Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Hello Valarie: Thought I was doing a little better on working up to 8 pellets Isocort, then woke at 4:00 AM today very nervous - ready to go ballistic. I had to take a sedative to calm down and go back to sleep. I'm trying to figure out what I did differently. I did take 200 mg Phosphatidylserene before bed thinking it would lower cortisol enough that I would quit waking at 4:00, or 5:00 or 6:00. Also celebratedPastor's birthday at church last night with cake and ice cream. I've never known that to bother me, and am not aware of any sugar problems, never really have any cravings and pretty much stay away from sweets. Maybe I should post labs, as I thoughtmaybe cortisol went too low last night. Morning l7.2H 3.7-9.5 Noon l.7 l.2-3.0 evening l.6-0.6-l.9 night 0.5 0.4-l.0 Cortisol saliva Thank you so very much, Pat Re: Blood Pressure >>Tonight blood pressure is l58/98 forno reason. I raised Isocort yesterday from 6pelletsto 7. Guess I'll hold off on bedtime dose tonight. Can you recommend any remedy.I haven't been on thyroid for a month or more.<< Can you post your cortisol testing again? What all do you take, including supplements? -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 TWO biggies. You are lowering night time cortisol too much which causes no only low cortiosl tat 4AM but then you did the biggie and ate sugar in the PM. Further cause for nypoglycemia at 4AM between the two you were guaranteed to have adrenaline rush at 4AM. Stop the PS and possibly take some Isocort at bedtime if you have it, and NO high carb foods after about 5PM. Also eationg protein at bedtime helps. -- 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...
