Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I raised to 25mg HC(10mg, 7.5mg, 5mg, 2.5 bed) yesterday and felt better all day. Today my temps were 98.3 this morning when I woke and now(11:00am) my temps are 97.0 I don't understand, what's happening? I feel really hypo. Right now my t3 dose is 25mcg(wake), 12.5(noon), 12.5(5:00p), and 12.5(bed)--62.5mcg. Do I just need more T3. Is it possible that the raise in HC used up some pooling t3 and that's why I felt better yesterday? I just don't get why my basal today was good and then it started to fall? Thank you for helping me.

Val will confirm this as I am less experienced in adrenals than she is but it sounds to me like you need more HC. You were making some in your body still and that together with the 25, let you feel well. Adding the extra has now reduced your own bodies production and left you short again, a feedback loop biting you in the ass. Hopefully Val will confirm this and suggest a new dosing Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hmm, I figured my ACTH was at zero by now. When I started to take HC, 2.5mg for 2 days, it dropped my temperature down to 92(no joke) and my legs turned blue. Val suggested I go up a lot faster since it looked like the feed back loop was shutting my own production down fast. That was 1 1/2 years ago. I'm worried because 40mg HC(sublingual) gave me cushings symptoms within 2 weeks. Thanks Nick. I was thinking of raising t3 instead, not a good idea then?

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Would this be the next increase of HC? 10, 10, 5, 2.5 =27.5? Right now I'm on 10, 7.5, 5, 2.5= 25mg. When it's time, what the best way to increase t3 from 25mcg, 12.5mcg, 12.5mcg, 12.5mcg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be an idea to head over to http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ as they know far more than I do >Would this be the next increase of HC? 10, 10, 5, 2.5 =27.5?
