I did a quick check on the internet and I have many of the symptoms - but

many are low thyroid/low adernal symptoms, so how do I know for sure? Jesus,

I'll pay any amount of money if it'll make me feel better. But how do I know

how to treat this and for how long? God, I feel like I just continue to find

more and more problems and I add a med and still I feel like hell on earth.

Well when someone suggested to me that I may have candida problems I was

doubtful but, just in case, when I was in my local Holland & Barrett (vitamin

shop) I bought a herbal anti-candida product.

WELL within 24 hours I thought I was going to die.........

So there was the proof.

You can do the same if you need the evidence but I think it is pretty

certain, don't you?

There are yahoo Candida groups that you could join that could support you

with this or I am happy to support you here.

Yes the symptoms are similar to thyroid/adrenal.

Hi Mo,

I'll explain why I had to start stress dosing with Armour.

A few years ago I noticed that I was getting headaches when I started my

period. My holistic doc suspected a sex hormone issue and sure enough my

progesterone was low. Since adding the cream, I had no headaches when I started

my period. But last summer when I started the HC, I started getting the

headaches when I got my period. Val suspected this was because HC uses up my

Armour and suggested I stress dose a few days before my period. It helps a

little. But frankly, since adding the HC I don't feel better, and then during

my period I feel worse!! I've since doubled my Armour dose, but I still feel

sick virtually every single day.

And I've never noticed a difference when adding any vitamins/supplements or

even the sea salt. Most days I'm shocked I get out of bed and make it to work.

I was looking through my emails the other day and noticed one about how high

insulin will keep cortisol levels low. Well, I feel like I can't lift my head

without tons of sugar and caffeine. I used to totally avoid soda - diet or

regular. Now I feel like I can't function or stay awake without it. It's a

viscious circle - the low cortisol makes me tired and fatigued so I drink and

eat caffeine and sugar, yet my cortisol will never raise without lowering my

sugar levels. Yet everytime I cut out sugar and carbs, I feel like I'm

withdrawing from heroin and I can't even deal.

I hate to say this, but I have a friend who is HIV+ and he is so healthy and

strong from the medicines designed to boost his immune system. And I struggle

every day!! Dare I say it would be easier to be HIV+ then have the chronic

hormone issues I have??????

But, FYI - Val told me to raise 1/4 grain weekly until I got to 98.4, then

every two weeks increase 1/4 grain until I got to 98.6 (I think - I'll recheck

her email to me from months ago that I kept). So far I'm not noticing any

change. I just think it's ironic that my temps finally raised after stress

dosing an extra grain, and yet it still wasn't 98.6!! Does this mean I need an

extra grain at the very least???? Soooo frustrating to understand.

Hi Sammie

Dr Peatfield says in his book something like temps will only rise slowly and

sometimes will not get to 98.6. I think that's what he said anyway? anyone

read his book to confirm or otherwise?

Tell me more, Sammie, about stress-dosing with Armour pse? I know of one

other person in England who does this and when I tried to copy her when I was

attending a three-day training event I took some extra Armour and just went

hyper!!
