Guest guest Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Hi Started the HC cream yesterday took 10 mg tablet first thing then 30 mg cream rest of day over 4 more doses, felt no different. This morning took blood glucose at 6.30 was 5.1 - what does this mean? (range says 3.3 to 13.3 so presume good?) put on 10mg hc cream then decided had sore throat and took 5mg hc tablet. By 7.30 was feeling sick and dizzy. Had protein pancake and took blood glucose at 8am was 4.8 - help what does this mean. Feel ok now at 9.30, just normal pain, fatigue etc. Was sickness? too much Hc? start of cold? fatigue? due to pain? Do I need to be worried? Should I take my next dose of HC? bp 99/62 sitting bp 94/64 standing Sorry Val I seem to ask loads of questions and never get this straight. Thanks Caroline caroline gebbie wrote: Val sorry forgot to ask would you start at a lower dose? on the cream and if so how much. Currently on 40 mg cortef bp falling on standing. Thanks Caroline wrote: >>I raised my cortef 2 days ago to 40 as bp still dropping on standing. It still dropped today from 105/66 97/68 I am on no t3 at present trying to stabalise temps. Temps average last few days: 98.1 97.4 98.4 96.0 Any advice<< Caroline, I do nto think you are absorbing the HC properly, nto from these temps on that high a dose. Can you try HC cream? Try it slowly like 1 dose (largest dose first) in the AM and see hiw you feel then? I cannto in all conscience recommend oyu go any higher. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ --------------------------------- Get easy, one-click access to your favorites.

Food timing with glucose readings is necessary as there is a digestion curve which also creates an insulin/glucose curve. >> Was sickness? too much Hc? start of cold? fatigue? due to pain?

I took the first HC 10 mg cream at 6.45 am ish then about 10 mins later took a 5 mg tablet by 7.30 was dizzy and feeling sick. >>Had protein pancake and took blood glucose at 8am was 4.8 - help what does this mean.

I took another 5mg hc cream at 12 noon, should have been 10mg at 11 am but have felt unwell all day so too scared to take full 10mg. At moment I have severe neck pain and feel unwell. Thing is this could be just how I am or a reaction to the cream working better than the tablets. Not sure what to do, am going to have a bath and go to bed because of the pain, but would you use cream or go back to tablets for hc for rest of day? How do I tell if this is too much hc because of change to cream?

Food timing with glucose readings is necessary as there is a digestion curve which also creates an insulin/glucose curve. About 1/2 hour << 1/2 hour nothing but sugars may be digested. it takes at least 1-2 hours for most food to peak the glucose in the blood thne it is a alow curve back to normal. Your reading wiht what you ate was fasting. >> I took another 5mg hc cream at 12 noon, should have been 10mg at 11 am but have felt unwell all day so too scared to take full 10mg.

Only change out ONE dose at a time. Your symptoms sound ALL low cortisol high would be HIGH BP, Fluid retention, puffy face, and will take a few dyas to surface. -- 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...
