Why does it seem like my needs for HC increase after raising?

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

About 6 weeks ago I raised HC from 22.5 to 25. I had tried to go to 25 before

but always had symptoms and went back down. Once you mentioned it might be ACTH

suppression.

Before this last raise, I was doing really well at 22.5 but my bp was still

dropping significantly and I was getting high readings of FT3 on labs but BBT

still low - 97.0 - ish.

After this last raise, I've never felt the same, I feel closer to how I did

before I started meds. I just added another 1/4 pill of Florinef and today it

seemed to take me to feeling more like I did before the raise. My face filled

out, the dull headache lifted and I felt more normal. But now, by late

afternoon, it's gone.

These symptoms seem to indicate I need more cortisol (my average temps. are

steady), but thatt doesn't make sense to me. Why would I need more after

raising?

Is it possible that by raising if I didn't need it, I made my adrenals worse

and now they're not putting out what they were before on their own??

Raising Florinef should not uncrease your need for HC. They work in

tandem not against each other. I would give the raise more time for your

body to adjust to it, Florinef changes the fluid balance in your body

and the chages can feel very unsettling until they are done.

No, I meant after raising HC the last time, from 22.5 to 25. Florinef actually

helped me feel better....

Are you rasinginthyroid too? More thyroid can cause you to need mroe cortiosl to

handle it, but you will reach a point eventually where you will stop needing

more and then you will start feeling much better too!

No, I was actually lower on thyroid than I was during the summer. My Dr. had me

lower it because I was going so far over the range.....

I thought I had reached that point at 22.5 but then raised because of the

reasons I mentioned. I was feeling really good then....about 100x better than

now. A couple of weeks ago I tried going back down but didn't notice much

difference, and then got sick right after.
