Re: cortef- need some update please

[Guest guest]

Thanks . How long have you been on cortef?

I use Baschetti's licorice powder. Some folks say that it is a very

good quality licorice and hence planning to stick to it.

Thanks,

Gayathri.

> Hi Gayathri,

> I am only taking 5mg a few hours after I get up (which is usually

after 11am). I have difficulty eating when I first get up and it

must be taken with food. It can keep you up. Dr. Teiltlebaum

recommends taking the last dose by 4:00, so I rarely get the

afternoon dose in. I do notice a differece when I am off it. I was

once put on a burst of prednisone by my rhuematologist. The second

day I felt the best I had in years (really cleared the fog). I over

did it and crashed. Natural Factors has a liver support product with

licorice, milk thistle and alpha-lipoic acid. I get it on iherb.

Hi Gayathri,

I took Cortef 10mg in the morning for 6 months and

noticed no difference to my health - good or bad.

Kindest regards,

Annette

Hi Gayathri

Are you positive your thyroid is ok? We all know everyone is told

their tests are normal when in fact they are at the bottom of the

range of T4 or T3 or they have undetected antibodies?

Hi Pam,

I have done several thyroid tests before including the antibodies.

It was all normal , dont remember the numbers exactly.

Recently my doctor wanted to do the thyroid panel again, so have

tested it again. will see how it turns out. My doctor is open to

giving me armour. I never had low basal temperature too. So I am

suspecting my thyroid might be okay.

Thanks,

Gayathri.
