AMAZING that you have a doc who said to go up until you get a

result...wonderful!! Majoring clappppppping and cheering.

I don't know the answer to your question about combining the adrenal

supplement with the prenisolone, but I do know you need to be

careful not to give yourself too much. You want to assist the

adrenals, not take them over...I believe.

You are a dear to your aunt. The one thing you need to be careful

about, though, is the effect that the T3 in Armour would have on her

heart. If it was me and my auntie, I'd go very very slowly. Pleaes

keep us informed---I hope she starts feeling warmer!!

First, Jane, God Bless You for having such a caring heart for your

aunt. I had full responsibility for elderly parents w/numerous

medical issues and know first hand the 'past sell by' attitude. So

sad and unfair. QUALITY of life should be top priority at any age!

Some of the coldness might be attributed to poor circulation. But I

would not rule out hypo and/or adrenals,DHEA etc. My dad was finally

diagnosed hypo at age 84! Speaking only from my own experiences with

my parents, I'd say go with YOUR instincts regarding your aunt. Just

remember that seniors are much more sensitive to many drugs. Often,

they have some renal insufficiency so their systems can't flush

excesses adequately. Just start low and take it slow. She is

fortunate to have you as her advocate.

Take care.

Dear Janie,

thank you for your feedback... and the warning about the heart... I shall be

upping it very gently... its hard to get compliance at best.. when treating

the elderly who view Drs. as gods... even when these Gods.. don't want to

know.

Regards Jane
