Re: Maybe cream is too potent and messing up my morning rhythm

[Guest guest]

It can be either too much at night or not enough. EITHER can make you

more tired in the AM.

So I rubbed on less tonight. I guess that I can rub on more tomorrow

night and see how I do Sunday AM. Would measuring glucose in the AM

give me a better idea?

That is a good idea. I was, for a week or so, dosing my last two doses

of the day with cream, but doing that two weekends ago is when I

experienced my first hard core thyroid dump so I backed off to only

using it at night. If I add that second dose of cream back in I should

make it the first bigger dose. The downside of that is finding enough

skin to rub in 1gm in the AM and .2gms at night - the stuff spreads

and spreads and I'm shrinking lately so I don't have a lot of extra

skin to work with. I know that that there are much less desirable

problems to have, but there it is. Are you going to cut your last

dose back too?

I'm really dry too. I'm using generic Rite-Aid cream that has a bunch

of moisturizers in it too. When I'm out of this tube I'll look for

one that has fewer of those kind of ingredients. It would be good if

they had it in gel and cream - gel usually rubs in fast.
