Re: Beginning to have trouble sleeping on Isocort

[Guest guest]

I have been taking Isocort for about 2-3 months, and it worked great

for me for that time, very little fatigue. As time went by and I

needed to increase my dose on a regular basis, up to aprox 8 per day

the results began to diminish e.g. fatigue was back.

I then switched to a different adrenal glandular (Adrenal Rebuilder)

by , and take it in the am with Isocort still in the afternoon

this is working for now.

It seems our bodies can get used to certain supplements and build up

a resistance where they are no longer effective, at least this is

what happended with me and Iso. I still am unable to take Armour or

other thyoid meds, so I'm going to continue to work on adrenals with

glandulars.

Glad you are doing well also, and you may do fine on Isocort and

continue to feel wonderful, I certainly hope so ;)However if things

behgin to shift you may need to add another type of

supplement/glandular for your adrenals.

It cn happen that your adrenals just were low enough that there wasn't

enough cortisol for your OWN thyrid hormones to get into the cells, but

I am betting this will be a passing thing and you will be tired when the

excess thyroid is gone. Your body is most likely using thyroid that was

built up in your blood now and ewhen that os gone you are likely to go

hypo again.

Thanks Val, so to make sure I understand, then Isocort can use up

the free T in your blood and that eventually you will not feel

anything from the Isocort because you are too low Thyroid hormones?

What ,makes you feel more energetic with isocort is the thyroid getting

into the cells. Other wise cortisol can actually relax you to sleep!

That is exactly what was happening when I was taking hc, it made me

soooo sleepy then made me feel hyper, I just gave up on it after a few

days. Does this mean there is not enough Thyroid hormones available or

getting into the cells.

Yes it sure sounds like that is the case.

Why did you stop it at a time when it was beginning to

work and giving you energy, because I was very very

sleepy the first 9 days or so and now hyper...I won't

stop now.

I was in the middle of a conference and really needed to be sharp, I

couldn't afford to be kind of in and out of it, which I was. So

based on your experience do you feel better on hc?

I was only taking 5mg a day also, how much are you taking, see ya...

I haven't tried hc. I thought you said you were taking

Isocort? I'm using Isocort for only 2 weeks, so it's

too soon to tell but the last 3 days I've felt a lot

better.

I had taken Isocort for quite a while and it worked great, then as I

prev mentioned it just stopped working, regardless of the dose, so I

switched to Adrenal Rebuilder from s. Val mentioned that there

may not be enough Thyroid hormones in the blood for the cortisol to

work with. I had prev tried small doses of Armour but did not do

well, so I may try just 1/4 grain in the next day or so. I'm feeling

pretty good with the s Adrenal, so I will see.

Hope you continue to do well

Hi there,

I have been going over a lot of the messages on this board trying to

make sense of what everyone is doing. How do you know it is ok to mix

things (like Isocort & 's formula)? What about Cortef? Do you

take that as well? Is Isocort totally natural? And you order it off

the internet? Do you all have doctors monitoring your levels or are

you pretty much doing this on your own? If so, do you test your

cortisol levels often? How do you know how your thyroid is doing,

with all the increasing & decreasing of thryoid meds?

In addition, I am curious about . She seems to give a lot of

medical advise. Is she a doctor?

Thanks,

Mel
