unstable temps show a need for more HC?

[Guest guest]

Hey,

Iv been taking my temps 3x per day as on the Dr Rind site.

2 days ago my temps were low (36.5 compared to 36.85 normally!), and today my

first temp is 36.47..I thought at first that it was because I didn't have a

shower of bath, but yesterday I didn't and average was 36.9C..

Does this fluctuation show low cortisol? This is what Dr Rind says

When I was at uni they were stable, so perhaps our house is colder in the

mornings that my flat at uni..don't know if this still implies low cortisol

Val on NTHadrenals says it shows low cortisol but Im taking 35mg HC already. And

Iv just read some studies that say addison's patients that were taking 0.43mg/kg

body weight per day (which is the same as 30mg per day for me) showed decreased

bone density..which to me implies that this dose was more than a normal

replacement dose..(http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/120/3/207)

I know that hypothyroids can have less hydrochloric acid in the stomach which

means a need for more HC than normal..but Im still dubious about increasing my

HC more.

BTW I seem to have no excess symptoms like water retention/high BP (Bp is about

120/70), moon face and the recent increase to 35mg (9 days ago) seemed to help

my sleep, which started getting worse after increasing Armour.

Thanks
