Re: Ramping up to 40mg of HC/ 3 - 3 1/2 hour schedule

<I'm going to pick up a BS monitor this week with flex spending money.

Any recommendations for what to pick up?>

W-l M-rt has their own brand for about ten bucks. I think the monitor and a box

of test strips cost me about thirty.

Val,

I know high and low cortisol have some of the same symptoms. As we heal, how do

we monitor ourselves to find out if we're going high? I've been reading this

thread and some others. I know we should watch blood sugar, heart rate, and

blood pressure, but don't know what to watch for in each.

Thanks!!

Blood sugar over 99 in a fastign state that repeats, in other words do nto use a

sample of one and make certain you are not ill whne you do this as illness

elevates glucose. Pounding heart when oyu feel thyroid is opimal and not low can

be from high cortisol. BP that goes from low to high indicates you have passed

what you need.

Val, just curious, is what describes a thyroid dump or an

overdose of HC? Can you clarify how the symptoms differ?

As physiciams regularly hand out scriopts for 50mg Pred which equals 200MG HC it

is VERY unlikely to be from an OD of hc. In fact it is impossible. What happened

when he took extra HC was there was SOME thyroid built up in his blood that had

not been able to enter the cells due to slightly low cortiosl. It does nto take

much to create a small thyrodi dump. But when the thyroid sufddenly enters the

cells several things happen. First there is a call to the adrenals for MORE

CORTISOL to handle the increased metabolic load. Well they don;t have any more

to give so they respond with ADRENALINE. UP goes Glucose, heart rate and BP,

which if it goes suddenly high enough creates a HUGE headache. If ther is no

glucose to nbe released form the liver, you will then experience the shakes and

debilitating mental sympotms of hypoglycemia. NOT a good feeling at all! It is

important to take both more HC and some FOOD at this point to lower the

adrenalsine and then you will almost instantly feel better.

Thanks Val. So I guess when my BP was 170/100 and pulse 100, and

severely hypoglycemic because I was severely hypo (only on 1/2

grain), I was running on adrenaline. My temps were never low though;

does adrenaline elevate your temps too?

I have not been able to find any info on that but I think it does raise temps

too.
