Guest guest Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 YES. For serious infections you can stress dose 20-40MG extra a day. -- 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 January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Kimmie oyu may need to increase your HC a bit faster. You need to stop those nausea and racey feelings when taking oyur Armoru they are just form low cortisol. -- 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 January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 >>Please correct me: I thought that if one added armour and there was a change from stable temps to unstable temps, it meant you weren't ready to add armour, and to back down in dose. Adding in an extra 5 h.c. in the a.m. seems like a different way of handling it. Maybe would one try to stress dose for a couple of days and if temps are still unstable, back off?<< I htink this depends on how badly the person needs the Armoru increase. If temps are runing really low or alot of hypo symptoms it is worth pushign the ropes to stress dose with HC to handle the araise. WHere as if you are further alon in thryoid treatment and adrenals are weaker, it is best to be patient and back up the Armour and wait to increase it till the adrenals are stronger. -- 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 January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 >ok...so if I added in 1/4 grain this morning, and I was normally taking 5mg, was I supposed to add more? I felt ok taking it, temps went a little wonky this morning, dropped actually to 96.5, does that mean my adrenals were having a hard time?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 >>There's a lot of stress dosing in there, I had to travel several hundred miles, stay overnight and see a new doc and travel back, and getting ready to go--all of that in those days above. I plan on going back down to 30 hc today, I hope. And then return to 22.5-25, if my temps stay stable. But see, they're still not 98.6. Sleep's been terrible, but I'm thinking that's the high dosing of h.c.??<< >>from Val:---------With you NEEDING all that stress dosing, you should not even try to go below 30MG. The low temps are from low thyroid. Get back to 30 and let oyur temps level out then add Armour (just 15MG at a time) before trying to lower HC. Steady adrenal support is almost as important as how much oyu dose. The need to stress dose more than 1-2 times a week indicates oyu need more HC overall.>> Hi Val, Here's a new discovery: I think most of the stress dosing of the last week came not from streess but from taking Armour, at my usual dose of 45 mgs. a.m. and 45 mgs. 8 hours later. I'm baffled! All of a sudden, I don't seem to be able to tolerate my armour. Today, I dosed the Armour every 4 hours or so, and I had no shakiness or overexcitability. I was half-dead, but I did not stress dose h.c. I think I will top out at 25 mgs. h.c. today. Any thoughts? If I do need to multi dose the armour, what's a good schedule?
