Jamy,

I've been on delta for 3 months, before that I was on on cortef for 9 months.

The delta is 2.5mg tabs so I can wean off by taking 2.5 instead of 5mg, then

perhaps 2.5 every other day for awhile

Re: test results - opinions please

how long have you been on it

[Guest guest]

It would take you months of not being off to get a clean level. More

importantly, stay on what you are since weaning is a slow and painful process

and test both the saliva as well as a urine 24 hour burden. The saliva shows

supposedly unbound or available cortisol The 24 urine should show all

what inflammation do you think could be causing it to rise> What levels of

ferritin do you feel would be best? I am going by my Dr who is one of the few

that have been running long term studies on Ferritin and Hashi's. He said to

never let it run over 100.and never below 70.

The ferritin isn't high and as usual with ferritin has to be considered

in light of any autoimmune conditions [eg hashimotos] as its an acute

phase reactant. and rises in response to inflammation.

Lynda did you have a full blood count done with full red call indices -

MCV, PCV, MCHC etc have you had recent thyroid antibodies done?

Alison,

no I didn't have the full blood count, can't afford everything at once so I

thought the frees were more important. I did have the 2 antibody tests done

and both were negative

Cindi,

that's why I started on adrenal support, I couldn't raise my armour. Another

reason is that I was having an adrenal dump in the middle of the night and lying

awake for hours. The theory is that if you support the adrenals during the day

that won't happen. It definitely has helped, now if I wake up it is because

I'm too hot but I do go back to sleep.

Re: test results - opinions please

I did too...i was SURE I had adrenal fatigue because after all..I'd been

untreated for 15 years. But the truth is...I think my adrenals improved just

from

the Armour. And I actually think the best way to know if you need adrenal

support is whether or not you can up your Armour without any problems.
