fine, but it will not replace the missing T4. If you can't tolerate the drops well, foods like eggs, cheddar cheese, fish, and sushi with seaweed all are Iodine rich.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,375,448Iodine Iodine iodine Iodine iodine! Go to Trapper et al at the Iodine support forum to check out all the good ideas there.
Is iodine on your list?
IMHO I wish I never started thyroxine. I think my thyroid (the remaining portion of what was surgically removed) got lazy with thyroxine.
Try iodine first.

This is a reply to # 1,375,536Thank you both for your posts. Both with opposing views too.
I am going to try a very natural sourse of Iodine from brown seaweed. I found a good product, as a few others have had very good results on it.
I tried the liquid, one drop, of Lugol's and had bad anxiety from it. So, think a more natural form from seaweed will be not as aggressive.

This is a reply to # 1,375,536You had part of your thyroid removed? Reason,?
And you've been on Thyroxine T4? Are you still on it?
Has it helped at all? Did you go off it? Or ever try Armour?
Sorry.

This is a reply to # 1,376,873Hi
I highly reccomend you stay away from Synthyroid and Thyroixne. Agreed that we are neither cow nor pig they are far and away closer to physiology than anything a money mongering drug lab can make.
Its not true that levels of natural thyroid supplements are uneven! that's endocrinologist hype! natural thyroid supplements have all 4 types of Thyroid hormones. YPU NEED ALL FOUR NOT JUST T4!
I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis which is the label given to T3 antibodies out pacing T3 production.
I fought with my endo and got Amour as thyroxines make me INSANE!!
I also take Lugol's 2xs a week, 1-2 drops. I may add to this depending on how I feel. give yourself 20 minutes to rest and adjust after taking Lugol's or any Iodine as its cleaning you blood very quickly and that's a lot of work that might not 'feel' great.
Please read up on natural thyroid supplements before taking anyone's word on the board as thyroid is so personal. if you listen it will literally tell you what you need. Go by how you feel in your body and use the blood test and doctors as assistants...you are in charge!
