Re: Starting fludrocrtisone/florinef

[Guest guest]

Take Florinef as soon as oyu are awake enough, what you take it with

matters not at all. But sometime during the day oyu should be taking sea

salt water as well. I out a little in eveyr bottle I drink.

Thank you. I dip my finger in the celtic salt container

all the time. Just now I took my first dose. It's the

weekend so I will be with my fiance, then on Sunday we

are going to the CFL (Canadian Football League) finals

in Vancouver. Hope I don't turn into anything purple

and green...

Sam :-D

The worst side effect form Florinef i got was a bit of a woozy head as

if you had fluid in it as it changes the fluid balance in your body. It

wasn't really bad though.

worry then. <grin>

Day # 3 on fludrocortisone. I didn't take my morning Armour dose due

to seeing ARNP near the noon hour. My heart rate was at " my " low

normal, and my BP was only slightly elevated. Temperature 98.6.

ARNP was an idiot, but what else is new... Showed him the labs on my

Aldoserone and Renin and he said " those are kidney tests " , and I said

that I supposed one could say they might be, however the tests were

specifically ment to see where my aldosterone/renin were in regard to

my adrenals, and he said he wasn't going to Rx anything for it

because florinef lowers cortisol, and he would just let my naturopath

handle that.

I also mentioned his previous concern for the edema in my legs months

before, and one or 2 other issues I mentioned to him at that time

(which I now realize 'were' more signs of low aldosterone), and that

it was too bad he hadn't caught " it " back then. I firmly

believe " that " prompted him to Rx my Armour and BHRT as I had wanted

him to do in the first place. heh

I got home a little after 2pm and started having arrythmia, but not

on purpose. Banana didn't work, and celtic salt only worked

slightly. Epsom salts and hydrogen peroxide in a hot water bath also

helped slightly. It could be that I should have had my 2nd dose of

Armour, but I don't know. At 12:30am it is not nearly as bad as

during the previous hours. If I don't sleep it off, I'll let you

know... but is this part of " it " , Val? Should I wank it up to half a

tab only after 3 days, or should I wait it out at least 5 days total?

I'm MSG esnsitive, but had none of that today at all.

I suspect that may be more due to doctor stress ( & messed up Armoru

timing)than anything! I woudl not ramp it up faster.. It can be BAD if

you do. Do you take magnesium?

Oh I've had wayyyyyyy more doctor stress that that " with " being

blackmailed by doctors and being off Armour for 3 days in a row for

testing, without getting arrythmia. Being thyroidless, 3 days off

Armour is harsh to say the least.

I can not take a magnesium supplement in pill form as it literally

knocks me out - sitting down and I just go " out " like a light (same

thing happens when I supp selenium). I can, however, take it in the

form of epsom salts baths 3 days per week. That amount seems to

be " enough " . At least I think.

Ok, I'll remain on 1/4 tab fludrocortisone for another 2-4 days,

including today.
