Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I have been on 35 mg HC per Val's dosing advice to me since the 16th (last Thursday). I felt so much better on SAturday and Sunday. I actually accomplished alot towards getting ready for my crowd at Thanksgiving. I was careful not to push myself too much. Yesterday, my day started good also until the afternoon when I received a nasty phone call from dy DSS's wife (DSS- Dear or maybe da*n or dumb step son). DSS is in jail and since DH and I wouldn't bail him out, she felt it her right to call and curse me and say as many hurtful things to me as she could before hanging up on me. Anyway, after that I became quite shaky and nauseated. I stress dosed several times and actually ended up taking an extra 40 mg. yesterday. Today I took my regular 12.5 at 8, but by 10:30 I took another 10 mg because of nausea and shakiness. I took my regular 10 mg at noon and another 10 at 1 because I was still nauseated. It is somewhat better, but still there now at 2:30. Should I take another 10? If I have confused you, so far today I have taken an extra 20 mg. My questions are: How many days can I safely stress dose? Is 10 mg at a time the proper stress dose amount? AND Will my body want more than 35 after I quit since it gets used to a larger amount? My thought is that the stress is burning up the excess while I am stressed, is that right? I'm sorry that I didn't pay more attention to stress dose questions in the past. I can't believe how much her nastiness knocked me back to still be so unsteady today. I've got to get better as I'll have a house full of guests on Thursday and I still have cleaning and cooking to do. I've tried to explain to DH that this is making me physically sick, but the hasn't fully understood the adrenal fatigue thing anyway since " a doctor " didn't diagnose it. This is also his busy season at work right now, so he has that added stress. So VAL, I'm all for your idea to move as far away from family as I can get!! Add to my stress the fact that the people they associate with and the life they lead combined with their spitefulness actually scares me for my children and our home. 1 1/2 hours away just isn't far enough!!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I would stress dose with 5MG doses, less to have to stop later on, and for no more than3 days or oyur body will get used to it and demand it. Next time she calls, hang up on HER right away, you will be amazed at what THAT will do for your adrenals! -- 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 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I know Val and some other folks might be upset with me for saying this. However, based on what I have been through and am still going through with cortisol replacement, if I had it to do over again, I personally would never take more than 15 mgs. of HC per day but that is just IMHO....

I'd love it if you would explain why you think 15 mgs is the max dosage for you ... Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Thanks, Val! I finally ended up with 30 extra for the day (including my bedtime dose to come) before I stopped feeling nauseated. So that was at least less than yesterday. I had planned to just not answer if I saw her number on the caller ID; however, it might actually be more fun to hang up on her as you suggest. LOL! Got any room for us southerners up there in WV? Actually I have a long time friend who lives in sburg. Kris (GA) PS. , I'd also like to hear why you say no ,ore than 15 daily. The best I've felt so far didn't occur til last weekend when I had reached 35 for several days. > > I would stress dose with 5MG doses, less to have to stop later on, and > for no more than3 days or oyur body will get used to it and demand it. > Next time she calls, hang up on HER right away, you will be amazed at > what THAT will do for your adrenals! > > -- > 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 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 And before hanging up, screw up the courage to say " You may not speak to me this way. " It gives one a terrible case of butterflies (or worse) to do it, but the feeling afterward is well worth it.
