How do you feel?

[sheenah in reply to gabkad]

Yeah - pretty good, NOT tired, more energy, no brain fog, (apart from that which comes with age) very pleased I found this site (otherwise I would still be all of the above) The only thing I am disappointed about is the lack of weight loss, and as it seems that I have put a stone on around my boobs it's not very funny!!! Still, this has been a long time in the arriving - years - and realistically I don't expect to it to sort itself out overnight, but at least I hope I have sorted the old thyroid out.......for now........XX

I did a vega test recently. I went on a candida and anti fungal regime. Also said i had to go gluten free,no sugar and various no nos to help my adrenals. I been told all tests ok bt i dnt feel ok. First to lose weight was boobs. Looking trimmer now. Not on meds except for nutri thyriod and adrenals for support as my result shows on border.

Those results look excellent Sheenah. Well done. What dose are you on now?

Lurvly bloods, Sheenah How much NDT are you taking?

[sheenah]

OOoohhh... Don't think I've got any of them left - I had it "all took away" (as they say in certain parts of the North of England) when I was 31 and that was 30 years ago! However I do surprise my husband occasionaly but then regret it as I have difficulty moving around for 2 days!! The only thing I have still not managed to rid myself of is swollen ankles and the damn hand eczema, although that is slowly getting better xx

[gabkad in reply to sheenah]

sheenah, there is some evidence to indicate Lactobacillus plantarum probiotic will help with eczema.

You can get L. plantarum capsules on line or at the healthfood store. There are several studies published on PubMed that indicate this helps.

Many thanks for this - I'll give it a go! I also use natural progesterone cream - but not for the eczema obviously - As for the "boobling" - a wonderful description, I think I am simply developing the matronly chest of my foremothers - my sis is twice as big as me - I don't know how she copesXX

[gabkad in reply to sheenah]

sheenah, 'other bits' make estrogen too or you wouldn't be boobling now.
