I found that my hypoglycemia has almost disappeared from taking

cortisol. I haven't had much luck yet in getting off the extra

weight that I gained over the summer when my thyroid whacked out but

at least I've quit gaining.

I don't eat sugar so I didn't have that problem, but I just started

putting weight on no matter what I ate. I have a very good diet to

begin with, so when that happened I knew something was up with my

thyroid again. I've been really pleased at losing the hypoglycemia

symptoms. I've had those basically all my life or at least since I

was about 10. Lots of times now, I miss eating a snack in between

breakfast and lunch or lunch and dinner and I don't even notice it,

no symptoms at all. That's very unusual. Are you doing the sea salt

and Vit C also?

How much Armour are you on Linn? What made you decide what dose to take?

I'm taking 2 grains right now. When I first started a little over a

year ago I had trouble taking 90 mgs and had to back down to 1 grain

a couple of times, then went off completely for about 4 months. Just

started back in July and am up to 2 grains at this point. Just

working with my doc as to the dose.

Thanks. I am only at 1 and a half grains. My temps are not particularly

low during the day but get low in the morning. I cannot lose the weight and

get terrible sugar cravings in the afternoon.

Does anyone know precisely is the process, physiologically, of carb

cravings? Or chocolate cravings which is probably a different thing going on?

I am trying to figure out ways of heading off at the pass the cravings when

But then the cravings just seem to come out of the blue.....

Any ideas folks?

I also quit using any of the artificial sweeteners and only use

Stevia now. I've read that Nutrasweet, etc. can actually make you

crave more sweets. I'm still working on losing the weight also, but

I am feeling tremendously better than I was 3 months ago, so I'm

hoping that it will all fall in line as my body recovers. I also

have not had enough time to get back to my usual exercise routine

yet, have been a little haphazard with that, so I'm sure that's not

helping either.

Carb cravings could be adrenals craving sugar for energy, or could be

candida. Chocolate cravings could be sugar for adrenals or candida, or

magnesium deficiency.

Linn:

I never used artificial sweeteners. When I taught colleg chem 10 years ago,

I had my class do research papers on the dangers of aspartame!

I get the sugar craving terribly at around 3:00 and start in on chocolate.

I quit buying ice cream and now buy frozen yogart. The halloween candy I

bought for giving out, is almost gone from me eating it when I get home from

work. today I tried taking half a grain when that happens. Will see how it

goes.

I wouldn't increase that much at one time, it would probably cause

loose bowels. It's like Vitamin C, you build up to a bowel

tolerance. I also have MVP and it's good for that.

To balance out the high calcium in our diets, also hypo's are generally mag.

deficient due to absorption, I think. Our soils are deficient in magnesium,

and there's more b ut I need to go to bed, as I'm swigging a mag. drink now,

as I'm having the WORST fibro muscle pain in my back I can't even take a

normal breath. I'll try to get the rest of the info. in the morning....

I forgot my dinnertime Cortef today, I wonder if that's why my entire body

is seizing up right now....

Could be . I get all sorts of stuff going on if I miss a dose

a

dose.
