Guest guest Posted September 13, 2002 Report Share Posted September 13, 2002 Hello< The infection problems and the temp.intolerance may go together..... has hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism and they just assume adrenal insuffencies (witch means his immune system isn't up to par) apparently they all go together he just has to take a thyroid pill, some calcium, and a tiny dose of steroids every day ...He still gets sick but I think it has more to do with the trach then anything else because it is aways repertory illnesses.....they call this partial degeorge sequence he doesn't have the chromosome part of it .... has any one on this list tried using a one cc/ml syringe (also called a tb syringe) attached to the suction tubing ,to suction noses? we use it to suction s trach most of the time (he coughs it up that far) and his nose all the time it doesn't fit in either far enough to do any damage or introduce infection it doesn't have to be kept sterile We have been doing this since first got his trach (they taught us this at the hospital) it protects against bloody noses from people slipping with a cath and I thinks its just easier for the kids to take ( laughs when you do it now), and with a trach it encourages the cough reflex to get stronger ..... I hope this helped some .. mom to 11 months. http://community.webtv.net/maryechick12/ http://community.webtv.net/maryechick12/pets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hi Mari, I would be splitting the dosage up into 3 times a day: Upon waking. Just before lunch. Just before dinner. This should space it it around every 5 hours..or so. As your dosage goes higher you can add a 4th time-bedtime. Some of us find that doseing every 2 to 3 hours works best for them...For me, with my current live dosing 4 times a day is what I can manage easily. After all, our bodies, when funcitoning correctly, dribbles out the Thyroid hormones all day long. I feel that it is best for our bodies if we try to immulate its processes..within reason.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 Hi Mari, Definitely space out the taking of the Armour. And some of us space out the adrenal support as well. I take generic Armour sublinguilly. I have found that I have to wait to take my adrenal support until after I have something to eat...if I take it on an empty stomach I have internal muscle twitching for a few hours...kindof like my body goes into hyperdrive with a few of my muscles.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Mari, Each of us are so very different.. I'll throw in my own schedule... I space out my natural thyroid (generic of Armour) every 3 hours... I take an adrenal glandular and take that in one dose with my first morning dose of thyroid... that seems to be working fine for me. You may have to do some trial and error to find what your body prefers. Topper () On Mon, 08 Nov 2004 05:27:42 -0000 "gossimerwingz" writes: Hi Mari, Definitely space out the taking of the Armour.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Hi Val- This is somewhat off topic, but just wondering what you think. I’ve come up with a big throbbing infection of a tooth. It just came up overnight out of the blue and is throbbing and swollen. Do you think that stress dosing some HC might help a little until I can get some other treatment for it? Right now I’m taking 25 mg and I’ve rubbed a little tea tree oil on the gum around it. Any ideas? Thanks, Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 ANY infection requires more cortilsl to help combat it as well as the inflammation so it would be a good idea to take soem extra for those reasons, but I doubt it will clear up the infection. I would get some antibiotics for that.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Thanks. I was planning on getting some antibiotics but not sure how to do that early Sunday morning. Unless I go to the ER. Otherwise it’ll probably be tomorrow. We’ll see how it goes – might have to do the ER if it gets any worse.
