Re: Stress-dosing gone awry? - for Val

[Guest guest]

I don't understand why oyuu are doubling every dose. That is reserved

for flu and major illness. Usual stress dosing is per symptoms,. An

extra 5MG here and then wait to se if shaking por nausea stops thne

repeat if it does not.

Trying to get through a rough patch after increasing Armour by 1/8

grain this weekend and in anticipation of tomorrow's traveling. Is

there anything that I can do now to bring this pressure down other

than the sea-salt that I drank a little while ago? Take an aspirin? I

won't double down again tomorrow, just stress-dose in the morning

before traveling and then again if needed later?

No aspirin. There is litle you cna do but let it run it 's course. You

can [pre stress dose except for abnout 4 hours before a stress,. Doesn;t

work to make it easier to do it before then. It is not in stroke range

and does little damage unless prolonged.

, Val usually goes to bed by 10 p.m. and I'm obviously not her,

but will offer up what I do know.

Yesterday someone asked about pounding heart and Val said it could be

one of 4 things: Low sodium, low magnesium, low thyroid or high

cortisol. You drank sea salt, so that's good. Do you have any

magnesium you can take? That might lessen the pounding since it's a

muscle/mind relaxant. We already know you're low thyroid, but you

were that way yesterday too, without these symptoms, so I'm thinking

that by moving to cream AND doubling, the result is more than double,

since cream has much better absorption. Especially on someone like

you who already has GI issues.

Yesterday, adding another 1/8 grain at bedtime worked for for

her pounding heart and she was able to sleep, but you're not .

Your increase in HC today would use up whatever thyroid you DID have,

making you even more hypo with the pounding heart hypo symptom. You

should certainly have enough HC in you now to tolerate an additional

1/8 grain.

But should you travel tomorrow? I don't know. Luckily, Val's an

early riser and starts answering e-mails about 4 a.m.!

If we could only all wish each other to be well . . .

I slept until 2:30EST before waking up hungry and still with the

splitting headache. I just ate and drank some water. I don't have

any mag here. We're leaving for the airport at 6AM. I doubt that

I'll sleep any more tonight. I'm tempted to take 2.5mg of HC but if

what I have done is put too much cortisol in my body than I'm afraid

to do so and, based on my experience and your husband's, it won't help

me sleep anymore at this point. FUnny is that I haven't really had a

noticeably pounding heart, just the sweating, splitting headache, GI

upset, and then the BP through the roof although that monitor is suspect.

So, if Val sees this before I have to leave, do I start out with

another big glass of sea-salt water and my usual morning dose of HC of

10mg plus another 5mg for the traveling? It will be at 5:30 which is

3 hours earlier than usual, but 7 1/2 hours after my last dose.

Thanks for responding.

I made it without my head exploding. The splitting headache,

sweating, heart hammering and BP on that monitor, even if it was

artifically high, was real scary. I'm having a hard time explaining

to my MIL and others how sea-salt helps lower BP. Do we have a file

or good link that I can share. If it was that my cortisol was too

high, wouldn't it be dangerous to stress-dose 80mg when sick?

When you are ill you USE alot more cortiosl to fight the infewction so you do

not get high cortils symptoms.
