I have tried raising by one grain and I think it does help keep you warmer and slightly more awake. but not sure about the dry skin..I personally operate a dry skin factory except on my face.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Hi , I raise my meds in the cold ONLY if I start having symptoms of fatigue, pain, foggy, anxious etc....I don't think that upping your dose will help your dry skin. Vitamin E is excellent for that. You take the chance of putting yourself into hypo by increasing you meds if you really don't need too. You should only gauge increases of your meds on two things...how you feel and your body temp. A perfect 98.0 basal temp is where you need to be at. If your body temp consistantly stays there, then you have the correct amount of armour. : ) Patti raising meds when it is cold Who raises their meds when it is cold out? If so, how much?

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 HOw much armour are you on? If you are still experiencing these symptoms you probably do need to increase. I increased one time and it sent me over the edge. Ended up in the hospital having a panic attack that lasted over 40 minutes. I thought I was going to die. Couldn't breath...all they could say was " this happens all the time " Here is some adivan. The adivan made me absolutely like a zombie. AFter much searching and asking questions I realized what I had done. It was a life altering experience. I was afraid to do anything..and one thing was to go to sleep as that is where I was when I awoke, gasping for breath and feeling like I was going to die. I just wanted to make sure you don't do that to yourself. It is easier to do than most think. But now knowing that you are still cold and exhausted...yes increase and try increasing by 60mg's / 1 grain....and see what happens.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I am only increasing 15 mg which I believe is 1/4 grain. He added 15 2 weeks ago. So that makes my increase 1/2 a grain total! raising meds when it is cold Who raises their meds when it is cold out? If so, how much? Does it help with the dry skin?
