Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 > > >> Are you saying I shouldn't be on it and my saliva > tests were ok? > Valarie, thanks for just taking the time to write never mind. ok.. am 7 (13-24) low noon 9 (5-10) 4pm 25 (3-8) high midnight 1 (1-3) my DHEAS was 4 (3-10) so it was low. Ok..so the conclusion was on the report I need adrenal support in the am, no kidding and that I had a high cortisol to DHEAS ratio and that I needed either DHEAS or pregnenolone. The thing that my doc said to me was I defintely need adrenal support, and that he asked me what the hell I was doing at 4pm. My daughter cholked on a piece of figurine she shoved in her mouth. No kidding, I was stressed. The funny thing is in my last saliva test 2 months ago, my 4pm was my lowest, really low like 3. So I honestly thing it was a stress response and my 4pm 's are always low because I feel the worst between 2-5, I have to nap I'm so tired. So he put me on 10 mg of cortef to start in the am! Holy moly, good thing I was upping it slowly. That would have killed me 4 weeks ago with all the syncrap in my system! But he's not afraid to use cortef and believes it it whole heartedly. I'm just going to tel him that I was shaky after the am dose and ask if we can up it...can't hurt to be on the same page. Mind you I didn't need him to give me the saliva tests. I was soo sick and feel soo much better on the HC. So any thoughts? I think if I dont' get my butt going and up the HC, I'm on my third week now, I'm at 5-5-5-2.5mg. That I'm going to go hypo really hypo with only 1/2 grain in my system. I tried adding 1/4 this morning and I tolerated it fine, sucked it up within 3 hours! But I don't want to start adding too quickly, I'll end up in the same boat again. I can't get DHEAS in canada, it's banned here. Thanks, Kimmie...I think you were asking me if I was on HC at the time of the test, nope. Kimmie > Kimmie<< > > Kinnie can you post your saliva results again fo rme please?

If you follow the protocol I have outlined for raising it slowly, as you raise it it will lower your ACTH in the afternon ehiwhich will lower that 4PM high. Once you get enough AM cortisol your body won;t be making all that ACTH which is causing that super high PM load. But your doc thinks just correcting the AM will fix everything and it is unlikely. You need to resaet the cortisol eythym. To do that you will work up to 20MG HC a day with the highest dose in the AM and tapering down through the day as is outlined here: http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=994 & sid=9741da8e5\ afe0d6f7abc2cc09fae4cfb -- 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...
