Guest guest Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 As usual, I'm still struggling to find the right dose of pred now that I've decided HC wasn't strong enough. I was reading Dr. P's book (The Great Thyroid Scandal, page 190) and he mentioned that a pred dose can be from 7.5 to 10. I found that 7.5 worked sometimes but not always as did 8.75 so today i took the plunge to 10...so far so good but it's only day one. Anyway, Dr. P menitoned that if someone needs to go as high as 10 with pred this is not a reflection of the state of the arednals but more likely to do the stomachs ability to absorb the pred (page 111). So, if this is the case with me, what about my stomach might be reducing my absorption? What can I do to improve absorption? Would this be to much yeast in my stomach? (I thought yeast was an intestinal issue) It would be nice if i didn't need such a high dose. Plus, I'm a bit concerned because at 1.5 grains 7.5 pred was enough but as my armour increased my pred was less effective and I'm only at 2 grains. I hope 10 of pred still works when i hit 3 grains and so on... I've tried several times to reach 2 grains but this is always the point where i crash big time - that was certainly the case with 35 HC or 7.5 pred.
