Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 is it absolutely essential to wait 4 hours between hc doses? I'm not talking about the need to stress dose This morning I took 10mg at 6.30 but by 10am I started to feel very weak, legs felt shakey. I hadn't had any stress so I wanted to wait until 10.30 to take the next dose because I think maybe taking 10mg first thing and then another 7.5mg after 3 1/2 hours might be too close together. Eventually I took the next dose at 10.15 and within 15 minutes I felt fine Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I used to try to hold out till dose time btu some days it was necessary for me to dose early as well. I kind of played that by feel. If there is ANY nausea take it early. if you feel real bad, take it eary. If it is just uncomfortable, wait. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store (Closing after Xmas!!!) http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Lynda, For me it is a MUST to get my 10mg HC in me as early as possible. If I happen to wake up at 4am, I take it. I feel my best if I can do this and " if " I can get back to sleep. Then I wake up more alert. For my 2nd 10mg dose I feel best taking it after 3 or 3.5 hours, then I wait until 4 hours for the 3rd 5mg dose. I can only take my 4th, 5mg dose if I get my HC (Cortef) taken by around 4pm, or I can not get to sleep that night until very late. I have a lot of sleep problems as it is. This is what works best for me, for now anyway. Kat HC dosing is it absolutely essential to wait 4 hours between hc doses?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Marti, I don't know about the dosing, but go out and buy a small pill box...I use a tin from some mints my hubby bought...and keep a supply of HC, etc. with you at all times. You'll need this if you ever run into an emergency where you're stressed anyway hon. Martha Lovejoy wrote: And what on earth do I do if I forget to take it first thing in the am?

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I had my " lunch pills " and my afternoon pills with me, so I just bumped up. I think I'll start carrying my weekly pill holder for armour and HC. It's a little one with the daily boxes.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 I take my Isocort at 9, 1 & 5. In the evening I take 30 drops of tincture of licorice root as a tea in hot water. I find if I take an evening dose of Isocort, I'm up all night too. But the licorice seems to help my body make the best of its cortisol without keeping me up. When I don't take it, I sometimes revert back to waking at 4am. With it, I don't seem to have that problem. I'm still tracking this trend though. > In a message dated 27/11/2006 19:38:41 GMT Standard Time, > lovejoymar@... writes: > > Thanks - that's what I thought.
