Leveling out Synthroid symptoms

by 1foru2nv, Oct 10, 2006 12:00AM
Hello, my Synthroid dosage was recently redueced from 112mcg to 100mcg.  Before the switch my TSH was .11.  Now on 100mcg it is .357.  I want to supplement Calcium and Magnesium for the muscle twitches and aches.  Can anyone recommend a product for this and or a dosage?  My blood Calcium #'s are 10.3.  Any help is appreciated.

I take 1000 mg Calcium and 500 mg Magnesium twice a day.  Take calcium far away from your thyroid meds.  Example: I take my thyroid meds when I first get up around 6/7 AM.  I take my first round of vitamins/minerals with foods at 11/11:30 AM and second round with foods at 5/5:30 PM.  Then I take my selenium and chromium at approx 11 PM/12 AM or just before bed.  Selenium is suggest for T-4 T-3 conversion.  Sliver is also good know for as a just about heal all, 5 drops per day and its tasteless.

I take all my vitamins/minerals separate so as I can regulate them to my specific health needs.  This can be expensive but so can a medical/hospital bill.
One-A-Days are not for people with health issues but rather more for the healthy peoples needs.

Buy natural  - no sugars, no starch, no artificial color, no artificial flavors, sodium free, no wheat, no gluten, no corn, no soy, no dairy, and yeast free...etc.  No iodine if you are hyper.  Look for expiration dates - its a law in US to have expiration dates them on and against the law to sell expired, but sometimes stores don't do a good job and they get away with it.  A few years ago my local drug store got caught but I still look for expiration dates.

I don't buy any special brand.  Just what my local drug store has that list the above and not too expensive.  I live in a small town which does not have health food store.

All vitamins/minerals work together.  One taken without the other can deplete you of another.
I suggest buy a real good nutrition vitamin/mineral book that also relates to illness and list foods that supply the vitamins/minerals.

Sorry this is long but hope it helps.

Good Luck - Good Health
