Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Val: " Olif I would go to 30MG HC. You are just on the edge of barely enough and the tiniest thing is sendingyou low cortisll. " Thanks, Val. I think you are right. I have a nodule on my thyroid, and it seems to be a good indicator of whether my cortisol is low. It is larger and occasionally stings, if my cortisol gets too low. It has been almost 3 hours since my last dose, and I have that funny low cortisol heart feeling, and my nodule is large. Here is how I am dosing: 10mg 6am 7.5mg 10am 5mg 2pm 5mg bedtime Where should I increase? Can I do it all in the first dose, as long as I can tolerate it? Thanks! -Olif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 If the second dose of 10 is too much I would suspect you would have low cortisol symptms 2 hours after the third dose. -- 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...

Hi Val, I'm chiming in here b/c I'm planning to lower my current hc of 32.5 (6am: 10, 10am:10, 2 pm: 7.5, bedtime: 5) to 30. I was planning to cut the second dose to 7.5--do you think this is a good way to go? I take my 3rd dose at 2 pm...are you saying I'd have low cortisol symptoms around 4 from the incorrect 2nd dose of the day? I'm assuming this is b/c ACTH is lower from the previous dose?? Is this true throughout the day? This is so hard to figure out! thanks Val, Dahlia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 >>I'm assuming this is b/c ACTH is lower from the previous dose?? Is this true throughout the day? This is so hard to figure out! << Yes this is why I recommend starting wiht th every first dose of the day when lowering. Hi Val, Please help me out....I'm currently dosing like this (total 32.5): 10, 10, 7.5, 5 at bedtime. I'm planning to drop by 2.5 b/c I feel really bad after I take my 2nd dose and tired at around 4 pm. I will be at work all day, so I won't get your answer until tonight and am planning to change my 2nd dose to 7.5....do you think I'd be better off changing the first dose first? I can try that tomorrow if you think so. Please let me know your suggested dose change for this 2.5 drop and also the next one, which I will try in about 5-7 days. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 10, 10, 7.5, 5 at bedtime. As you already have too high a second dose for proper rythym I would lower it first -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one day is too soon to tell anything, but I'm glad you think that's the right approach. Thank you, Dahlia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
