Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I had another episode last night, so I'm just that much more convinced I have low adrenal.. I'm calling my doc. in a min. to see what he has to say, if he can change the test to 24 hr urine, cause the lab can't do the stim. test , so stressful, that's why I had the episode last night.. stresssssssssssssss, so I'll it give it just a little longer.. but not much , I just can't handle too much more.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Gracia, I would be able to take something 2 times a day and maybe like said the way it makes me feel might motivate me... thanks Bev > >> > >> > >> http://www.mastersmarketing.com > >> hydrocortone (cortef) > >> I buy 10mg tabs and they are scored so I break them, take 5mg 4X a > > day @8a, > >> 11, 2p, 5.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 yes, that is pretty much .. when there are other tests, like 24 hour urine, I just got off the phone w/ my doc. office, he is supposed to call back soon to let me know what we can do next , since the atch stresses me out so much ,the whole things stresses me out so much. wish me luck,, cause I know I will need it Bev > OMG > I have never heard of anybody not passing the test.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I have to set my alarm just to take one dose of armour.. I take 90 mgs.,so maybe that's the reason I don't have to take it several times a day, I can't feel a difference that soon. It takes at least one week to feel any difference at all for me. I've always wondered why you take it that often and how you can feel a difference that soon.. I would really like to know that.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hi Bev, I have a little timer that is specially for taking medicines - I got it online from ssyndrome.com - but I think you can get them in stores too - it was cheap. I can set many alarms for different times of the day and once I have set them they stay on that setting - I don't have to re-do them each day - it is a fantastic help - it can sound an alarm or jut vibrate in your pocket or bag if you need to be quiet.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ok, I'm sold on this idea... Thanks so much for letting me know about this... I had never heard of it.. That makes a difference.. I think I'm just about ready to start self medicating... Where do you get the meds. and how much are they?
