Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 Just received my isocort today. I need help with when & how much to take. Here are the results of my ZRT adrenal stress test: Range DHEAS 5.8 3-10 Cortisol morning 37.4 3-8 Cortisol noon 3.0 2-4 Cortisol evening 0.6 1-2 Coritsol night 1.5 0.5-1.5 In the comments, it states that "very high morning cortisol level may be due to very high dosage of topical progstereone cream". I used a compounded 200 mg progesterone creme 8 hours before the morning saliva test. I have quit using it after receiving these results. It also says, "low evening cortisol level suggest low adrenal reserve and, possibly, evolving adrenal fatigue". My biggest problem is insomnia-waking up between 2:30 & 3:30 am & not being able to go back to sleep. This has been going on for 4 years. I'm on 3 grains armour divided into 3 doses sublingually. I would really appreciate some help with dosing. Thanks, Oneida Quote
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 I would completely stop the P cream for ever! LOL And start the Isocort at 2 pellets first thing in the morning then 2 four hours later for 3-4 days then ass another 2 pellets four hours after that for another 4-5 days. Then you can add a pellet to am & 2nd dose. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote
