Re: Thyroid compound! EDIT:

Here is a blog from the web and this lady had good results from this thyroid compound from Colliers Pharmacy in Arkansas. She lost over 30 lbs as she was coming off of hydrocortisone. The compound tab is put under the tongue so one avoids the unnecessary fillers.

I called the doctor for my wife and he said that he has had women calling from all over the U.S. And they too are reporting good results. I will try to get some for my wife in addition to her present Iodine regimen.

Update on Thyroid Medicine

For a year I have been on the Thyroid compound prescription I special order from Collier's Pharmacy (details below) in Arkansas. I continue to love it. On the new compound medicine, I take 180mgs day which seems like the right dose for me. On Naturthroid, when I raised above 130mgs I had super freaky hyper and hypo symtpoms. Yet on the compound I can take 180mg beautifully. Weird, isn't it? So I am super happy to report feeling great now though on the compound. We affectionality call it "The Miss Lizzy Compound" -- you can ask for it by name at Colliers. Neat.
Update on Hydrocortisone
The other super big change...I weaned off Hydrocortisone! This was a huge step. I started Hydrocortisone three years ago to help with low cortisol and adrenal fatigue. And Hydrocortisone definitely helped me. But I was always a little worried that the Hydrocortisone was causing some weight gain, and perhaps had something to do with hair loss, though I wasn't totally sure. This summer I decided it was time to try weaning off Hydrocortisone. Here is what I did:
1. On STTM Janie felt she had avoided adrenal fatigue because of the high doses of Vitamin C she took daily. So I increased my Vitamin C to 2k mgs a day along with 1k mg Bioflavonoid (per Dr. Wilson's suggestion). And btw -- chewable vitamins really make it much more fun!
2. I started the process of decreasing my Hydrocortisone by 2.5mgs a week.
3. If I was stressed during the process, I would hold the dose, and then continue when I felt ready. The idea was to take care of my body and not cause shock.
4. If had I felt any adrenal fatigue symptoms, I would have stayed on the Hydrocortisone but luckily it seems my adrenals are really well healed now! YAY!!!
It took about 3 months to fully wean off the Hydrocortisone (long time, I know!). And I happy to report, I feel great. It was definitely worth it for me to be on the Hydrocortisone but it was time to try without. It's been two full months, and so far I seem to be keeping my weight down with greater easily. Over the coming months I will be observing weight gain/loss and hair volume/regrowth to see if the Hydrocortisone might have be related. And of course I will share what I learn!

Here is the info for Collier's. The pharmacist Rodney at Colliers is SO awesome. He gave us his direct phone extension for ordering the compound (479) 935-4336. Ask for "The Miss Lizzy Compound" and he will hook you up. (A doctor's prescription is of course needed and he can explain what to do.)

Edit: Just wanted to show a closer view in her article where Lizzy speaks of her life and her changing event when she found a compassionate Doctor!

But I have this amazing sister, who has tons of energy, could eat twice as much as me, run three miles no problem and stay skinny. So even without my general instinct, physiologically I knew there was something going on with me. I just didn't know what. I continued looking for answers and finally found a doctor who listened to my symptoms and didn't just look at the lab work. When he took my temperature he said:

Amazing, I thought my thermometer was broken. So I checked three times and your body temperature is 95.5 in July, that's terrible! You should be 98.6. No one ever caught this?
