Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yes, I have had that, in varying degrees of intensity, almost every day, ever since I started taking Isocort three months ago, and it has continued since switching to HC. I had never had it before - at least not that I noticed. My cortisol tested low and I went off of my Synthroid during that same time frame and I have had a hard time increasing Armour to where I probably need for it to be so I still don't know what is causing it - high cortisol or low thyroid. I know that I'm still quite hypoT so I'm hoping that that is it and it will resolve once I get on a more therapeutic dose of Armour. It also got noticeably worse one time when I tried to increase my sea salt from 1/4tsp to 1/2tsp at a time, and it got much worse when we drove out of the mountains during Thanksgiving weekend, but resolved back to " normal " pretty quickly when we leveled off. > > >>does anyone have stiff hands that when they make a fist, there is resistance and it feels > strange?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Can't muscle stiffness also be connected to calcium deficiency? Which, hypoT and adrenal fatigued patients also have problems with. I thought I heard that somewhere. I get stiff hands in the mornings when I first get up, but then it subsides as I get moving. Heck, my whole body is stiff when I wake up. > > >>does anyone have stiff hands that when they make a fist, there is > resistance and it feels > > strange?
