Its all in the tests!!

Hello again,l haven't blogged as l have been FED up with feeling like crap..
Hypo-Hyper-Hypo ..and just low...
l did loose 2kg when l was Hyper for a fortnight and  got to 86kg for 4 days!
until l lowered my Armour again...now l am 88kg AGAIN..

BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS....
l had my appointment at my Dr's on 18Th July ( later than planned as SPAIN got in the
world cup final and we went into town to watch it on a huge big screen! it was a brilliant night
though l did have to stay in bed for the 2days after..my legs were so achy !as well as the rest of my body l
was praying the game didn't go to penalties, extra time was bad enough!l ended up sitting on the floor the sweats were at there best!l felt like l had been in a swimming pool with my clothes on!)
Any way l've wandered! we had a good talk about my symptoms, he thought it was all down to the low
dose of armour l was on 1/4 grain. He again wanted me to up my dose but l explained l had tried on a number of occasions but had become hyper and the sweats had got worse..l also explained that as l had
been so hypo for five weeks l wanted to keep a good base line so he would be able to see where l really was blood test wise..TSH T4 T3 and ANTI- TPO ...he said that had been good thinking...(got something right)
l also said that l felt l had returned to how l had been when l first saw him,  not able to wake in the morning
and by early evening getting a bit more energy until bed time when l was totally wide awake and couldn't sleep.l have been so highly strung and jumpy!l have been like this since l was about 12years old..My family still joke that l only woke up when the News at Ten came on! l'd get all chatty and started doing things, when they were all winding down and ready for bed! Any way l think he took on board how l felt..He again said to up the Armour dose which l did the day after seeing him..by an extra 1/8 grain, l took it for 4days but became Hyper and when the family say SHUT UP!you have to listen! l was like a over active Duracell battery!...l felt dreadful...
     He said NOT to contact him during August as he was on holiday but to update him before the end of July
as to how l was feeling ,so he could take that into consideration when he was assesing my test results..
so l emailed him on the 29th July telling him all.....
l have an appointment booked for 25th August to speak with him by phone for the follow up
Then last night l received an email...
 My Dr said l was extremely hypothyroid ( l knew that) and that my Adrenals were not functioning ( not surprising as they stopped being treated in January ,and l sort of knew that, but thought he knew best)
he said l needed to UP the Armour (not possible) and to start taking the DHEA/pregnenalone immediately!
l guess he has received my test results ( l still haven't)  it will be interesting to see the results myself..
                                 SO l START AGAIN!!.
MY PLAN IS....
l have lowered my dose of Armour to 1/8th grain..(hopefully will help stop the sweats)
l have taken 1/2 of a capsule of the DHEA/Pregnenalone today (as l had trouble in January when he upped 
my prescription by another 5mcg of pregnenalone)
l was thinking today it might well have been, that l had reached good levels of DHEA in December.so l couldn't take anymore..then by stopping completely l have become depleted again..( what do you think?)
l will continue to take this dose for another week..
then l will take a whole capsule for a further week....
if this goes well and l feel OK.......
 l will up my Armour to 1/4 grain AGAIN  and see what happens!
by then it will be appointment time so l can tell him how I'm doing!
 in the mean time l will also continue to follow the thyroid diet plan
and see if and when l start to loose weight as l believe that is a good indication of
my metabolism working better .....
so here l go ...l will be posting how I'm doing....l feel there is hope AGAIN..
maybe l will start to disappear again?
please do leave a comment if you call by, l appreciate any help or thoughts or just a hello!
hello to Em ...thanks for starting to follow!
  thank you
