....... It seems I am cured. But in last several occassions, i cured for first one week by medicine and POIS used to bounce back. But this time that does not happen and it is already 15 days, I am out of POIS. Now, I am enjoying normal mental health in last 7 years. For last 7 years, I was in continuos POIS except some break for a week. I wanted to wait another 15 days and confirm that there is no POIS bounce back on me, then I will post the treatments taken by me, with scientific reason. I will be back on March 1st with happy news.
Urano, thanks for the Thyroid explanation. As I've discussed with you offline, I seem to have thyroid readings similar to you, with RT3 levels above range. Consequently my Free T3 : RT3 ratio is super low. As you touched upon, the medical community disagrees about the role RT3 plays in our bodies and many doctors don't think that high levels indicate a problem. That said, the fact that supplemental T3 helps you suggests otherwise. I wish more POISers had their RT3 levels tested, as it would be helpful to know whether high RT3 is a trend among us. I'm not quite ready to try supplemental T3 as that seems like a big step to me, but maybe one day.
I'd never heard of the CT3M method before you mentioned it just now. i did some reading one it. I like how in addition to raising T3 it naturally increases cortisol production. I'd venture to guess that many of us here have insufficient cortisol production. I'm certainly in that camp, so perhaps if i ever go down the T3 pathway I'll be able to do the CT3M thing and be able to forgo the supplemental hydrocortisone.
Hi everyone, I took zinc and vit B 6 tab as suggested by herman only for 3 days. During that day, my blood pressure was gone to 160 and doctors told that it shows your zinc and Vit B6 are normal and there is no need to take supplements and he confirmed that it is not related to my POIS. Later, I consulted, the another doctor, (new) explained all the symtoms and he told he knows how to cure this problem. He give me scientific reason for the POIS He suggested me the tablet for one month. I started taking it, For first one week, I found slight relief, from second week onwards, POIS started diminishing and at the end of second week, my entire POIS cured. Presently I am in end of one month and there is no POIS symtoms at all. Yesterday I had three o's and today three. nothing happens. It seems I am cured. But in last several occassions, i cured for first one week by medicine and POIS used to bounce back. But this time that does not happen and it is already 15 days, I am out of POIS. Now, I am enjoying normal mental health in last 7 years. For last 7 years, I was in continuos POIS except some break for a week.

Friends cure for POIS is very very simple basic thing, but all of us here we forget, finally form that doctor, i came to know about this as he had experience of some patients some patients facing POIS due to that proble.
Quote from: kurtosis on 15/03/2013 15:59:16T3 therapy? That's interesting. One of the main causes of elevated serum calcium is hyperparathyroidism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperparathyroidismYou could have this but have low vitamin D which masks it. See http://www.acssurgerynews.com/fileadmin/content_pdf/fpn/archive_pdf/vol37iss4/70214_main.pdfI take around 5000-6000IU of vitamin D / day. How much were you taking?I don't think I have hyperparathyroidism - hyperparathyroid adenoma. My PTH (Parathormone) is now on the floor, where it is supposed to be due to excess calcium:Parathormone 3,3pg/ml *[12-72]Calcium 10,80 *[8.6-10.7]Phosphorus 4.70 [2.5-5.0]Vit D3 85 [50-100]When I had a lower D level (and before starting T3), it was:Parathormone 15,4pg/ml [12-72]Calcium 9,60 [8.6-10.7]Phosphorus 4.30 [2.5-5.0]Vit D 23 [50-100]Don't you agree this would rule out a PT issue?The elevated calcium has happened twice in a row in latest labs, even if T3 doses where very different and I stopped calcium supplementation in the meantime.Too much T3 (hypethyroidism) can lead to elevated calcium and bone loss, but I don't feel hypethyroid and thyroid labs are not very indicative when on T3.I don't get the link between T3 and hyperparathyroidism instead. I am going to have a DEXA scan anyway to check if osteopenia is an issue.To say it all, I've had a (giant cell) bone tumor last year at right elbow and eventually a surgery for it. So PTH level is one of the things I checked to rule out a PT adenoma. As you see life can be complex (at least mine).If you have other ideas on this tricky situation feel free to tell me, if it becomes too specific and a bit off topic you can message me.I think in fact I told you the story of my D dosing in a pvt message. I experimented many ways to D dosing.I've seen the paradox of low serum D levels after 10000/20000UI daily (couldn't absorb that brand/batch).I've also tried megadoses of 100000UI every 20 days (equivalent to 5000UI) and it worked, but I was perplexed by the possible spikes and valleys.Then, before the last lab, I preferred a steady 5000UI daily (and I could absorb that).Now if I've cut it it down to 5000UI every 2 days (equivalent to 2500UI daily), which I'll possibly suspend for awhile before next labs (I will survive)I want D to decrease on purpose to see if calcium will eventually get normal. Or it is T3 that's messing up things (unlikely, but to be proved).If you are taking 5000/6000UI that might be perfect for you, I just suggest you check your D levels and possibly serum calcium regularly and don't rely just on suggested dosage, you never know how much you absorb, how much you produce from sunshine etc... Taking magnesium, zinc and K2 can be a good idea anyway.

I've been taking 1000UI of D3 for about 3 weeks and I took for the four past days 5000Ui daily ; I had 4 O this week end and I feel pretty good today(lets say 20% symtomatic) ; Based on my experience the probability for me to be OK was 5% so the D vit is maybe involved.I'm resistant to pretty much everything, I tried numerous complement without any success ; The problem is I 've no idea how to find out that a suplements works/make symptoms worse/it will works in some days or week/worst at a certain dosage or in combinaison with something else because there is tons of parameters involved like food, stress an other suplement that I took a week before, biologic cycle or disease cycle, sun, etcNow I stopped everything, i'll just try to take D3 5000Ui for a month and see what happens
Nathan,I am glad that you found something that works for you. According to what I saw you have low thyroid. Or impaired thyroid. So I am not sure what you are taking now, but it could be iodine , lecitin , inositol, vitamin D, and B group and zinc.You mentioned that you are estrogen dominant, so progesterone pill would help too. But it is not a cure. I am not sure why couldnt you share with us what you are taking. I guess you are too busy having SEX.)))
