I am on 800 kcal diet with water in is 2 cups per day. My body temp is always low in morning 95.5 F and during day it's max 96 to 96.5. I read about Wilson syndrome but my doctor refused to give me any T3 because all my thyroid test is in normal range. I check my urine PH as well in morning which is in 5 acidic range normal litmus strip range 5to 9. I personally think that hyper adrenal is my problem even though my kcal intake is 800 diet a day from long time. My potassium intake is 800 to 900 while following the above 800 kcal diet
I cannot tolerate more potassium before it used to be 500 a day since I get sweaty hands but now that problem is solved since my adrenals are bit stronger. My 800 kcal diet include 4ounce chicken and 1/2cup alb ran and once cup skim milk. I am not taking any calcium support for long time since I have calcium deposit in my bones. My bone density T score is 2.5 which is very high.
My PTH hormone score is 1.45 range 1.6 - 6.9 & Cal 10.5 range 8.5- 10.5. I did hair analysis as well which showed calcium magnesium sodium and vanadium selenium plus strontium is high range. I cannot understand with all these years following 800 kcal diet why my body tissues deposit minerals?
These days I have turbinate swelling problem and my ESR is 40. I am looking forward for any suggestions and any clue with these health issue since my Dr said everything is fine with me. Once again thank you for your time and may god bless you. Thnks
