Re: Isocort not doing much

[Guest guest]

You are right to stress dosse, but there is no danger of heart attack

form this. This is LOW cortisol putting fear into you which is one of

the most common signs of low cortisl, unnatural fears fo thing s

especially what is happening in your body.

Oh, I'm not afraid of a heart attack from the stress dosing, but

rather from the sudden blood pressure drops.

And I'd agree that the low cortisol does give me plenty of unnatural

fears.

Val, in your experience, how long does someone with these kind of

symptoms have to be on HC, assuming that they don't need it permanently?

I know that you won't know for sure about me, but just generally

speaking. Reading the Peatfield article made me wonder, since in

addition to the symptoms, I have/had a significant number of the items

on his " checklist " for requiring adrenal support.

There really is no way to tell. Everyone's body responds deiferently and alot

depends on how much you put into changing lifestyle to reduce stress and how

long your adrenals have been struggling. I have read from 2 to 24 months, and my

ownm time was 18 months, Missy was on HC for I think 8 months and is now feelign

great off it.

How do you determine if it is needed permanently? Is that sort of

process of elimination, i.e., never really able to stabilize when

attempting to get off (assuming no autoimmune 's)?

Also, is it typical on the Isocort to feel exhausted but unable to

sleep? What does that mean? I rest, but sleep is ellusive. Same

thing last night.

Thanks!

I htink you would know you needed it permanently if after three years you have

had no lick with attempt sto ewan off and oyu are certain you have gone high

enough to rest your adrenals and tyour thyroid is optimal.

Feeling exhausted but unable to sleep can definitely be a LOW coritosl

symptom.

What about not being able to sleep, waking up many

times throughout the night not feeling sleepy on

Isocort?

I would try a bedtime dose, and eating high protein at bedtime. One of

two things cause us problems with adrenal fatigue sleeping.. either low

Cortisol at night from taking supplements in the daytime which causes

less ACTH to be made and we go too low in Cortiosl at night, or

hypoglycemia.

Funny thing...even though my cortisol is in the crapper, my

hypoglycemia hasn't been acting up at all, with the exception of my

4pm dip, which hasn't been bad at all - used to be the worst - since I

increased my naturethroid last month from 2.5 to 2.75 grains.

Didn't even take my metformin yesterday or last night, since I forgot

to refill it & no problems. Of course I realize that this might not

be the best time to try that little experiment...

I'll give that a try..thanks!
