Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 Sorry, did not know how to go find my post and edit it, so am adding a new one to follow it. I wanted to ask about the thyroid med. You all seem to be saying that you do not take it while getting the adrenals up to speed. Then you begin to add it in...where? how? Please explain. And thanks again. jaydee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 The Cortef isn't making you fat, it's the hypothyroid most likely. But it could be low aldosterone. You should be taking your temps at 3 hours after you get up, then 6 hours after you get up, then 9 hours after you get up. At the end of the day, add those 3 temps and divide by 3 to get your daily average. Plot that temperature on a graph. Next day, do the same thing. After a week of plotting temps, step back and look at them. IF you have good adrenal support, then the average temps should not be varying by more than 0.2 degrees F from one day to the next. If they vary more, you need more Cortef. Yes, we say to not start on Armour (thyroid support) until your adrenals have good support (your temps don't vary by more than 0.2 degrees) because ramping up on thyroid meds can put a strain on your adrenals at first, since they are already weak. So it is better to support adrenals first, then thyroid. I understand about Almighty God, but the HC is bioidentical to what your adrenals should be making - this is NOT some foreign substance. We are replacing what has disappeared through environmental, physical and emotional stress. At the doses we take Cortef, there are no side effects. What is happening is that as your adrenals get better and better supported, the hypothyroid symptoms appear more and more. But you will treat those too, eventually, again, with a bioidentical substance. You didn't get ill overnight, and you can't expect to get well in an instance. For most all of us this process takes months or years. Patience and faith. hope that helps. - Janet > Sorry, did not know how to go find my post and edit it, so am adding a > new one to follow it.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hi Val and all I have a problem with centigrade scales. My thermometer is in celcius and it is very difficult to detect .02 degrees differance. Anyone has this problem? bw Nil ----- You add it in when your temps are stable, which means the average of three times a day is not fluctuating more than .02 degrees from one day to the next. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks Val The problem is that it is hard to detect temp differance which corresponds to 0.2 degrees f with celsius thermometer. for example 36.2 celsius makes 97.16 Fahrenheit 36.3 C 97.34 F 36.4 C 97.52 F smallest increment we can detect with Celsius thermometer is only 0.1 degrees Celsius and it is hard to detect the temperature differance which corresponds to 0.2 degrees F. I guess we should than use 0.1 degrees differance value for Celsius. bw and thanks.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 What I would do is convert to F for the graph, that would be easiest to see what is going on. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 ..11 degree difference in Celsius is the same as .2 degree difference in Fahrenheit, so if you can read .1 then you should be fine.
