stress dosing?

[Guest guest]

Hi guys it's Kim, what does everyone mean by stress dosing? How do you

guys dose with your HC when introducing more armour, and when do you

know it's ok, when your temps are stable and you have no adrenal

symptoms?

Thanks Kimmie

Stress dosing when increasing Armoru is a matter oif adding in a little

extra t the AM dose of HC. Maybe 5MG extra for three days then you go

back to your regular doseing schedule. This covers the stress to your

adrenals from the extra thyroid till your body has a chance to adapt to it.

>>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?<<

Yes exactly.

>>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. >>

Val,

that helps a lot! My temps are rising, but never are 98.6. Here is what

they look like last 6 days:

Fri 97.9 [25 hc]

Sat 97.9 [40hc]

Sun 97.7 [30 hc]

Mon 98.3 [50 hc]*travel day*

Tues 98.0 [50 hc]*doctor visit*+*travel day*

Wed 98.0 [40 hc]*back to work*

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.??

Thanks Val,

Dahlia

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.
