Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 A thyroid dump can ottally drain any cortisl reserves oyu have, which is another reason we try to avoid them. I bet this is what happened. I would stress dose for a couple more days then try to get back to old dosing. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Okay, I understand that the thyroid dump depleted any cortisol reserves I had. Could this change also have caused low cortisol: on 1/2/08 I started taking the cynomel 3 times a day instead of the usual 5 times, therefore I started taking larger amounts for the 3 doses: 25 mg. am, 12.5 lunch, 25 mg. bedtime, the 5 doses had broken up:25-12.5-12.5-6.25- 6.25. I think is might also have contributed to the cortisol drain and am thinking of going back to the 5 dose schedule. What do you think? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Definitely more smaller doses is easier on the adrenals. Tat is why I stick to 4-5 doses a day. -- 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 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Val, so even though i might be on 30 mg per day once a day,would you split that up ? i was thinking of getting 15mgtabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Val,can a thyroid dump just be a rise in temp that isnt what normally happens ? rather than the symptoms just mentioned...and ifso would it drain the adrenals ?

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 The weaker your adreanls are the more you need to splitup thyroid dses. I think 30MG tabs are fine and if you have troubel wiht them htne break in half. -- 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 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It could be a rise but usually would be a sharp rise. It is alot of thyroid getting to the cells all at once, so it usually will have adrenal stress symptims with it. -- 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 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I had my monster thyroid dump stress-dosing with cream - I think that it really worked and it really let the thyroid into my cells. I felt like s!@# the next day, but I only slept for like 4 hours and then had to fly to visit my family for the holidays. I stress-dosed that day too, but not as much as the day before and not with cream - just adding to each of my first three doses and nothing to my night-time dose. Basically what Val is saying. Sorry you had to go through that - it is scary. > > A thyroid dump can ottally drain any cortisl reserves oyu have, which is > another reason we try to avoid them. I bet this is what happened.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Val. you were saying that amout can much up cortisol levels if not done in a 4 hour cycle...or was it something else like that ? I havnt felt any better on 30mg,so i went to a dose at 3pm 5 hours later. That night i slept like i havnt in 10 years. Ive heard that you sleep better when armour starts to work,,or that happening means you need the exrta amount.so the question is...is another dose at 3pm going to muck up the cortisol cycle because i would love to sleep like that every night...when i woke up in the morn,it felt like id come out of a coma...but in a good way. Thanks,. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
