Thing is my temps are in that range already! And my TSH is 0.7. So I'm not sure if I will have a good reaction to thyroid!

Cacao and mushrooms are high in potassium.I think salt I can cover but I am concerned about potassium.
I have tried 1 mg cyproheptadine every couple of days without noticing anything (except slight constipation). Then I took 2 mg one evening... It knocked me out for 19 hours.Start with 4 mg at bedtime until drowsiness subsides, then 8, 12, and 16.
It's a forever thing.Thanks for the detailed reply.
Just a query on cypro, would the 16mg be forever? or just until I feel optimal on thyroid? I'm wary of the weight gain on cypro.
Ditto thyroid, is that a forever thing?
Have you checked if it goes up or down an hour or two after breakfast, or in the afternoon?Thing is my temps are in that range already! And my TSH is 0.7. So I'm not sure if I will have a good reaction to thyroid!
I believe it.I have tried 1 mg cyproheptadine every couple of days without noticing anything (except slight constipation). Then I took 2 mg one evening... It knocked me out for 19 hours.
Oh wow, I don't think I can risk sleeping for 19 hours. The boss might be wondering where I've gone!
Some people take it indefinitely.It's a forever thing.
Depends on your risk-tolerance. Dave F and I are on opposite ends of that spectrum. :)On scouring around the forum, seems the best starting does is 0.5mg? Or should I just dive into 4mg when I have the next day off?
Thanks Tara! What's your own experience of cypro been?
Hi Giraffe! Thanks for your reply, yes I know, food volume is an issue for me and exacerbates my symptoms. I'm gonna order some cypro and thyroid and see how I get on.
Way back when I used to get uncomfortable gas, I used to find a drink of warm water and then lying on my back relaxing as deeply as possible, including letting breath really calm down, used to help me. May not be enough to help you, but it's a low risk thing to try. Also gentle forward bends could help relax the gut enough to let some of the gas out.
Good call, I actually get get a hold of really good broth so will make myself some chicken soup.Gelatinous chicken broth
