To cream or not to cream

[Guest guest]

Yesterday I used HC cream instead of tablets due to being on 40 mg

hc for a while and blood pressure dropping on standing. So we

thought I could not be getting any hc from the tablets.

Yesterday was very poorly all day, felt nausea, migraine, severe

neck pain, spent most of it in bed.

Took 8pm dose as a tablet after getting advice from val and started

to feel better, by 10pm was fine, just normal neck pain.

So I quess I absorb tablets better than cream?

Should I stay on the tablets and forget the cream?

I am thinking of just forgetting everything and staying on 40mg

cortef for two weeks and seeing if I can stabalise my temps and bp.

Is this likely? They have never stabalised in over 2 years of

various thyroid, adrenal supplements and hc?

I have been of all t3 for 10 days.

Thanks again

I would only switchonver ONE dose of the cream (from tablets) at a tie

this way oyu can adjust the sdose as you go.You can get symptoms of LOW

cortisol if oyu use too much as it will overly supress the ACTH and make

your adrneals make less of their own.

But i tried it because you said i can't be absorbing it from tablets but as i

used cream and ended up on my knees i must be absorbing it from tablets and

didn't from the cream. so i realise one day is a short test but it proved i am

getting it from the tablets so why bother?

I am not trying to disagree Val. I am at my wits end and have treid so many

things my temps are still more than 1/2 a degree difference every day and my

blood pressure is still falling on standing. I am in severe pain due to no t3

and I just do not know what to do next.

Thanks

There is NO WAY you cannot absorb it from the cream! That is why I

suspect it was simply a shock to your system and ossibly alot MORE than

your body is used to getting which WOULD cause the LOW symtpoms the rest

of the day as more shuts down more ACTH and then you do nto have the

added cortisol from your own adrenals.

Ok I think I understand but the reaction was very quick after I used the cream

and I only felt better when I started back on the tablets. Does that make sense?

If so I will try tonights last dose 5mg with cream and just pray i will be

getting somewhere.

Thanks

I stopped the cream after a too-short trial of only two days, but I

couldn't stand the speed during the day and the feeling at night - the

closest thing that I can relate it to, and it was very close to this

for those of you who know, was tripping and then coming down from an

LSD or amphetamine high although only the speed part, no

hallucinations. Today, back on the tabs, I feel much more in control,

had some energy, but not flipping from one thing to another

frenetically, and my temps aren't flipping around like they were. I

don't know whether I was absorbing the HC better, or not as well, or

that I was absorbing it better which in turn helped the thyroid

hormone get into the cells, but it sure didn't feel healthy and I feel

more in control today although I still woke up at 5:30AM and couldn't

get back to sleep which makes for three nights in a row of 5-6 hours

which isn't good for me. I might try again with the cream when I get

my scale so that I can make the measurements more precise.
