Re: How long to support with HC before adding in Armour?

[Guest guest]

>>I KNOW this has been asked somewhere before, but I can't seem to locate

the answer. Once you have stabilized temps, how long do you need to

stay on the HC before beginning the Armour? <<

You need stable temps at least 3-4 days then SLOWLY add in Armoru 15mg at a

time. Then as ong as temps are stable you can build at 15mg weekly incrreases

till you get to 2.5 grains then slow the raises way down to eveyr 6 weeks and do

labs ot see where you are.

>>2nd Question: How do you know when to start reducing your HC?<<

When you have NO adrenal symptoms and are at a perfect dose of thyroid, you can

try to start weaning SLOWLY. It mist be done very gradually so your adrneals can

pick back up and also to ease the stress as they will be tender for months after

and maybe longer than that. Stress dose READILY if you feel you need to and let

your body tell you when it is ready to lower more and you will be fine.,

>>PS for Val: I really do seem to be have stabilized my temps with 32.5

mg (total for the day) cortef. I've hit an average of 97.7 or 97.6 for

three days in a row. Yeah! Thanks for your help. I hope you have a

great Thanksgiving.<<

YAY!!! Happy Holidays to you too!

>>I'm taking T3 and can't go without it. My temps dive to 95 and I feel

horrible if I don't take it. I'm trying to figure out how to tell if I'm on

enough adrenal support. My temps raise when I take the T3 (usually to 97.7

ish). With my temperature fluctuating how can I tell if I'm on adequate

support? I know I'm not there yet, but I don't know how to tell when I am. If

I take Isocort for a couple of weeks then add in 1/4 grain Armour with no

difficulty, I guess I'm good. What will happen if I try to add the Armour and

am not on enough support?<<

I take T3 and MY temps don;t fluctuate. It shoudl not interfere with the temp

graphing at all.

Uh oh. I thought the fluctuations were because I'm taking the T3 at 7:30,

12:00, 4:00 and at bedtime. My temps rise about an hour afterwards then start

going down again. Shoot, I didn't think that could be my adrenals. Thanks Val.

I would have kept increasing the T3 dose thinking it was the T3.

Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving!

The fluctuations I refer to are NOT within a day anyway,. They ar the day to day

AVERAGE of the three temps you take using Dr Rind's temp graphing method whihc

is VERY differnt. go to his site adn read the direction. www.drrind.com
