Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 >>How do you deal with raising Armour thyroid? I'm currently on 1/8 grain only (been for about two weeks)...get quite uncomfortable symptoms from taking Armour in the beginning. Temp averages should be ok. How often is fine to titrate Armour when have severe adrenal fatigue (in HC treatment though)? What if 35mg (my current dose) or 40mg HC isn't enough? << I knwo ONE man that Dr Peatfield has on 60MG HC. Men need mroe cortisol than women, so what ever it takes to get temps stable and make the Bp rise form sitting to standing should be also enough for you to tolerate thyroid increases. -- 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...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thank you Val!! It is good to know that it can be up to that much. As long as have no blood sugar issues then should be ok? Also, could this be a sign that need more HC: whenever I stress-dose (even 2,5mg) I feel crappy the next day and even the day after that. > I knwo ONE man that Dr Peatfield has on 60MG HC.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Dear Val thanks again! I really appreciate all u do u know, just wanted to say that. Send u a *HUG* okay. So, how should I proceed? I'm on 1/8G Armour thyroid. And 10MG - 10MG - 7,5MG - 5MG - 2,5MG of HC. How should I optimize my cortisone from this? My temps are getting near optimum but not yet 100% good, Armour raise messes them. I will raise HC tomorrow just thinking from which dose is best to raise. > > >>Also, could this be a sign that need more HC: > whenever I stress-dose (even 2,5mg) I feel crappy the next day and > even the day after that. << > > Yes cause your body misses even that tiny stress dose the next day.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 10MG - 10MG - 7,5MG - 5MG - 2,5MG of HC From here I would raise the bedtime dose especially if you are having trouble staying asleep past 4AM. If you are NOT havign trouble sleeping, I would go to 12.5 - 10 - 7.5 - 5 - 2.5 -- 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...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thanks! I will try 5MG evening dosing. But I take my last dose at 8:30PM, is that ok or should it be more like when I go to sleep (at 10-11pm)? I do have sleeping problems more or less. Often problems falling asleep. > > 10MG - 10MG - 7,5MG - 5MG - 2,5MG of HC > > From here I would raise the bedtime dose especially if you are having trouble staying asleep past 4AM.

If that doesn;t help increase it to 5MG -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
