Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I am not sur eof the mechanisms involved btu ther ARE times when low aldosteorne can caus high BP and Florinef may help bring it down. I assume it si the adaptation of losing potassium that raises BP when you are low in sodium/aldosterone. This si why you would ned to rais potassium before even satrting Florinef. The potassium allows sodium to go into the cells and thus lowers sodium in the BLOOD. It is sodoium in the blood thta maintinas BP not so much the cellular sodium. When you take potasium it lowers the blood sodium and you need aldosterone to maintina those levels so it doesnlt quickly fall too low. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 DO you take progesterone? DHEA? Estrogen? Gues what? All steroids. Yes Florinef is another steroid but it is a mineralcorticoid not a glucocorticoid. They work differntly and you need both. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I don't take Progesterone. I am unable to tolerate it. Probably due to it being high. I am not on Estrogen as of yet, but I do take Testosterone cream. That one I only stopped for a day; when I filled the saliva tubes. Do you have to stop that longer?
