Synthetic Thyroid Medicane Weaning day 7

Journal Entry 7

Day 7 -today

 

 

Layed awake in bed from 9:30pm to 1pm`

 

Extremely sweaty and irratible today , body temperature this morning 96.9

 

Took 1 capsules Solaray brand Thyroid Blend SP - 26 Herbal Supplement

 

Feel very tired, and gained 3 lbs now already. I been drinking biotine

clay in water every two hours.

 

IT IS impossible for me to do the total body cleanse program for the

fact that the herbs for the total tonic or not alll available here and

no way IN HECK my husband will let me buy it from doc for $44 . I may

be able to get the total cleanse 1 but I have also thought about using

the cleanseSMART 2 part detox system since it is sold in our Food Coop

Organic supermarket.

 

I dont know how you tell if your thyroid is kicking in.

 

My neck is really soar (not my throat) I am reallly sweaty today but

have low temperature.

 

I have been doing my research and I think I know the cause of my

hypothyroid.:

 

 

Too much stress, nicotine, (used to smoke - quite 5 years ago)

caffeine, skipped meals, (even if all my meals are fresh organic) and

too little relaxation and sleep leads to adrenal burnout.

When the adrenal cannot function properly, the thyroid cannot function

properly.

 

I think I need to treat myself for adrenal and thyroid. I am constantly

on fight or flight untill burnout for the past 8years and I think thats

what caused my thyroid disfunction 5 years ago.

 

_*I am wondering if I should buy cortisol to use as well ? ??? *_any ideas

 

 

No Levoxythyroxine for a full week. I feel really tired though, but

cant fall asleep even when I take homeopathic sleep aide.

 

 

Thx

I can only tell you my symptoms when my thyroid is working, and this would be while I'm still taking synthroid medication. I will not sleep well, sweaty, and hyper. This is when my meds will have to be reduced. When my thyroid is too low, I'll be tired, sleepy all the time, bitchy, etc. This is when the doctor will increase the meds.

 

The time I stopped taking my meds was several years ago, and I probably don't remember every symptom. I was extremely tired, slept 12-15 hours per day, didn't have enough energy to eat, weakness, headaches, etc.

 

I have not stopped my meds yet, but I'm the one that plan to in the future. I'm glad you are sharing your story with us. My thyroid symptoms have never been textbook symptoms. I've never had a weight problem even though my thyroid was low. The first time I attempted to get my prescription filled, the druggist wouldn't fill it because he said the doctor wrote the wrong medication. When I asked why he thought this, he said I was too skinny to have a low thyroid.

 

Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Hi Irene,

 

I was just reading my book Let's Eat Right To Keep Fit by Adele

Davis, and came across this section:

" Toxic goiter is a condition which appears to occur when the liver

has been so damaged that it cannot produce enzymes necessry to

inactivate any thyroid hormone not needed; hence the hormone

accumulates, causing the activities of all body cells to be

accelerated, The person with a toxic goiter is therefore nervous,

high-strung, over-active and usually underweight; he has a rapid

pulse, may be frighteningly aware if each heartbeat and his body

requirements for all nutrients skyrocket. It has been pointed out

that his symptoms are identical to those of a person severely

deficient in magnesium, which he may indeed lack. If he can obtain 2

to 6 mg of iodine daily with a high-protein diet generously

supplemented with magnesium, calcium, and all vitamins, the liver

damage can be overcome and health rebuilt without surgery. "

 

She also writes: " When persons with underactive thyroid glands have

been given daily both 4 mg of iodine (the amount supplied by a tsp

of kelp) and 600 units of vit E, the amount of iodine taken up by

the gland and the quantity of thyroid hormones in the blood have

each increased almost immediately and markedly. "

 

She writes a lot more of this condition and various thyroid

deficiencies. Let me know if you want more of this.

 

love

Lisa
