Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 My last blood test showed that I had 6.2 in my blood and you said then lyou thought low cortisol. So does that mean then that it is using that up and now I may need to up my T3? I go in for a blood test on the 14th, should I wait to see what it says before I up anything? > You may be going a little more hypo as you raise the cortisol an dit > uses up more thyroid. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 I thought so to about stress dosing; but when took BP for adrenals a few minutes ago it was 158/72 to 148/75 and I was a little shaky, time for my regular dose of 5mg so took it. A few minutes later I was still shakly so I took 5mg more. I am inclined to believe that this is the thyroid thing cause I have had a slight headache today also and haven't had that while stress dosing before.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 I believe my higher BP was taking too much stress dose. I have been checking sitting and standing BP now good for two days, and I only do 5mg at a time. I have only had to stress dose twice today of 5mg, once in morning & afternoon. At 7am I was only down a little and it was almost time for regular dose so I just took regular dose. But in an hours time I checked it again and it was down, so won't do that again, will stress dose and regular dose. I did not have to stress dose as much today either. I will check BP again awhile before bed to see if I am down any. How long does it take doing this to get your adrenals back to being stronger to where I know it is getting T3 to the cells?? Mine was not as I had lots of T3 in blood, you said low cortisol, now I understand why it was low. I have read that it is better to stress dose before physical exercise like my bowling. How would you suggest I do this? Last week I did 10mg before and 5mg during the three games. I was thinking about taking 20mg before, do you think that is too much? It is evening bowling, don't get home till after 10pm. Any ideas? I do not want to mess up what I am doing. Do I ask too many questions for one message? I have noticed that sometimes you only answer one and not the others? Let me know, I can plut them in more messages instead of one? You are the boss and I sure respect what you are doing, you helped me so much you will never know. I am learning more about my body thru you and this forum that I ever could from the docs. Oh by the way that doc finally sent in my full prescrilptionh of HC after I wrote her a letter and laid it on the line. She only gave me enough for 16 days for 30mg a day and I had a month before I saw her. I go in for a blood test on the 14th and see her on the 29th. I take 37.5mg a day plus stress, but she still did not call me. Am curious what she will say when I see her. Oh I take 75mcg of T3 yet, have slight headache once in awhile since I started stress dosinhg this way, could it be it is clearing out the blood and I may need more T3? > The high BP could also be from adrenaline which is what causes the shaky > symoptms when low in cortiosl. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 I had to stress dose just before bedtime last nite about 9am, 5mg. Then at bedtime I was fine and took my regular 5mg dose. I slept good last night, best for awhile. This morning I got up at 6am to take BP med, the standing was down so I stress dosed 5mg again. Then by 7am I checked again and the standing went up. So I just took my regular dose of 10mg at 7am along with 12.5mcg T3. But when I rested the 15 minutes before taking the last BP I noticed my pulse went back down to 55 where the earlier one was 66. Does that mean I should up my T3 as it is probably getting into cells now where I am keeping cortisol up during the day with the stress dosing when needed? > With stress dosing I woul nto go higher than what you are doing, > especially in the evening as you may find yourself unable to sleep and > THAT is most important. > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Yes it may be time to increaes thyroid. TRY the walk wihtout a stress dose. Keep the walk short enough that you don;t need ot take extra, otherwise it is not doing oyu any good.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 You said TRY to walk without a stress dose; keep walk short, otherwise it is not doing you any good. What do you mean by that??? Also I did try to increase T3 by 12.5, gave me bad headache so went back to the 75mcg daily, spread out with my HC. I believe that I am gaining some reserve to my adrenals. Today I was doing more housework than normal and figured I had used up my dose of HC for that time period. I checked BP sitting and standing and the standing BP went up instead of down and I did alot of stuff. Does that mean it was using my reserves??? I check my BP a few times a day, usually awhile before my regular dose, if down I stress dose 5mg. However, when I get up at 6am, my standing BP goes down quite a bit and I am not to take regular dose until 7am. I stress dosed 10mg at 6am this morning, then at 7am I checked BP, the standing was just barely higher than the sitting. I took my regular dose of 10mg at 7am, 2.5 at 9am, 10mg at 11am; but just before the 1pm 2.5 dose my BP standing went down so I stress dosed 5mg with that dose; checked BP an hour later and it was down again so I stresssed 5mg again; so far the rest of the day went fine, like I said even tho I worked it went up instead of down. AM I DOING THIS PROPERLY??? I need advice as I noticed my legs felt weak much of the time today. I need to understand this a little better maybe, don't want to mess up; I have blood tests on the 14th and would like them to look better, showing T3 is getting out of the blood stream.> Yes it may be time to increaes thyroid.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 Hi Val. Have been taking your advice on taking HC while checking sitting and standing BP for stress. Here are my BP's for this morning. I did as you said to take the next regular dose when standing Bp down even tho it is not time. Well these are close together, every hour in fact. My regular HC schedule is: 10-2.5-10-2.5-5-2.5-5 6am...sit-150/79 p.68...stand-144/85 p.70..took 10mg HC, reg dose 7am...sit-146/85 p.58...stand-121/76 p.65..took next 2.5mg HC 8am...sit-139/78 p.73...stand-126/78 p.77..took 10mg HC, next reg. 9am...sit-152/69 p.66...stand-151/73 p.69..took 2.5mg HC, next dose I stayed up from 6am to 7am praying, thats all I did. Laid back down after 7am & 8am so was not stressing myself at all. Is this common for this to happen? I will check again at 10am to see where I am, I should be staying up above by then. Any suggestions? > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ > > http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 --- In RT3_T3 , wrote I guess I goofed again. The reason I checked every hour is cause I thought the objective was to get the cortisol level UP during the day not DOWN as the standing BP was showing to me. I wanted to get rid of low cortisol. I guess I went about it wrong. SORRY AGAIN that I misunderstood you. So the way to get rid of low cortisol is to up the daily dose not moving the regular doses closer together when the standing BP was down??? That way I was still using the same 37.5 dailly dose to up my standing BP in the morning hours when it seemed to be low all the time. I was wanting to go down on my HC not go up. Can you possibly explain this to me where I understand it better. I have been really confused about alot of things I guess. > I think checking it every hour is not what I meant. You nee dto choose > ONE time of day (I do 7am) and chekc BP sitting to standing, if it falls > thne your OVERALL DOSE needs to come u pa bit, not eveyr hour.
