Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have been slowly increasing my IsoCort dose over the past six weeks up to 6 per day. About three weeks ago, I started having mid-day headaches (around noon) at which time I was taking seven a day. I cut back to six thinking that taking three in the morning was the trigger, but am still having the headaches? I take two when I wake, two more four hours later, one more four hours after that and one at bedtime. Most of my hyper symtoms (and hypo symptoms) have gone away but this new one is really bothering me. Any suggestions would be great.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have been in the process of increasing my Armour dose and unfortunately, my doc only wants to do labs every 8 weeks! She doesn't believe in increasing my dosage until then. I am due for a blood test in a week so probably won't have the results for another two weeks. With the holidays, I was hoping to find a solution before hand. For a little history, I took 1.5 grains for one year and then all of a sudden my TSH sky rocketed to 27 so when I tried taking more Armour (2.0 grains), I got the shakes, hot flashes, etc. so my doc insisted on Synthroid. I didn't feel as well on Synthroid so I am back with the Armour again and using IsoCort (per my Naturopath). I am taking 2.25 grains and just starting to feel " hypo " again: dry skin, tired, sinus headaches. For the most part, I am doing much better. Possibly I will end up increasing my Armour once again?

It does seem odd that I am all of a sudden having these headaches now that I am taking IsoCort. They feel somewhat like a sinus headache but they are just very light and dull. I am looking forward to getting my blood work done to see where the rest of my hormones are. I have learned so much in the past two months through these patient-to-patient sites...I am very thankful! I will ask my doctor about HC if my thyroid levels are good. WIsh me luck! Merry Christmas! Debbie > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
