Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Polly your doc is confused (what's new?) he is confusing high dose synthetic steroids that have many side effects, with low dose bioidentical cortisol. tell him to read Safe Uses of Cortisol by McK Jefferies MD. and don't worry. are you taking 5mg 4X a day? (seems to work best) Gracia I just went to my eye doctor for my yearly exam. They always ask if you are one any new meds. I said HC 20 mg daily. The doc said that can cause some trouble with eyes, cataracts...glaucoma. He asked how long I was going to be on it. I said I didn't think it was permanent, but I would check with my doc when I see him in a few months. After he checked my eyes, he said no change so far, but he will continue to monitor it. Any one else ever hear of this " side effect " from HC? Polly ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks Gracia, I am taking 10 with breakfast, 10 with lunch and 5 at dinner. I can't do 5 in evening or bedtime, it keeps me awake. If I forget the 5 at dinner, I just skip it for that day. My pills are 20 mg, and it is hard enough cutting it into the 1/4 to get 5, I would try 2.5 at bedtime, but like I said, too small to cut that one.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 read Safe Uses of Cortisol by Jefferies MD or find a Broda doc http://www.brodabarnes.org to learn how to use bioidentical cortisol safely and effectively. Mayo Clinic is referring to high dose steroids that are not bioidentical. it's really OK for patients to be empowered and educated! that way we can change this very expensive disease management system so that " the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks " . remember your body is supposed to make " steroids " --it is not a dirty word--it has been misued by the drug industry for profit. many ppl will never get their health back until they use low dose cortisol to support adrenals. I am proof of that. Gracia Polly the Mayo Clinic info begins like this : " Corticosteroid medications, including cortisone, hydrocortisone and prednisone, have great potential in the treatment of a variety of conditions, from rashes to lupus to asthma. But corticosteroids also carry a risk of side effects. Working with your doctor, you can take steps to reduce these medications' side effects so that the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks. " Hydrocortisone is a " steroid " .

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 After getting an AM/PM cortisol test (both normal, very lab range) and a 4 sample saliva cortisol test (which showed low for all 4 time periods during the day), I decided to try taking cortisol roughly every 4 hours ramping up to about 40 mg. One definite side effect: After exercising, my heart rate recovery time went from 8+ hours (less if I took some beta blockers to slow it down which took at least 2 hours) to less than 30 minutes, often less than 15 minutes. I had discussed my problems with heart rate recover rate after exercise with my cardio and got no feedback and no recommendations. Now it appears that one needs " enough " cortisol when exercising. This discovery is not something I should have discovered by " accident " as all the necessary clues were available to my doctors. Second side effect: Several mornings a week I would wake up with a pounding heart rate - higher than normal pulse pressure and faster bpm. Taking cortisol right before bed eliminated this problem. When cortisol drops too low, the body utilizes adrenalin to compensate, resulting in the " pounding " heart rate when cortisol drops too low early in the morning. Look up adrenal fatigue.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 For some of us folks with Adrenal Insufficeincy or 's Disease we need hydrocortisol to stay alive. It's not a matter of side effects, it's a matter of life and death. I would imagine that if you didn't have a deficiency of cortisol and took 20-40 mg of HC daily, you would get sick in a very short time. Marla > > Hi, Steve.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Did my own research. Ordered my own lab work and my own medications. One can check their blood glucose in addition to being aware of symptoms with respect to taking too much cortisol. So far, I'm way under the dosing that is often prescribed. One of the foremost doctors in the world on this located in Europe, has a prescribing chart on the internet. I do have a doctor that may work with me since they have a brochure on thyroid related issues, 's syndrome, and adrenal fatigue displayed in their lobby. However, I've yet to see him since he's no longer on my insurance so only labs and prescriptions he writes are covered. I do intend to begin getting treated for this by a doctor but only after I solve my " adrenal fatigue " issue, which takes months to a year or so, and transition the thyroid meds I'm taking from T3 to Armour and get stabilized on my ideal dose.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 I like the name " non-'s hypoadrenalism " although " subclinical hypoadrenalism " can work since " adrenal fatigue " trigger's only bad " thinking " in most doctors. I think it is very common the more western one's diet and lifestyle is. The stresses of our age are constant, not intermittent like in a hunter gather society, and average cortisol needed and available for daily life has gone down by a sigificent amount since it usually is elevated for a long time before the adrenals " fatigue " , perhaps to half that needed but it still measures according to lab work as " normal " . Blood serum lab ranges have a very wide range of " normal " to make up for the fact that cortisol has a diurnal rhythm peaking in the morning and dropping all day and night until the next morning. A higher range in the morning is added to a lower range in the afternoon and the low of the afternoon becomes the lab's low range for the day and a high of the morning becomes the lab's high range for the whole day. Many people who are low in the morning but who's low morning numbers would be OK for the afternoon and shown be " normal " in the morning in spite of their low numbers as a result of the lab's very wide " normal " range to accommodate the afternoon low in all testing, morning or afternoon. Others who are currently under a lot stress and producing too much cortisol all the time and haven't entered " adrenal fatigue " who test in the afternoon will be considered " normal " even though their levels are above normal for afternoon only " normal " ranges. The time when blood is drawn for a cortisol test should be recored and the lab reference range should reflect that time accurately, not all possible times for the day. Normal ranges even without the slight-of-hand adjustments used for diurnal rhythm testing have cut off points that doctors interpreted ad very bad just on the outside of the low or high ranges but perfectly normal and best ignored if just on the inside of the high and low ranges. Those ranges generally (cholesterol and a few others excepted for reasons of profit) are generally selected by taking the mean of the population sample, going out two standard deviations plus or minus to select the " L " and the " H " . This population sample is considered a " normal " sample, a sample which may be full of unhealthy blood levels like vitamin D (lab references ranges for D are way to low because most Americans are deficient so the sample population is effectively " sick " .) The 4 standard deviations represents 95% of the population sample. If one is in the 96th percentile on either side of the L or H, they are considered treatable with respect to low or high cortisol. In other words, EXACTLY 2.5% of the populations has low cortisol according to the lab reference range definition. If one is in the 94th percentile, their symptoms and complaints of low or high cortisol are referred to doctors that prescribe anti-depressants because their lab tests are " normal " . This general propensity to prescribe anti-depressants seems to be true of all irregular hormone levels, testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, etc. and especially thyroid.

I find that people who end up in thyroid related groups that have their cortiol levels checked for the most part have either low cortisol and in many fewer cases have high cortisol. Rarely does this group show up in these groups looking for help find they are " normal " . It's obviously that doctors are missing the boat on this one or these people wouldn't be still looking for solutions to problems then feel, experiences, and their doctors say doesn't exist. It is also true that these people, desperate to some degree to solve their problems, are easily led in all kinds of directions both good and bad and they usually don't have the experiences, at least initially, to select mostly from the good and ignore the bad. It would be better if doctors would do more than assemble line medicine and " think " outside the narrow minded structure of medical for profit orthodoxy.

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Nothing in my post remotely suggested any differences between the sexes in susceptibility to adrenal fatigue. Where do you come up with that crap? If such a difference exists I am unaware of it. Further, nothing in any of my posts have ever suggested women are " overly emotional " . It does IMHO happen to be a characteristic of our culture that we males are taught to be less expressive of our emotions; but that doesn't mean we don't have them. When we lose a pet I think I cry more than my wife does. Further, our culture encourages and discourages males and females in different fields; but that has nothing to do with inherent characteristics or abilities of either sex. I find it a bit discouraging that you think I could be that d@mned dumb. What information I have WRT adrenal fatigue suggests it is probably less common than some alternative sites claim. And AFAIK that is for both males and females; not difference that I know of. .. .. > > Posted by: " Gracia " circe@... > <mailto:circe@...?Subject=%20Re%3A%20Question%20about%20HC> > graciabee <graciabee> > > > Fri Jan 23, 2009 8:31 pm (PST) > > > OMG give me a break. maybe women are just being overemotional but a > guy can be legitimately hypoadrenal? > Gracia > > Hi, Steve.
