Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 I'm also having an issue with inaccurate temp readings. Which thermometer are you using now, and why do you trust this reading vs. the others?

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Hi Sammie, I took several readings with this new thermometer and a glass thermometer immediately to compare and this new one matched the glass one. The old digital I had was way off and it really seemed inaccurate because the temperatures didn't make sense with my symptoms either. So, even though I could never be 100% I think this is better. Oh, one more thing, I don't know how true packaging is, but the package said it is accurate within .2 degrees. (the one I have is by Vick's, but read the packages to see if you can find one that claims accuracy). > I'm also having an issue with inaccurate temp > readings. > > Which thermometer are you using now, and why do you > trust this reading vs. the others? > > > > SAMMIe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 OK, I thought my temps were getting a little high, but if they're not then I'll hold. I take half a grain of armour in the am and half a grain about 5 hours later. I've been wanting to try more armour because I have a lot of neck and shoulder pain. When is it ok to try that?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 With severe adrenal fatigue you should only try1/8 to 1/4 grain doses . I have seen folks that even had to try them starting every other day. so that depends on your body. How severe the reactions you have to increases and how long it has been since you increased. -- 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 It's been quite a long time since I last increased armour. I was taking i grain all at once in the morning, but when I started with group I started split dosing it, that last change, that was about two and a half months ago. Unfortunatley, there have been times that I've forgotten the second dose. If I were to increase the armour,would that not affect my temperature readings? > With severe adrenal fatigue you should only try1/8 to 1/4 grain > doses . > I have seen folks that even had to try them starting every other > day. so > that depends on your body.

My temps have stayed at 98.6 for over a year, and I have done several thyroid dose changes. -- 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 If temperatures are around 98.6, how can we know when it's ok to decrease H/C? > It might or might not.

If you start forgetting to take your doses of HC and have no adrenal symptoms to remind you, you most likely do not need that 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
