Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I wondering if just low BP alone is an indicator that one needs to be on more HC. I went to doctor today for a nasty sinus infection and my BP was 90/55. I have been stress dosing for the last week or so. Before getting sick I was taking 22.5 mg HC/day. During the last week I've been taking around 27-30mg/day. He put me on antibiotics, so hopefully I'll be turning the corner soon. I don't have recent daily average temps, as I don't think they'd be very reliable given how sick I've been. Thanks, Kirsten Quote
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 First 10MG a day os not enough of a stress dose for illness. I just had a sick day yesterday and took 30MG extra and today I am almost well. That is when ti si effective, when you get well immediately. And today I went right back to my isial 25mg dosing and was fine with it. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I am on day 10, so it's too late now, unfortunately. Should I wean back down to my original HC dose (22.5 mg) or continue to take a higher dose (25-30mg or more)until I am fully recovered? Thanks, Val!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 I would take at least 30MG unitl you are recovered. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 Val, I've been sick this past week, too. I increased my HC, but not 30 mg extra. And, I'm still sick after 5 days. So basically, we should double the amount for a day, get better and go back to our original dose? Cindy B God Bless America!

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Posted February 18, 2008 If you catch an illness RIGHT when it si starting, you can sometimes take a 20MG stress dose and knowck it right back out. If you wiat till the next day somewtimes a larger stress dose will kick it, sometimes not. I try to nto ever stress dose over about 5 days with a high dose, but once I was on 60MG for 2 weeks and wow did I ever get BIG BELLY! but I finally got over the bug and got my dfose back down in about a month. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote
