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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
