is fgrom high cortiosl you were taking, and may reverse on it's own

as you lower the HC. I would suspect you may be still too high on it,

and need further reductions. I am glad you found a method that works

to reduce it, some of her patients are not so lucky. The high temp

also seems to go along with high cortisol and you may be a tad too

much thyroid as your TSH is very low, and T4 just a tad high which

will encourage your body to make RT3. I think I would go to 3 grains

and continue lowering the HC slowly.

Hi Val again,

It has been a month since your advice to lower Armour to 180 as I

decrease HC which I have done. I have been at 20 HC since 9/25

(two weeks). My temps keep going down.....98.2 three times today and

about the same yesterday. Last night I had a cold spell after taking

hc before bed and not falling asleep for a couple hours. Today I

discovered that I had forgotten to take my 45 armour before bed with

it! Is that why I got so cold? The days before that I was hot a lot

even tho my temp was not high. I am constantly hungry as well, more

today than days before.

The other question I would have is if you think my adrenals are

really working now? Is that why I can be on 20hc? I am wondering

what to expect as I lower from here. Should I do labs again in a

week or two? Rt3 again...or wait as I lower hc more. I may need

more armour if my temps are low, right? Please comment as to what I

should look for. I am scared and excited to think I may get off this

merrygoround and wishing all of you were with me.
