I would have to go to the Gp to get that and theywill start shouting at me again to get me back on BP meds. which I want to avoid. have tried 3 different ones already and the sides were awful. Maybe I will go to the health food shop and see if they have anything they can suggest. thanks. Mo www.NOVACounselling.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A man came into the store (I work in a hfs), and said he took fish oil, and within 3 months his bp dropped A LOT. That won't help in the short run, but it might in the long run. Have you ever had your cortisol tested? Do you think it could be high instead of low? Sometimes the symptoms can mimic each other. Hi Olif I do take fish oils every day olif - 3 grams. My cortisol tested low but because I have been on 35 mg h.c I am guessing that I have high cortisol at the moment. Cut it back by 2 1/2 recently and will cut it again in a couple of days and hope this will bring improvement. Val if you are reading this - dop you know how low I would need to go with the h.c before I could reasonably expect to see a lowered Bp in response?

There is something we are missing in this picture. I sure wish I could help you figure it out I went as high as 4 1/4 grains Val, dropped to 4 after a week, then when that did not help the palps, I lowered from 4 to 3 for a few days. When that did not help I dropped Armour completely for one day (that was yesterday) and today I am on 3 3/4 grains. Ihave been in a bad way since i increased to 4 1/4 on 17th Februay, around that time anyway BUT I have never been anything other than hypo, apart from the odd few hours, since I started on Armour two years ago!

It is very individual and CHANGES as your adrenla output changes. MIne has changed recently.. Probably wiht my thyroid med changed but I am not able to lower HC right now due to the extra stress I am adding by chenging thyroid meds so I am on Dyazide to compensate until I can lower the HC in a couple more weeks. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
