Have you come up with any interesting info or patterns yet? I'm

looking at the same thing - trying to figure out what the drs are too

narrow-minded, short-sighted, or just plain disinterested in looking at!

Have you looked at low progesterone & iodine deficiency?

Love to hear your observations...

Hi Linn,

I'm working off 's post from the other day:

My feeling is with Candida, practically is possible!

from Val:

>>at the moment, I am dosing Armour twice a day, with HC about an hour or

so after the Armour...is that what you would advise?<<

>that is good but better would be to break up your Armour dosing even

more. I actually seem to do best >taking mine four times a day but I am

on a hefty dose.

Val, I'm taking 90 mg Armour: what dosing would you recommend? Also,

what schedule for increasing?

Thanks, Dahlia

Hi, Dahlia,

97.3 isn't fabulous, but I have a 97.something almost every day!

Sounding better all the time! Good for you, Dahlia!

Possibly, but I would check in with Val on that.

I think the temp fluctuations are indicating the adrenal problem.

Everyone here says 1/4 grain increases with adrenal fatigue.

That is a definite improvement, Dahlia. Hopefully the worst is over!

Is that maybe overdoing it? Don't know for sure...maybe someone else

That's good...did they test potassium too?

Glad you're feeling better, Dahlia! The only way is up!

Dahlia, I see SO many people try ing to exercise while healing their

adrenals and I have to warn you, exercise uses ALOT of cortiosl. You

need to slo it down, you are trying to allow your body to heal and LIGHT

exercise is the nly thing thta is allowed.Walking is greta but even that

can be overdone. The fluctuating tamps are tellingh you that your

adrenals are still over stressed. At 25MG a day I would slow that

exercise down till your body has had a chance to recover.
