Re: Stop Armour Until Adrenals Better?

[Guest guest]

Are Dr 's adrenal supplements actual " cortisol " or things to

help adrenals strengthen w/o cortisol? I ask because sometimes we

thyroidless folks need the real deal 'because' our adrenals get so

fried.

Loosing a thyroid has such a huge gigantor impact on the entire body.

More than you could imagine. If I remember correctly, the first time

I took Cortef my " holy mother of god " adrenal symptoms (at 3+ grains

of Armour) magically went away in about half an hour. I did end up on

Deltacortril (prednisoLone), tho...mmmm at 7.5mg for about 2 years.

>>I have no thyroid and am experiencing anxiety and shakiness almost to

the point of not functioning. My saliva tests show very high cortisol

and blood test showed low ferritin (7). I have been on 90 mg Armour

for about a month and a half, tried raising it to 120 and had lots of

anxiety. Should I go back on Synthroid until my cortisol level comes

down and ferritin goes back up?<<

I would go on a lower dose of Armour. 60mg will keep you alive while you build

the Ferritin up.
