Hi ~Dana

So good to hear from you. Yes I am feeling scared and very alone. You got it

in one!

I feel a bit better with Val's suggestion about the Atkin's diet which I am

going to do. I have put on a lot of weight and cannot continue eating as I

have been. So maybe the protein will help the hypoglaecemia which seems to be

an

underlying problem for me.

I am so sorry you are going thru this! I am in about the same boat

as you at this point. I am not bed-bound though, still able to

function but, barely!

It is truly horrible, isn't it, especially not knowing what to do for the

best or what the outcome will be.

It all started with my last Armour raise.

Stress dosing bc of severe fast heart beats and I haven't been able

to wean down bc when I do, I get severe affects. I am having periods

of facial sweating, fast, pounding heart rate, fluid retention,

depression..depression..<WBR>...you name it! Every time I try to lowe

worse and I cannot get a handle on it bc I have to work and cannot be

sweating, shaking etc.....at work.

Excuse my very bad memory (I am sure we may have discussed this before) but

how much magnesium are you taking at bedtime? I upped mine to 500 mg. from 400

mg.

How much h/c are you now taking?

I had an acupuncture session last week which helped to stop the fast heart

rate. Would you consider something like that? It sorted me out in terms of the

palps and I noticed they only began again when I expended too much energy.

Is there any chance you could take a week's sick leave from work so that you

can deal with this whilst taking it very easy i.e. not expending energy

going to work which is using up h.c?

What are you eating? I think the regular high-protein, low-carb eating is

going to help me.

I wish I could take a week off

and try to lower my HC that way.

Is this not possible? You ARE ill.

I am extremely sad and aggravated

and can only imagine you feel the same or worse!

Yes I feel like I am barely alive at the moment. Have ust managed a bath and

feel very pleased with myself for managing that at least but it is

mid-afternoon! My poor dog is sitting staring at me with begging eyes and I

cannot

take him out.

I keep wondering

how it get to this point? All I want is to be able to wean off the

HC now, and have no one to help me do so.....I am sure you feel all

alone, like I do. It is really hard to try to explain our symptoms

and for anyone to REALLY know what is going on. Today my morning

temp. is 96.2!

What are your average temps like? Mine are unstable with a low early morning

temp like you.

I think that the increased HC has depleted all of the

increase and more of Armour in my body.

This may have happened to me also. Still I decreased quarter grain just to

get the palps gone. They did go but not fully until I had the acupuncture and

now they appear if I expend energy i.e. walk.

Now, I am left, weak and am

now getting sick again. (bad cold) Now, what am I supposed to

do??? Getting sick on top of all of this......sigh

Just been reading that a cold is not always a negative thing. It enables the

body to shed old, toxic cells and replace with new, healthy ones. Are you

taking max. amount of Vit C i.e. super-dosing? Are you taking B5? seasalt?

Sorry that I went on about myself but, just wanted to let you know

that you are not the only one who is having a difficult time with

this whole thing.....YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

It does really help to know this.

Today is my day off and I am

resting and will try to reduce my HC today. I am off tomorrow and

will hope that I can get a handle on this the next 2 days so I can

feel more normal again. I am also scared that I have ruined my

Adrenals in all of this mess.....what have I done permantely to my

poor body by this guessing game??

Yes that is my fear too.

I don't want to leave an

impression that HC is bad for you! That for most it really helps and

heals! But, for those of us who were not maybe as SMART with dosing

and figuring things out, it hasn't been good for us. I pray that you

and I will be healed soon. I will say a prayer for you. You are in

my thoughts and prayers!! Please know that. :0)

I am thinking of buying homeopathic adrenal gland tomorrow and am just

waiting to hear back from the homeopathic pharmacy about what strength dose I

should take and for how long.

Ditto Thyrodinium, homeopathic thyroid.

I will let you know how that goes.

I am confused as well Dana. Just reading your post made me think that my

temps did not go high when I went hyper recently - the highest they went at

that

time was 97.7.

Does this mean that i was NOT hyper? That the problems I was having were

adrenal only?

I cannot help but think that it is going to be nigh impossible for you to

decide what your true temp. is until the viral infection has passed. It may be

the case that you are both hyper AND your temp. is doubly increased by the

infection but only time will tell for sure I suppose.

It will be interesting to see what your labs show.

Still in a very bad way at this end. Had to risk a short walk this morning

to get in some essentials from the local shops and I got panicky and shakey

just doing that and my legs felt like they were made of jelly. Been in bed ever

since.

Have started the Atkins Induction Diet and hope that this will help.

Mo,

Thanks for your post....I don't have a lot of time right now to reply

but, wanted you to know that I just posted that I might be actually

hyper now? (read post titled " OM-Gosh-I think I might know what is

going on " ) Bought a new thermometer yesterday and have either a

fever or I am now hyper! Seems I might have had a defective

thermometer all this time...will see in a few days if that is the

case, if my temp. does go down. Might explain why I have been having

the heart pounding, sweating etc....since my last Armour raise?

Anyways, thanks again for your post and will try to answer some of

your questions to me soon. ;0)

p.s. are you feeling any better?

Yes and to further complicate things, the hyper can stress the adrenals even

more making you require even more HC to handle it.
