That's a late start for you girl!

I ended up taking 2 3/4 grains altogether yesterday and then came the

insomnia (even with four lots of sleeping pills) and the palps. I took an extra

5

h.c and then another 5 and they eased a bit but still no sleep.

And then I woke way too early! Aint life grand sometimes?

I feel a sense of relief now that I have the recent labs back as I felt like

I was going mad, feeling so very bad and not knowing what the heck what

going on with me.

So still brain-dead today.l have been trying to look back to my posts

throughout the summer to see if I can suss when I appear to have been at my

best

but my brain is not playing ball on this one at all. Just end up going round in

circles.

I suppose I am concerned about shooting up to 3 grains in case I miss that

sweep spot again.

I did have hyper symptoms Val before as well the two lots of labs showing me

well over the range i.e. anxiety, insomnia, palps and the mysterious

constant weeing which stopped when I lowered the Armour.

Maybe my head will be clearer tomorrow and I will try to check out earlier

posts for clues.

thanks for you help Val.

Thank God!!! :0) (smile)

Val,

I have noticed a pattern with my treatment so far. After I take my

5mg. dose of Iso. in the AM, I feel soooooo tired and my body starts

to almost freeze up so that I have to go back to sleep and then it

isn't until my next dose that I start to wake up. I am taking 5-2.5-

2.5 and sometime a fourth dose between the 2nd and last.

I feel a little better after I get my last dose in me....early

evening is best.

Is this some sign that I need more in the am?? or, on too much?

Then, when I try to only take 1/2 gr. of Armour, I end up taking a

grain to a grain 1/2 bc of heavy feeling in chest. (like right now)

I have one period of the day where I feel hot but, my temps. are not

high.

What do you suggest?

This weekend I have to help move my Mom into a new house so need to

also know how to do that on my current dose. Can I up it during that

time?

Thanks,

Dana

Hi Dana,

I know Val will reply, but wanted to let you know I have found for me

due to adrenal issues, taking thyroid first, then following with HC

later is much better for me. Still have trouble determing what

thryoid to take, but if I take HC early with no thyroid first I could

basically go back to bed also...I then feel better in the afternoon

and evening, which is totally related to adrenal fatigue issues.

hope things go well in your move this week, take care

Dana,

If you are suffering from adrenal insufficiency, watch the exertion with your

Mom's move. Us folks in this boat tend to sink rather than swim after intense

exercise.

So will you be able to get the other kind of insulin that you need from the

doctor you have been seeing recently?

It must be hell at the moment. Having got the diagnosis not being able to

access the correct meds. Plus the symptoms.

BUT this will pass, this is fine-tuning time Val, and as you are already an

expert patient, you will get where you need to be faster the The Average Bear.

So hang on in there, we are with you all the way.

You might try increasing your morning dose first. It took me quite a

while to increase the isocort, and I had to stop the armour because I

got a dump as soon as I began the isocort. I always kept the first

dose of isocort highest because of the same symptoms you are having.

When I got to 20 I took 10 on awakening and then 5 and 5 ending before

three - that seemed to carry me to bedtime.

I had a few days of big stress and getting freezing cold by noon a few

weeks ago. That encouraged me to try Cortef, which I started a few

days ago. I'm using the same breakdown in dosing and it seems to be

working.

Good luck!

>>You got the metformin and some other med. right? and

that did not help so you found this different doctor who prescribed you

insulin

and you had to figure out how much and when from the testing with your

finger-prick device?<<

Right so far, but the insulin I got was not what I need. I have aFINALLY

found someone to help me wiht this and have the corecct insulinS

coming.. yes two separate kinds. The oine I was prescribed has two

kindin it in a mix thta is supposed to be one kind fits all.. wel I am

using more than double the prescription and it still is not keeping my

numbers anywhere near where they should be. The kind man i found to halp

me wiht this is a retired engineer that is really the kind of expert I

need for htis. ANd he also says I should be tested for pancreatic

antibodies.. Wiht other autoimmunne diseases it may be that i will be a

type 1 before long if thta is in the works I will need to be even more

careful wiht this.

I feel bad when my glucose is high. NO energy, pain, headaches. It has

been explained ot me thta insulin has antiinflammatory properties of

it's own, which is why when I get ENOUGH in me I feel so much better.

That and it stops the damage beimng caused by the high sugar levels.

I'm sorry you're feeling crappy. Are there any good diabetes yahoo groups,

or bulletin boards anywhere? Did you try on the About site?

Actually I joined three different Yahoo groups and the level of

knowledge is lower than what I have already especially about eating! I

just yesterday was directed to a fella that has a private list, off

Yahoo that I joined and had a long chat wiht this ANGEL of a man last

night. We talked over an hour last night on the phone and i trust his

judgement and he is going to help me get my levels straightened out.

First thing is I have ordered the RIGHT Insulins that I need instead of

this pre-mixed stuff i have.. wrong insulin. But I am doing the best I

can wiht this which ,means testing my sugar almost hourly and adjusting

the dose wiht abotu 5 injecitons a day. I am alreayd more than double

what i was prescribed and sitl not keep ing the blood levels I need for

health,. When I get it down to 120 (still too high! ) I feel like I am

on speed the energy flows so well. All my body pains leave and even my

almost copnstant headache, but then within a couple hours either I go

too high agian and need mORE insulin or too low and have to eat to bring

it back up which then goes too high agian. This insulin is impossible to

adjust right. but I will be dpoing muvch better by then end of next week

when i will have the right stuff! There are Diabetes angels out there

too, this guy is a retired engineer and Diabetic that had to figure out

this on his own as Diabetes doctors are no better than thyroid/adrenal

doctors it seems. So he is spending his retirement helping others get

their levels straightened out. THANK YOU LORD for sending me to him.
