Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I woke up again in the middle of the night. No palps but just waking up and not being able to go back to sleep. I tried 5 mg HC and fell asleep quickly so I guess it is low cortisol at night, keeping me up. -- Re: Night Doses & HC Thanks, I will pick up the cream today. Fortunately, a Walgreens opened up just 1 block away so I can walk there; very handy as I don't have a car any more. BTW, I tried the night dosing of 2.5 Isocort and .25 Armour; it was a disaster - hardly slept and tossed and turned all night. Will not repeat that experiment as I need what little sleep I get; last night was truly awful. C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I tried a 2.5 Isocort at bedtime and it keep me up most of the night. I am now on Cortef 10mgs in the morning and 5mgs at noon and dinner. Last night I started at a higher dose of Armour added 15mgs. I read this about taking it at bed time and do so. Wow I slep like a baby until 7am most of the time I wake at 5am. When I got up I had no fatigue at all and felt great. I was ready for more Armour now doing 1 grain in the morning and at noon and .5 grains at dinner. Adding the 15mgs at bedtime was great I hope this keep up.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Dr. Jefferies says to take 5mgs at bedtime of HC but if you don't have a problem sleeping I would think your better off using it when your up. This is the 3rd. night I took 15mgs of armour and last night I never woke up to go to the bath room so at 7am I had make the trip dam fast. :-( Phil srapp785@... wrote: >I tried a 2.5 Isocort at bedtime and it keep me up most of the night.

The most recent times I've tried h.c. at bed have been disasters--there I was, all nice and toasty, ready for sleep, then boom, the h.c. kicked in and I was up for hours. Maybe tomorrow night I will try the armour--already took my doses today.. Dahlia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Yes I had DHEAS checked and I went to high so I am now taking 25mgs once a day. Was doing 2 a day. When I switche to HC from Isocort my DHEAS and Testosterone levels went way up. I am on testosterone shots been on them 23 yrs for low testosterone. I find it good dam good news that my levels went up now I can lower the dose. In the past the stress my body was in caused me to use up the testosterone meds real fast so I was on a dam high dose. Most me do 100mgs a week I had to do 150mgs. Phil Kim wrote: >Hi Phil, it's Kim writing. I'm going to try that one night. Infact, I may try it next week. Or for my next add in in two week, try adding a little at bedtime. I'm so happy to hear you're doing better. Gives us the rest hope. Are you taking DHEAS? I was asking about that earlier, did you get your levels checked? Thanks, Kimmie > >I tried a 2.5 Isocort at bedtime and it keep me up most of the night.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Well last night was a bit of a strange night I woke up at 1am had to go to the bath room. I knew this was going to happen because I could not go before I went to bed just one of them days. Strange thing about it was as my head hit the pillow I was out dead a sleep. This never happens I am sold on taking Armour at bed time.
