Hi everyone,
Hoping to get some help with a friend of mine. They have been doing peat diet etc for a number of years with great success. Recently they switched from cynoplus / cynomel to NDT (thyroid_s) She did have to go 6 days without meds and now is extremely hypo. TSH 14.8, t4 6.0 and t3 1.8.
She understands that dosage should be slowly increased but in this instance the hypo is causing horrible symptoms, aches, fatigue, rapid pulse and arrythmia, severe adrenalin etc Can she rapidly increase dosage to relieve symptoms and lower later? And what would be the safest way to do this? Higher dose on waking and 1/4 or 1/2 grains spread out through the day?
Currently on 1/2 grain on waking and 1/2 at 2pm was so ill this morning she had a 1/4 at 10am and this took away symptoms. She is doing all she can to stop Adrenalin with diet, salted sugared oj overnight. Spot on diet with good protein, gelatin, carbs from fruit, sugar and honey, skim milk, cheese, shellfish etc. glycine helps a little but she really needs a quick solution.
Bag breathing has also helped. Funny thing is temps and pulse are spot on at 36.6+ on waking with 82bpm and these markers always increase after eating to 37+ and 88bpm. End of day around 3pm temps are always 37.5+
We know she should try to cap at 2 grains and only go to 3 grains max just wondering how fast we can get her there.
Thanks all really need your help
Cheers
