My Cortef came!! Please advise.

[Guest guest]

In just 10 days!

I need some advice. I am on 5gr. of Armour & cannot tell that I have

made any improvment since I was at 3 gr. Additionally I have gained

about 10 more lbs in the past 3 months or so. This makes 34 lbs.

since I became Hypo back in April. I was not DX until the beginning

of July.

I have not had my Adrenals tested, we just cannot afford it as we have

no Medical Insurance & my DH & I have had a lot of medical bills this

year. We are barely staying afloat right now.

About the time that I hit 4 gr. of Armour I started having extreme

adrenalin rushes all day long. They only last a couple of seconds but

they were coming every few minutes. I tried Delta with no change.

That is when I saw my Dr. & he put me on Lexapro. It has helped but

still when I am stressed I have the same adrenalin rushes. Along with

that I am VERY hot. I normally keep my house at 73 this time of year

& now my house is at 63 degrees. My Dr has put me on HRT for this.

The night sweats have gotten much better but I am still just plain hot.

I am soon to be 53 yrs. old so I am dealing with Hypo & Meno all at

the same time. I have done the self tests at the STTM site & do not

seem to be having a problem with my adrenals being low. I worry more

that it is Hyperadrenal.

What will happen if I try the Cortef & I am hyperadrenal?

How much should I drop back on the Armour if I decide to give the

Cortef a try?

Thanks,

Gale
