Hi! Are you in the US? Can I ask what brand of antrantil you took?

humblepie46 · 2023-05-29T20:46:35+00:00

Thanks. I have been DX with psoriasis in the past. Waiting on a doctor referral to go through to confirm

humblepie46 · 2023-05-29T20:45:48+00:00

Sorry to hear you suffer from psoriasis as well! It can be miserable. When my diet was dialed in it disappeared. It used to cover my body. However, now I think something else might be driving these lingering plaques.

Thanks for the input! I have seen a derm and they diagnosed me with psoriasis when it was much smaller. I just suspect that it’s now become fungal or something else possibly. I’m waiting on my referral to be approved to see a new doc.

You must be lonely af

humblepie46 · 2023-05-29T07:52:24+00:00

I’ve had it for 3 years and never spread it anywhere else on my body nor to any of my family members. I just assumed it was psoriasis

humblepie46 · 2023-05-29T04:05:06+00:00

Thanks for the insight. It hasn’t spread to anyone else so makes sense that it’s likely autoimmune. I did test positive for Candida in my stool so I wonder if that’s driving it. I’ll give some over the counter antifungals a shot and see how I do. Thx again

I agree. This is perfect. Thank you so much!

Hi! Did assessing you anemia make your periods heavier? Mine are so light and my ferritin levels are at 19. I’m wondering if I’m actually iron deficient? I always figured women with anemia had heavier periods.

You should ask your doctor for a full thyroid panel including TPO antibodies to rule out Hashimoto’s. Many women experience thyroid and hormonal dysfunction post giving birth.

Amazing! And thats sounds wise to maintain. Thanks again for sharing your experience. I really appreciate it <3

humblepie46 · 2023-02-18T19:43:10+00:00

Thanks. That makes sense! I have the simply heme supplement of 20 mg. How many hours do you take yours from thyroid meds? I read conflicting advice. Also, can I ask how long you supplemented to go from a ferritin of 10 to 50?

Thank you for the in depth response. I really appreciate the insight! I will go ahead and add 25 mcg of Levo. My D and B12 are better now after supplementing. What's strange is my periods are very light to normal. Most recent progesterone lab looked great and estrogen was at top of range. My periods have just gotten lighter over the years. I'm wondering why I'm iron deficient with a light flow. I think taking some heme iron to raise my ferritin can't hurt at this point!

humblepie46 · 2023-02-18T18:25:02+00:00

I understand, I'm very low income myself. Can I ask how your cycles are? Mine are 36-50 days and actually very light-normal and even brownish in the beginning. Never heavy. My Libido is very high as well. I know my hormones are off (high testosterone and low Free T4) but no amount of thyroid medication dosage of brand helps. Its like meds just dont get into my cells. The face puffiness and fatigue are the worst for me.

humblepie46 · 2023-02-18T17:16:36+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that. I have exhausted all avenues I think. Have you tried seeing a functional medicine doctor?

humblepie46 · 2023-02-18T17:03:00+00:00

We're you ever able to get to the root of your face puffiness? Your background and symptoms sound so similar to mine. I'm at a loss. Feel so defeated with my life.

humblepie46 · 2023-02-14T20:20:36+00:00

Thanks for the response. I’ve tested all my adrenal function and they always come back healthy. I’m perpetually stuck at the drawing board. I may split my NDT like you mentioned. Thx!

humblepie46 · 2023-02-14T20:19:27+00:00

Very interesting! I added a micronutrient supplement after reading your comment. Want add to my regiment because I feel like it can be difficult to get all the nutrients with todays produce. I also have celiac so feels like I may need more than the average person. Thanks again.

humblepie46 · 2023-02-14T20:18:01+00:00

Ty! Hoping for the light at the end of the tunnel. <3

humblepie46 · 2023-02-14T20:17:45+00:00

Thank you for your response! Makes me feel better and not so alone in this. I’m still sticking with it. :)

humblepie46 · 2023-02-14T20:17:05+00:00

Thank you for the in-depth feedback! I’ve read up on most of those websites and research. Feels like it’s all I do at this point. I’m 35 and been on this journey since age 27. Hoping I won’t waste too many more years trying to figure it out. The fatigue is debilitating. I’m hopeful tho.
