Temps good enough to add Armour?

[Guest guest]

Hi Val,

I haven't posted for awhile as I was trying to get some good temp readings. Here

are my

labs again...

saliva cortisol (before starting any adrenal supplement)

7-8am 19 (13-24) Normal

11-noon 4 (5-10) depressed

4-5pm 2 (3-8) depressed

11-midnight 3 (1-4) normal

Cortisol burden 28 (23-42)

DHEA 6 normal (3-10)

Bloodwork done end of November '07 while on 1 grain Armour but not taken day of

test

and no adrenal support

TSH 2.27 uIU/mL

Free T4 .84 ng/dL (.61-1.76)

Free T3 2.7 pg/mL (2.3-4.2)

I have started ramp up on isocort according to schedule currently on 5 pellets.

My temps most recently are are 97.5, 97.4, 97.3, 97.5, 97.8, 97.7 (today)

My endo gave me an additional 15mg Armour, I am currently on 1 grain, so now it

will be

75mg or 1 1/4 grain total.

I have been taking just the 1 grain still and am wondering can I start adding in

the other

1/4 now?

I have been really tired, and extremely dry eyes since starting isocort.

Thanks,

I would say try it, your temps are very close to stable

I recommend going up 15MG every week untiol you hit 2.5 grqains if there

are not adrneal reactions. Then you must slow it down to allow time for

the T4 converison.
