Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 just to thank val in particular for all her help at the beginning and all my questions. I confirm that inhouse pharmacy is slow, it took 3.5 weeks to switzerland. Don't know if it's in my head but I feel better and stronger. I dose my 20mgs of HC better and take my adrenal supplements with it. I felt as if it was extra cortisol . My only doubt at the mo is : what reactions might I have to need to increase my hc? I slept a little better and I am less constipated. I even feel cheerful, I usually have a dour face and always have had one. I am probably going to start up some sort of Italian forum to help people here. with the help of Suzanne from the Internationl Hormone. I want to wait and see a more definite improvement first though. berny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 HI berny I am sure that somebody will come to answer your questions about using a higher dose and explaining what symptoms might show to tell you that you need to increase your dose. I am so pleased you are beginning to feel so much benefit already and hope you will continue in this way. It would be wonderful to start a new forum in Switzerland to help people over there once you feel better, and I'm sure that will happen. ne will be a great help to you, she is a good friend of mine, and we have worked together in the past. If you need any tips, I will also be happy to help you. Have you started on thyroid hormone replacement yet?

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi berny, 20mg is the norm, and you will probably find that this is right for you. At the moment I take 7.5mg first thing, 2.5mg at bedtime (enough to help me sleep but not enough to make me have to get up to pee during the night), and during the day I take isocort: 2 at 12, 2 at 4, and 1 at 7pm - if you believe the 2.5mg hc in each isocort this makes 12.5mg to add to the 10mg actual cortef, but some people say that isocort is weaker than they say - personally if I am having a tough time I revert back to cortef for a few days. If I am having a golf game occasionally I up this to another 2.5mg to help me through it, perhaps also another 1/4 grain of armour if my legs start to get tired and I am in a golf competition & want to keep my energy up (particularly in an evening game). I know if I need extra because I start to get little tremors / anxious feelings, but the best way of knowing your adrenal requirement is by having not stable temperatures. Your constipation is more a low thyroid thing than adrenal, so this should sort itself out eventually. Val My only doubt at the mo is : whatreactions might I have to need to increase my hc?
