Hypothyroidism Support Group
Hypothyroidism is the disease state caused by insufficient production of thyrohormone by the thyroid gland. There are several distinct causes for chronic hypothyroidism, the most common being Hashimoto's thyroiditis and hypothyroidism following radioiodine therapy for hyperthyroidism.

Has anyone here heard of or tried Isocort by Bezwecken? It's basically herbs that help with Adrenal support. A friend of mine who's real big into herbs (must work for her, she's 53 and on NO medications) was introduced to this item by a holistic nurse friend of hers. She had me try it and I think it helps with the severe fatigue. I'm still in stage 1 of switching from Levothroid to Armour. Am on 30MG of Armour and was really tired and had a difficult time the first two weeks, sleeping a lot and well, you know the rest. The first change I saw when I stopped taking the Levothroid and started taking Armour was that my hair wasn't coming out by the handfulls. I've only been on the Armour for 30 days and started taking the Isocort about two weeks ago. I was SO tired I was willing to try just about anything. My doctor won't do bloodwork for another two weeks. I still find myself getting tired easily, but my nails have stopped splitting down the middle and the tiredness is of a different kind. It's more tired than exhausted. So, I'm hoping that in two weeks, maybe all I'll need is an increase in the amount of Armour I'm taking. As for my hair and nails, that's been way different! I'm very curious to see if anyone else has tried the Isocort?

Haven't tried it. Where do you get it? Is it something I could take when I am very active because my blood testing and variable activity levels can't seem to catch up to each other.

If you do a google search for Isocort, it will give you all kinds of places to find it. It's by Bezwecken. I do not endorse it. I have tried it, and "maybe" have a little more energy, but since I'm doing the medicine switching and that, I can't tell which one is helping. I tried artificial nails and absolutely didn't like them, so after a week and a half I took them off (painfully) and now my nails have to grow back out. I was desperate, what can I say?

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
