Feeling Fat, Fuzzy & Frazzled
Nov 04, 2008 01:13PM in the Thyroid Disorders Community
I was doing better with hair loss, but it's back... It feels like I'm intaking more vitamins than food these days. It's getting complicated trying to work them all around each other. No calcium or iron near Synthroid, no calcium near iron, nothing near Protonix, and can't even drink water 3 hours before bed (reflux). The endo did a complete work up in June...

I do believe the information in the book. I do think my blood tests are "normal" but hormones aren't making it to the cellular level. I'm scientific just enough to understand that concept. My endo doesn't think there is any difference between Synthroid and Levoxyl, and he is unwilling to prescribe Cytomel, at least to me, so I've been researching like mad to ...

Has anyone read the Shames' book of the above title, recommended by Mary Shoman? I just breezed through it and am wondering if I should invest $200 in the recommended supplements, or if this is just another example of a doctor trying to relieve me of some of my money?

Ok, I need to comment on a few comments: Be careful with fiber. If you add fiber to your diet (Quinoa), it can change your med requirements. Yes, it is ok to not take a pill one day a week. Our bodies are SO individual and temperamental. Sometimes there isn't a pill in the dosage we need (for example, 105). So it is common to either take a half pill on...

Probably, but it will take awhile. Make sure you're not B12 deficient or anemic, because both of those contribute to hair loss as well. And if you take any antacids/stomach meds, read the labels because they can either cause hair loss or inhibit vitamin absorption which then can cause hair loss. For now, try a hair/nail/skin vitamin and Nioxin shampoo and ...
Alcohol Intolerance???

I like sambucca and port. Had only 3 shots of sam at office xmas party over 4 hours with dinner, along with a huge Voss sparkling water. Never was tipsy. Got up in the middle of the night to pee and proceeded to pass out on my ceramic tile bathroom floor. I was able to grab the towel rack as I was going down, so didn't hit hard. Apparently didn't make enough ...
