Day 16-thyroid med problem

Still here. Have been having a hard time. I figured out that at least while feasting I am taking too much thyroid. My irritability levels have been through the roof, my heart rate crazy, blood pressure off the charts, sweaty, etc. All the sudden it dawned on me that it was most likely my thyroid medicine. even before the feast, my blood levels were a bit on the high side, so given no solid foods it must have climbed even more. I am going to see the nurse practitioner today. It will be my first time meeting her. She took over for Linda who I felt very confident and comfortable with. Linda seemed to feel very good about Pat. Since I take a time release T3 it is a bit different because that is the active version of thyroid. Most people take T4 and then the body converts it to T3 as needed, but my body doesn't do that. They had me on Armour and kept increasing my doses and I just got sicker. I guess it was like poison as it just kept building up in my system. So the T3 is needed in my case, but it is more critical to monitor the level since it is in it's active state. I am also still taking pain meds including tramadol. The tramadol along with St. John's Wort have eliminated the depression I had for years, so I am very reluctant to stop taking it. I do feel that taking these is slowing down any cleansing, but better slow and steady than fast with a crash and then quitting! I haven't lost any weight that I can measure, but I do think I am smaller. My clothes are looser, pants falling down without the belt and the belts not small enough. I think I am still carrying bloat/inflammation in my body, esp my stomach and as I am less bloated/inflamed I get thinner even though my weigh on the scale is the same. Hopefully as I keep going and lose more of the inflammation I will have less pain and fatigue and can add more exercise into my days. Angela said she would have done more exercise particularly rebounding if she feasted again. There were a few other things one of which was MSM. I ordered some of that to add to my daily routine. It needs to be taken with a juice high in vit C or with vit C supp. She also said she would do more coffee enemas. I ordered the coffee and tubing from SA Wilson and it should be here any day.
So far today,
1lb globe grapes, 1/2 lb spinach, 1/2 bunch parsley, 1/2 pear, 1/2 green apple, 1/2 red apple, 1/2 bunch celery= 40 oz juice
Also I have been trying to remember to take fish oil, primrose oil along with the pancreatin for digestion. The last few days I struggled, even tasting foods (chewing them and then spitting most of it out) I really do miss the taste of food, but doing this is making it much harder and is not conducive to what I am trying to accomplish. Along with the food, the thyroid issues made me so stressed out that I broke down and had some Bud Light Lime. Also, not conducive to healing! All in all if I get the thyroid back under control and stay full on juices I can continue and hopefully get to where I can reduce or even stop the pain meds and maybe even the tramadol. All in time. I cook for my husband and father in-law so that is where I am having trouble with the cooked food. I need to be full up on juice before I go into the kitchen to cook for them so I won't feel so hungry and tempted.
I am taking some juice and some green powder with me to Reno so I will have what I need.
Appt went well with the new nurse practitioner, Pat. She is just like Linda! Really cool. Knowing I am a cash patient she checked the box for the least expensive office visit and did not want to reduce my prescription, knowing I would pay the same even if she reduced the dosage, also she did not feel it needed. She explained that T3 is not flushed out of the body like water soluble things like Vit C. All of the tissues in the body reach a saturation level. When you become over saturated you start having symptoms. Her suggestion was to not take any for at least 3 days and then re-introduce it every other day or every 3rd day. She also said there is nothing wrong with opening the caps and taking a portion if I still have symptoms taking a full dose. She thinks I became over saturated and this will fix it. I just need to get to a schedule that works and does not give me side effects of hyperthyroid and also does not drop me into hypo mode. So I need to start really monitoring my thyroid "symptoms" closely to figure out how many times a week to settle into taking the full 55mcgs. Once I settle then I need to go get a blood level done to confirm I am in the zone. She said my cholesterol was great. My "good" (hdl) is 20 or so points higher than normal so that is awesome. She was supportive of the juice feast which I didn't expect at all! She understood my reasons (detox with the goal of healing my leg and losing some weight) and felt it is a healthy way to achieve them. Wow, too cool! She knows Dr. Meircort too and really loves him. I had a hard time finding juice in Reno though. I ended up at Keva and all they do is carrot, but I had my green powder and ordered a wheat grass too so it worked out. I do not get why Whole Foods does not have a juice bar! The store is bigger than Costco and has every kind of food in the restaurant section, but no juice, weird.
I had a quart of grapefruit/orange with 3ooomg msm on the drive to Reno. I enjoyed it. The carrot juice from Keva was probably a quart as well along with 2 scoops of Vital Greens and a tsp of spirulina. + 2 oz of wheatgrass juice and at least 2 quarts of water.
I still have to put away all of the gorgeous greens and fruit from there. I have found I have to buy 7 days of stuff in Reno to get the best selection and quality of organic produce. It is alot to have on hand at 2 lbs of greens a day + the fruits, herbs and stuff. I really need to clean the fridge out and organize it tomorrow. For now the garage has been cold enough to keep everything very nice. Actually better than the fridge because of the lower humidity I think. Certain things have to be kept as close to freezing as possible to stay the freshest -kale, broccoli are 2.
Well, I am exhausted! Bye
