Sounds to me like you are already healing it is just taking a long

time. Which it can. The best way to taper ff it is as slowly as you

possibly can.BUT if not enough adrenal healing ahs taken place, it will

be rough anyway. I hate to see yo ugo downhill and ruin your trip just

to find out you simply need to go back onit for longer.And I have also

not heard great things abotu doctors and thyrodi and adrenals from that

part of the world.

Anyway As soon as oyu are ready to start tapering, I would first lower

the first AM dose by 2.5MG so you would be taking 7.5-10-5-5 then in a

couple weeks lower the last dose by 2.5MG to7.5-10-5-2.5. then the

second AM dose to 7.5-7.5-5-2.5, bak and forth holding each drop for 1-2

weeks.

I know what you are saying but I think I have to try. If I stick to

30mg until the end of January I will have approx 17 weeks before I

fly. After 10 weeks I will be on 15mg (assuming that I hold each

decrease for 2 weeks) I think by then I will know whether that is

too little or not. If it is I'll probably decide not to wean off

My daughter is worried about me, that's why she's offered to pay and

she will be mortally offended if I turn her down.

I think the other reason she offered to pay is this: last week she

was admitted to hospital overnight because she's had excrutiating

headaches for the last 2 weeks. Guess what they found? She's

hypo!!! TSH 13

So now she knows what I've been going through. There's nothing like

a shared experience to elicit empathy, is there??

Oh so sorry to hear this, but it is certainly true. I have also found the bets

doctors to be ones that are hypo themselves or have an immediate family member

that is.

I'm sorry too and I'm even more sorry that she's not ready to listen

to what I have to say about treatment. Of course they've started her

on syncrap. 100mcg to start with, is that usual to start with such a

high dose?

I think she may have had symptoms for quite awhile. She had a baby

in July and has been breastfeeding, I think the normal post-baby

tiredness made her think it was normal

Hi Lynda comming off HC all that one can find out is if your Adrenals are

working or not. From what I know about this your Adrenals don't put out or your

Pituitary does not send the messages to make your Adrenals put out Coritisol.

Yet the treatment is the same unless you have a pituitary problem. Then all

that is needed is an MRI on your Pituitary. Dr. Jefferies tested his patients

doing ACTH tests wile on 5mgs of HC 4 times a day. To me and I am not a Dr. all

comming off HC will do is show you if you have Adrenal Fatigue due to it being

Primary or Secondary. Still the treatment is the same. I am only saying this

so you don't get upset if you can't come off HC. This in it's self shows you

have adrenal fatigue. If one is told they have CFS and testing shows things are

normal Jefferies still believes they need to be treated with HC starting at

5mgs. 4 x's a day. He had found most people that suffer CFS have a pituitary

problem.

Just my 2 cents.

I started weaning off hc at the beginning of last week and was ok with

the first reduction. Yesterday I did the 2nd reduction and am

experiencing dizziness/lightheadedness - are these symptoms of

reducing hc?

Perhaps I should have waited 2 weeks between reductions instead of one

Thanks, Val. The reduction yesterday was 2.5mg off the last dose of

the day. It is now 12.30 in the afternoon here and I'm due a 5mg

dose in about an hour.

The dizziness has been pretty bad all morning even though I had 7.5mg

at 5.45 and 10mg at 9.30

Do you think I should take an extra dose now or wait until 1.30 and

take my normal dose then and also increase back up to 5mg for the last

dose.

I could hold on until 1.30 but even taking the normal doses this

morning have not made a difference to the way I feel

I've just thought of something else. I didn't make the 2nd dose

change until last night and yet I was dizzy yesterday morning. I had

been ok for the whole of the previous week after the first dose

change.

Then I remembered that yesterday morning and this morning I had taken

a multi vitamin & mineral that I had stopped taking quite awhile ago

because I had experienced dizziness then and thought it might be the

culprit.

I keep telling myself not to change more than one thing at a time but

I never thought about the multi.

I'm going to go back to the hc dose that I was on last week just for

another couple of days, drop the multi and then try the reduced hc

again...and I won't change anything else (promise!)
