Re: I'm in bits For Val ..just out of hospital last night

[Guest guest]

My endo brought me into hospital last wed week to 'look at my

stomack' had the camera down my throat and pelvic/tummy scan. He did

this due to me having nausea on and off since he's been playing with

my deltacortril/armour/eltroxin dosage. I wish I had the stamina to

write more about my experience of the last week..he took me off the

steroid completely, left me on 60 armor, 30 am and pm and of course I

went into tremors on the second day. So gave me 5mg hydroC at 11am

2.5 at 4pm and 25 mcg eltroxin (t4) am and pm. within a day I had no

interest in eating and totally bedridden..got him to up HC by another

2.5 next day but still in bed most of day. Originally I was on 5mg

prednisolone in the am going into hosp. His goal was to wean me off

steroid. meantime my thyroid is not stable..t3 and t4 under rrange.

He came to visit me on Wed nite..I was in tremors and armed with

photocopies of Dr Peatfields chapters on adrenal connection, hypo

treatment and the one " to doctors' after some negociation he agreed

to put me back on 2.5 delta in the am 5mg hydro at 11am 2.5 hydro at

3pm and 2.5mg at 6pm and take 30mg armour am and pm. I told him I'd

had a conversation with Dr P and he had advised me to increase

deltacortril to 7.5mg or 30 mg HC. My endo reluctantly said add in

2.5 delta over xmas if i need to My question is am i better to use hc

or delta/prednis or is it ok to mix both? and should I just take 30mg

armour for a few days till i build my adrenal support up? Yesterday

when i did the new approach my temp went up to 99f and i felt weak n

sick, this was at noon before i had taken any armour..i also have not

slept much 4 the previous 3-4 nites tho absolutely shattered. My

blood cortisol levels are high in the am and then start to plummet at

noon (he took bloods every 2 hours 3 weeks ago to check cortisol)

My average temp has been 96f for the last 5 days.

I hope this isn't too mixed up, I'm really not feeling able to do any

better..I've put a call into Dr P but got his machine..by the way

endo also found EBV in blood work and vit D deficiency so I'm on

calcium/D supplement now. Aldosterone/renin/parathyroid tests done on

Monday but no results till the new year..

Please advise what you thin Val, thanks ever so much for being there.

Listen to Dr Peatfield.i would trust this man. I would stop the thyroid

for now until you get the cortisl levleed off. In this situation ti

really doesn;t matter which you take but it does matter that you take

ENOUGH. you high temp when you took the pred tells me you have just

been piling th thyroid up un your blood for several daysand it wil all

dump in ther whne you get enough cortiosl. OBVIOUSLY you are in seriuous

adrenal troblein spite of your blood labs,. Ask your doctor to research

cortisol resistance, it is said ot only happen to 2% of the population

but you maybe one of them where your cortisol receptors are not working

correctly and you need higher cortilsl than other peole do. Once out odf

hospital I would ditch this dco and se Peatfield if oyu can.

Doc on holiday for christmas as of today. So I am alone on this. I

put a call in to Peatfield this morning but got his ans mach which

said he is in mid move and for emergencies leave a message and he

will get back within a day. I just hope he does.

How will I know when the cortisol has levelled off? ie how do I know

when to take Armour again and should it be just 30mg? My temp at 9am

was 95.9 and then at 12.50 it was 97.8 does this mean anything to

you? Am I in any danger when I'm in tremors, my pulse is 85?

Unfortunately my local hospital isn't much solace as I've been there

already for a week and into ER for an evening 10 days ago, they

basically don't know what to do with me so I'm very worried about

having nowhere to go with this over the next 2 weeks unless Dr P gets

back to me.

You know the way HC is short acting well is prednisolone not a better

option as it works all day?? This is very confusing to me.

My partner and I are just distraught. Thanks for being there.

Take your temps three times a day average the temps per www.drrind.com

adn compare the daily averages for 3-4 days in a row. When the temps are

level to less than 2 tenths of a degree form one day to the next you ar

ready to start thyroid. Then only start 15MG daily.
