Hi Val,

I am having this really strange reaction to my h.c....when I take it,

I get incredibly tired...today, I took 7.5 for my second dose; prior

to that I was feeling up-beat and energetic, I was out fertilizing my

garden and had to stop, I felt I needed a nap! For my third dose, I

took 5 mg. and I was going to take 5 mg for my fourth dose. My temps

are steady, but definitely low--97.7.

I'm not getting why I'm having this reaction???

Can you advise further?

thanks,

Dahlia

It sounds like it is time for a thyroid increase. Now that the thyroid

is able to get into the cells you are running out of it.

Val,

do you really think it is 'safe' to increase armour while decreasing hc?

I'm also having stiffness in my back, unrelated to anything...do you

think that is from too much hc or, hmmmm, not enough armour?

I recently tried increasing my armour dose and couldn't handle it, in

terms of feeling too revved up.

If your temps are low with this symptoms you shouldn't be reducing HC at all. It

is not a too much thyroid symptoms but a too low cortisol symptom.

This could explain why I was fabulous yesterday, but pretty tired today, huh?! I

am not on Armour yet...Today is day 8 on HC, and I am at 15 mg total.

Thanks,

Hi Val,

I really don't think it's a thyroid increase I need, but an h.c.

decrease. What I notice is that I feel better as the hc wears off, but

I'm not really having any thyroid symptoms. I feel over stimulated, if

anything, and edgy. The temps are low-ish, but I am feeling better and

better, so I think it makes sense to go by that for now.

I should mention that I started DHEA about 3 weeks ago. With DHEA, I

feel a return to energy levels and motivation and mental clarity that I

thought I would never find again! I wonder if anyone else has had this

experience?

I know DHEA is made by the adrenals and I'm wondering if I can go up on

DHEA and down, maybe off h.c.?? I can't find any info on taking DHEA and

h.c.

Also, in the past few weeks, I stopped cortef and began taking

hydrocortone--is hydrocortone stronger than Cortef, and/or does it last

in the system longer? If so, might that explain why I may feel I need

less? And perhaps I should be timing the doses further apart?

BTW, after decreasing the second dose, which dose would you decrease

next, and how long should I wait after each decrease?

thanks,

Dahlia

10, 5, 7.5 and 2.5. would be the next reduction. Each decrease should be held at

leat a week if not ,longe. but a minimum of a week.
