Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Val, I reduced the HC back to 25mg a week or more ago. My temps were doing good at a avg of 98.3-98.5. Yesterday I raised my thyroid by 1/2gr. Today my temps have really dropped. Does this mean that I need more HC? Gale Quote
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I would give the thyruid increase at least 3 days for your body to adjust to it before raising HC, but if oyur tmep doesn;t bounce back after 3 days, yes, more HC. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Gale, my regular pattern after raising Armour for several raises was that my temps would drop the day after and then spike for a day or so and then settle down, assuming that I was on enough HC which has always been a bit of a ? for me. 1/2 grain is a big increase (at least for me) but my advice would be to see if you can hold it for another day or two to see if the temps average out. > > Val, > > I reduced the HC back to 25mg a week or more ago.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks for that . My temp has continued to drop throughout the day. I will give it another couple of days. My temps were very stable, I hope that I can manage to not have to raise the HC. As far as the 1/2 gr increase. For you, on a low dose that would be a 25% increase if you are on say 2gr. For me at 7gr it is a much smaller increase, something like 7-8% of my actual dose. I have never had a thyroid dump while on Armour, my body just does not use the Armour at all. Anytime that I increase my dosage the first morning my BP goes down to normal from the high BP that I have been experiencing for months now. By the afternoon of the day of my increase is as if my body has forgotten that it is getting a better amount of thyroid hormone & returns to hypo state.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Thanks Val, I will wait it out. It sure was strange to see the temps drop like that. I now know that I should have been tracking my temps a year & 1/2 ago. Why am I so hard headed???
