Since I've been stress-dosing a little to deal with family/traveling,

etc. (but not doubling every dose this time), I've been at right

around or just over 40mg for the past few days. Do I pull back to

35mg and work my way up to this 40mg dose, or can I just settle there

tomorrow now that we're finally going home from this overly long

holiday/stress period? It's been stated several times that men

typically need more HC than the 20-30mg Jeffries talks about and my

doc didn't blink at the 32.5mg that I'm on and was fine with going

higher. Is 40mg probably OK for me to be on long term?

The only way you will know that is to stay on it. I would not go down then work

your way back up, that will onyl confuse the adrenals more. I would hold the

dose but watch for BP changes and blood sugar changes that would indicate high

cortisol.

I am on 35 mg and this is the first dose my temps are looking better at.

With you being a man and with digestive issues, I think 40 until you get

your issues worked on is fine.

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

Any recommendations for what to pick up? Are there instructions in

the files for what to look for to know that HC is where it needs to be

or too high?

That's what I'm hoping anyway. I've had some uncomfortable times

(like last week when my BP skyrocketed and my head felt like it was

going to explode) that I now know were thyroid dumps from getting

better absorption from the cream (I was stress-dosing that day and

doubled my HC cream doses) than the pills. I guess that I'll have to

watch closely for high-cortisol symptoms if I get the GI healed up

some and start getting better absorption. Hopefully I will have been

increasing my Armour in the meantime. My thyroid symptoms have been

somewhat better over the past week since increasing A by 1/8 grain,

but I need a lot more.

Hi val

do you mean BP drop upon standing should be checked to find out if we are high

in dosage?

thanks a lot.

I would avoid the cheap store brands and stick wiht Bayer or one of the other

name brands. I use either an Ascensia Elite which is no longer being made or a

Bayer Contour which I really liek as well.

>>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;

That's about what my BP was that night and the headache was

incredible. I did end up taking more HC by applying my bed-time dose

of cream and the symptoms ultimately resolved I guess b/c I didn't

have a stroke and I made it to OH via air. My BP at the doc's office

the next day was like 113/72. That is really good to know to eat and

take more HC b/c I was freaking out a little that I had taken more HC

that night. How much more - 5mg?
