Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 >>So how fast do you think I can raise? Since my adrenals are still pretty fragile even though my stemps are quite steady, I know I have to be very careful.<< It seem s to me your whoel problem has been raising too fast! I would not raise more than 15MG per week. And I would LOWER that HC. That will cause you more problems than it is worth so take a week or two off thyroid raises to get the HC back to a reasonable level. Taking too much HC just to be able to raiuse faster is NOT a good solution and will come back to bite you. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 >>Okay, Val, I'm getting it. So, add 15 mg of armour every week when dose/adrenals are stable. Does this mean when I get my dose back down to my previous 27.5-30?<< Yes >>What do you suggest for tapering? For the past week or so, I've been dosing between 37.5-40. Today I dosed 15-12.5-7.5-5. I had good energy all morning for the first time in a week but was quite tired all afternoon, which means I need to cut my morning doses, right? How do you suggest I do this? And for how long?<< Yes you would cut the AM dosing first to 12.5 - 10 - 7.5 - 5 For abotu 5 days check temps and see if they are stable then. 10 - 10 - 7.5 - 5 -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 >>Add any more to what I'm currently taking?, which is 30 mg armour, having started 15 mg last week and added 15 mg this week. Is this dose okay until I get back down to stable hc dose? Or do you mean cut the armour out all together? Temps today continue to be stable, and I feel tons better than I have in weeks on lower hc dose.<< I mean to not add MOREin while lowering HC. It will make lowering VERY painful! JUst hold where you are with thyroid iuntil the HC dose is lower and temps stabilize. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
