Uh, yeeaaah.

My first pinch of dessicated thyroid (not Armour) was a few hour reprieve that made me see that my thyroid was why I was bed ridden. The second pinch gave me serious angina and wiped me out for the count.

Starting on Isocort helped get rid of the coma/rage syndrome & saved my life by allowing me to take Armour...

Isocort gave me back my (at the time) 11 y/o who was in stage 4 of adrenal stress (maladaptive II) and having daily meltdowns. (Unless you're a mom of a kid who has meltdowns you don't know stress!!!) The first couple of days of Isocort allowed her to start on Armour, too.

The healing effects of adrenal support are what mood-modifying, behavior-modifying drugs aim for and can never achieve...

Is that the kind of hope you're looking for?

Anyone have any really good results on handleing there thyroid medswith areanl support? Whould like to know that there is hope out there!

Well, hypoglycemia--I'd wake up in the middle of the night and NEED to

eat something NOW. Insomnia. I'd either not be able to go to sleep

until like 4AM, or wake up around 1AM and not be able to go back to

sleep until--you guessed it! 4AM. Hypo AND hyper symptoms,

together--what a treat! Ugh. Irritability, big time. Nausea.

Fatigue--what an innocuous word for just wanting to lay down and die!

Feeling worse instead of better with exercise.

I didn't have it TOO bad, cuz I split my dose into TINY bits. I was

taking 1/8 grain every 2 hours for a long time. I started Armour at the

beginning of May last year, added pregnenolone in July, idiot doc raised

it and added DHEA along with time-released T3, crashed with adrenal

symptoms including the return of sinus problems & allergies, switched

myself to Isocort & got off the T3 in September, switched to HC in

December or January & had a thyroid dump so had to start over with

Armour back at 2 grains.

I started with pregnenolone, which helped a little but not enough. Then

Isocort, which helped a little more, but still, not enough. Then I

switched to HC and I'm at 25mg and doing better. I have no problem with

raising my dose--I'm at 5 grains Armour. I don't know for sure, but I

think this MAY be my happy spot. It'll take some time and healing and

watching temps & symptoms for a while to determine whether or not I need

to raise it again.

If you have low cortisol, HC will HELP and you'll be able to handle the

Armour and HEAL.

Steph, I was on antidepressants a few times--most recently from early

2001 until July of last year. I was able to get off wellbutrin EASY.

And I was on 400mg. I never attempted suicide, but I sure did think

about it more than once--and at one point, I had a plan, too. It WILL

get better. My hair was falling out, too, though not TERRIBLE--that's

pretty common. With the HC, you'll do fine on Armour. In fact, there's

a physical basis for your nervousness at this point, as I'm sure

already told you--low cortisol will do that for you!

How much Isocort did you give your 11 y/o? My daughter has meltdowns as well, she is 9. Just diagnosed hypo and on 1 grain per day (I've recently split her to 30 mg. am and 30 mg. around 3:30, when school gets out). I suspect she may have adrenal issues too, but she hasn't been tested. If she is high though, I shouldn't add Isocort, right? I don't know how I woudl get it in her anyway, its so bitter. I'm trying to sneak Adrneal Support Plus vitamin into protein smoothies for her.

This isn't really about adrenals, but ... you know how I learned to

swallow pills? I had strep throat or something and needed antibiotics

when I was 9. I pleaded for ANYTHING but a shot in the butt as the doc

got closer and closer to me with that needle. I PROMISED that I would

swallow my pills and follow instructions. I learned pretty quickly that

it wasn't so bad--certainly better than penicillin in the butt!!!! LOL

My daughter would rather be sick. When I got her NutriMeds, she hid them

in the couch and took my armour instead. That's how I figured out she was

truly hypo, it was the best week of her life!

the first day we gave her one Isocort. She is up to 4 Isocort AM and 4 Isocort after lunch. (3 grains/day/split )

In restrospect, I was a chicken and way too cautious with her doses. It really is a crying shame that we moms are soooooooooo afraid of administering the correct, healing, support when so many parents are willing to dump toxic amphetamine-based mood/behavior mod drugs, Prozac - and worse - into their kids. One is right for our kids and the other has the approval of the Medical-Money-Machine; go figure!

With AIT and Isocort ( & Armour), meltdowns are history for us. period.

No. not right (from your post). High cortisol is one of the stages of adrenal stress... I forget which one. (after I finish this email I'll look for the link to the discussion of the ASI results...) Supplementing cortisol at the appropriate time of day, allows the feedback loop to respond in a healing way. High cortisol needs appropriate adrenal support, also.

My strongly held personal belief is that kids who are having meltdowns are in school/other environments that do not fit their biological needs. IMHO, meltdowns are as definitive for adrenal stress as high cholesterol or antibodies are for thyroid.

TRUST ME; if my kid can learn to swallow the Isocort pellets, anyone at all can. Honest. They are tiny, tiny, tiny!

It helped me tremendously to talk on the phone with another treating mom. If you want to talk off-list or on the phone, just let me know, ok?

If our kids needed additional oxygen for their brains to work we would never hesitate and try the vitamins that have oxygen in the name, first, because it's such a big step to give oxygen, right? If they need it, they need it. Same with adrenal support.

Lemme tell you a line that a dear friend used on me trying to get me to dump behavior drugs in my kid. She said " every day that she is not medicated is a day of her life that you are stealing from her. " She has since seen the error of her thinking, btw...but I do think that every day that I found adrenal support and Armour a daunting prospect for a child I was - as it turns out - forestalling the healing of my child's mind and body...I really wish I had started her sooner and been braver with the earlier doses...

We are on the right track with our kids, . Take courage.

LOL my kiddo tried the burying the pills in the bed trick! LOL didn't work for long. Fortunately the kind of LD she has makes her unable to lie! LOLOLOL It felt like a big deal at the time, but she has been responsible for awhile, now. (I still trust but verify!)

I hope you give this girl her own Armour, now!?

I'm a bit late in reading these emails. I'm wondering how you determined that you needed to give Adrenal support to your DD? I have been trying to do the temp graph per Dr. Rind on my16 y.o. but between my sched and her work sched, it is next to impossible.

She is on armour, 3 grains, but from other things, ie she has also been emotional w/meltdowns (this has decreased somewhat but it is still present), she has extreme carb craving (and sugar craving), acne still present, allegies (more seem to be developing)....I suspect she does need support.

Thanks for listening.

OH, I take HC, so does her dad and her oldest sis (middle sis most likely needs it, but is on her own and consulting a doc so I don't know what is happening presently).

when she took the ASI test it was only $99.00 from Diagnos-Tech Lab. (She had blood labs for the rest, that first time.) The discussion that comes back with the ASI results is extremely insightul and useful. My DD was already at the 4th step of 7 steps of adrenal stress; the 7th is adrenal failure. That helped me get over arguing with myself about whether or not she really needed adrenal support. I also had that to back up my decision to treat her, should anyone want to push the point, ya know what I mean? These days you can drug your kid senseless with control meds but giving something that can really heal your kid can attract unwanted attention in certain circumstances, these days...

My kid has great skin. She started the Armour just in time! Kerry can give you good proof of Armour clearing up complexions of teens, though. And I've met her three; I like each and every one of them, a lot - they are very nice people. Probably won't be long before the younger Armour generation wants to talk to folks their own ages to tell them how Armour works - for themselves!

So you did the saliva test for your daughter? I have a canary club test here, or maybe I can get my ND to do the GSDL, since she doesn't need the sex and thyroid hormones since we already know her thyroid level.

I shoudl do that now before school starts again.....

yes, the ASI (adrenal stress index) is a 4 x in one day saliva cortisol test.

Sounds like a good idea to get that done, asap.

I shoudl do that now before school starts again.....

Best,
