Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 >>Can you have a thyroid dump at just 5 mg of cortef?<< I doubt it.Is it shaky feelings abotu 3 hours after the dose? If so that is just your ACTH being lowered and you may need ot increase the HC a bit faster. A thyroid dump your temps will go to 99+ and stay there. -- 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...

If so that is just your ACTH being lowered and you may need ot increase the HC a bit faster. A thyroid dump your temps will go to 99+ and stay there. So if I get the shakes and my temps are below 99, I need to increase my HC? I'm still trying to find out just why I feel so lousy. I'm at 5 1/4 grains and a long time ago I felt great on 5. Now, I am feeling like the HC makes me more jittery and irritable. Are you saying it may be because I need more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little bit of ACTH supression causes you to run even lower onm cortiosl later in the day. -- 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...

If it means anything, my temps are running 97ish to 98ish, but I am sure my bp is a bit high. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 10-5-2.5-2.5 This rythym may be part of the problem as well. too much in the morning will lower ACTH too much later in the day. I would add 10 - 5 - 5 - 2.5 and if that doesn;t help a better plan is this 10 - 7.5 - 5 - 2.5 -- 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...

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 ACTH is the pituitary hormone that tells the adrenals to make more cortisol. -- 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...
