    Hi loraleena, I have IC and I have to say it has for the most part gone away after I stopped eating gluten. My doctor did ask me about that and if it had been better. I still seem to go a lot more than normal but the pain is for the most part gone now. I don't know if it helps but I use a heating pad on my back not my front with my knees up and it help...

    Hi loraleena, Your number is higher than mine. Are they still that high? What did your doctor say about what was the cause of them to be so high? I will look at Dr. Lowe's web page tonight, thank you for letting me know about it. I want to find as much help as possible. The pain is real hard to take. I don't want to take pain medication because I...

    Hi Rachel, Thank you for all this info it is all so hard to understand. It is even harder when you feel so sick. I know you know the feeling. I can't beleive that people out there realy do care. It helps to get as much input as possible somehow it makes feeling like this better. I know there is an answer and you are one that keeps giving me...

    Hi Geogie, Thank you for getting back to this so fast. (757) is the last test the same one as before. I have not been asked to repeat the test yet, she requested I do it in 2 to 4 months. At this point I feel let down by my HMO and they did not make it clear about why my Anibodies are so high they said "Your antibodies are positive consistent with the...

    Georgie and Nutralady, Thank you for all this information, I am going to print this up and take it to the doctor with me the next time I go. I did not know about the T1 and T2, I am going to get the test results in the mail any day now and I will most deffanatly take a look into getting info on where I can buy it, if my doctor will not give it to me....

    Hi dionnek, She said it had something to do with the T3 and that if you start taking Armour your 3T will become dependant on it. She also said that most people on Armour are old people who were started on it years ago. It seems that most doctors with HMO plans are not wanting to put people on Armour. When that happens it makes me feel that maybe it...

    Hi Everyone, I went to the GP yesterday, she said my T4 was a little high and my T3 was normal. She said she had no idea why I am having so much pain all over my body. I had brain fog and forgot to ask her about the Anti TPO levels. She gave me a new dose on the thyroid meds and said they don't put people on Armur anymore and gave me a long story of...

    Hi nutralady, Thanks for your information. I am going to the GP tomorrow morning and this info will help when she shows me the test result. I am hoping that someone made a mistake on reading them to me over the phone. If not I am getting a copy of the results and going to a private practice doctor as a last resort. None of what this new doctor is doing...

    Hi georgie, I went to a new doctor to request Armour for my thyroid and she did some tests and is sending me back to my GP. She said Armour is not a good idea for me because my TSH is on the high side, she said my test result are consistant with Hashimotos and is lowering my thyroid medication. I am realy confused about what is going on. Why is the Anti...

    Hi Carla, If you feel anything like what I feel, I hope you never have another stressful time again, it just is not worth the pain. I know having a big family and all the things that go with that can be stressful. You do seem to have a great additude about things and are trying to help others. I think that is what keeps me going most of the time, and...

    Hi Carla, Thanks, I called them and they are closed for the holiday, I will call them asap and order the kit. Sorry, I missed the info on your first post, just feeling real bad and not thinking real good. I have one more thing, did having Lyme have something to do with being gluten free for you? Is it part of having Lyme? Happy new year! Cathy
  15. CatandCanary
    Hi Rachel, Great info on all of this, how do you go about getting tested by Igenix? As I remember one of the people on my street when I was about 13 years old got Lyme from firewood he had in is back yard, I used to feed thier dog and water the lawn for them when he got sick. Thanks Cathy

    Hi Georgie, I am taking something called Levothroid for Synthroid/L-Thyroxin. I have been told before about Armour and I am going to ask my doctor to put me on that instead. Does Armour cause adrenal function problems? And what kind of meds help with adrenal function? How do they check for Adrenal function? Because I am also tired a lot. I have...

    Hi Carla, I was wondering about that years ago when things got bad for me. I love horses and spent most of my childhood on trails in shorts and tank tops no sadles and no bug spray. I asked a doctor about it a long time ago but maybe it is time to ask again? It looks like there is no test, is that correct? How do you find out if you realy have it...

    Hi Guhlia, I have been finding things as fast as possible and cleaned out the house of anything suspect. I do share my dest at work and wipe everything down when that happens, my husband is gluten free, my pets are gluten free. I can't eat out because it seems nothing works out. I always get a reaction of some kind and it feels like being in food jail...

    Hi Nancy, I'm sorry your having a bad time, the hollidays can not only make you tired but tax your emotional state. Some years are better than others and your having a not so good one. I bet if you were feeling better, none of this would realy bother you at all. You need to take it easy on yourself and who cares what the family thinks, I'm sure none...
