Guest guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 10 Isocorts, and have the shakes on Armour. ______________________ Wow, I apologize for my answer. I agree with Janie. 10 IsoCorts is 25 mg of cortisol and that is a lot. I think backing down on the Armour is the best suggestion. When I got my thyroid dose up over 4 grains, no amount of cortisol got rid of the shakes and feeling of not being right. I think if 25 mg of cortisol is not helping then maybe thyroid is too high.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 So, I need to treat my adrenals for a couple weeks before beginning thyroid meds. How do I treat me adrenals? Thanks in advance!! Diona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 You can treat the adrenals just one week ahead of starting thyroid. Take 1 to 2 IsoCort tablets every 4 hours starting when you get up in the morning. Or 1/2 to 3/4 roughly of Nutri+Meds adrenal every 4 hours. You can also look for an adrenal extract at your local health store, but, then the dose will not be known. Typical adrenal support is 10 to 20 mg total cortiosne a day taken in 4 equal doses. This can also be prescription Prednisone (5-7 mg a day), prescription Cortef (10 to 20 mg a day) or some other synthetic. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Oh, and I forgot. You can take 1 teaspoon of licorice root in a tea 4 times a day 4 hours apart. Make sure it is not deglycerrized. This is roughly equal to 15 to 20 mg of cortisone. Tish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
