Increased anxiety on HC?????

[Guest guest]

Okay so I have been off work since last thursday because of my wig

out session that left everyone including myself frantic. I started

HC 12 days ago after switching from Isocort. Most things are better

aches and pains gone, less dizzy, I can breathe through my nose and

have stopped caughing up lung cookies. I still am having major panic

attacks, still dizzy and shaking. I have been keeping a log of all

the medication I am taking. I tried to go to work this morning and

was doing okay until I got to a red light and I started shaking like

a leaf. I had to pull over into a parking lot and call work and tell

them I was freaking out and shaking all over the place. I then

called my poor husband and we talked as I went through the wigging

out session. I had to stress dose 15 mg HC to calm down enough to

drive back home. There is nothing like spending 45 minutes in a

parking lot where all of the businesses are closed and freak out. I

honestly don't think that HC and I getting along and was wondering if

switching back to Isocort would be the next step. I took my morning

dose at 6am of 7.5mg HC and 2 grains of armour. I have been doing

good on 7.5mg HC 4x a day. I also am up to 4 1/2 grains of armour a

day spread throughout the day. I had to stress dose at 8:05am.

Should I switch or give this more time to adjust? I feel

liked a wipped puppy and not knowing what I am doing wrong is

frustrating as hell. I am very sleepy now and think I will go lay

down for a while to relax some.

Thanks,

Also wanted to add that I am still constantly cold, almost freezing

cold all day. We have had some crummy weather here like in the 80's

for about 2weeks and it has been in the 40's and 50's as highs. I

don't know if that has anything to do with me soooo cold or not.

But you have NO cortisol rythym this way which is why you are having

problems. Try this

12.5 - 7.5 - 5 - 5 I suspect oyu need alot more cortiosl and this is

why you are hacing these symptoms which are nothign but low cortiosl

symptoms.

I had something like this today - this morning at work. I didn't do anything

different than usual as far as meds, but around 8 a.m. started feeling funny,

kind of shaky. It wasn't bad, so I held off stress dosing to see if I could just

tough it out, and I did. I took my usual 5 mgs. of HC at 9 a.m. and I settled

down even more. I am wondering if psychologically we are reacting more than our

body is? Not sure, but I am better now, though not quite what I am usually, so I

am going to stick with my normal med schedule for the rest of the day. Maybe

sometimes we over-react and get in a tizzy? I do that at times about other

things, so maybe this is no different? I don't really know, but am throwing this

out there b/c of my morning exp. today.

BTW - I felt like I needed to up my Armour, but taking 2.5 grains at once is a

bit much for me; makes me hyper, so I added 1/4 grain in at 9 a.m. and it is

working out very well; did this a few days ago; the doc gave me 5 grains to

" play with " as he put it, so I could raise if I needed to. I will hold to this

for a few weeks to see how it settles out. So far so good; today was the only

bump so far.

The question is why do we over-react sometimes if we are normally not

the over-reacting type? I was always the cool as a cucumber type and

now I can fly into a rage over nothing. Definitely an adrenal

reaction

Personally for me, if I think about it too much, it happens. I can

make myself have heart palps. I can be fine, then all of a sudden I

start thinking about it, then it happens. If I take deep breaths, I

can usually stop them. Its a mind thing for me. I am the over-

reacting type. Or I should say, I let things bottle up, then I blow.

Also something else to think about with night sweats. I've always had

them, but they were going away. We then got a new mattress, one of

those dormias. Well let me tell you, those mattress do not breath.

That is the only way I can describe it. I sweat so bad that I am

ringing wet (not to be gross). When I went to visit my dad in FL,

nothing, no sweats at night. Strange hu?

Rages can be from several things. Too much thyroid, HC or just your body

has not adjusted yet, or too much Testosterone from low thyroid.I have

gone through ALL the above at different times!

Low Adrenal can cause rages.

Read Fat, Fuzzy, or Frazzled by Shames, MD & Karilee Shames, Ph.D.,

RN.....I mistyped before crediting the book to Christianne Northrup when it

was these 2 authors quoting Dr. Northrup in their book.

You must not be red headed like me, hehehe. I wrote on another group

tonight; it occured to me that it could also be hypoglycemic. Another thing I

did this morning that I just remembered tonight was that I ate a cheese stick

and some nuts and that also really helped. I don't know if that is what is

happening with you, but it might be worth a try. Like you said, maybe an adrenal

reaction; sometimes it takes patience and persistence to find the dose we do

well at. I started with Isocort, which I think helped to prepare me for HC when

I switched. I am NOT the cool as a cucumber sort; too redheaded for that, LOL!!!

This is definitely not the case for me. I know that when I have these symptoms,

something as simple as the phone ringing can give me anxiety and panic. Not

normal......definitely related to these crazy hormones.

I just got my Canary Club results back and it showed too much testosterone - I

was kind of surprised. Is this usually a result of low thyroid??

It is very common in hypo. Fix the hypo and it tends to go back to

normal. I really feel it is related to the adrenals though I have not

investigated why.
