Temps bouncing around after Armour i

[Guest guest]

I ordered the glucose monitor so that I can try to get a better handle

on what I'm doing with cortisol.

Val, it was suggested to me on Real Thyroid that I should be

stress-dosing through this Armour increase since I seem to be

struggling with it some like usual. Last time I stress-dosed through

an Armour increase was two weeks ago and I doubled every dose for the

day and dumped that night big-time - splitting headache, high temps,

sweating, very high BP for me. When I posted about it you asked why I

was doubling like that without being sick. Since I seem to need the

extra HC when I increase Armour, how would I stress-dose this one to

give myself a chance of avoiding the massive dump?

I'm on 1 3/4 grains of Armour in three doses (splitting the extra 1/4

between the first two doses) and 37.5mg of HC dosed as 12.5mg of cream

at 8AM, 10mg at 11:30AM, 7.5mg at 3PM, 5mg at 6:30PM and 2.5mg of

cream at bed-time around 10:30PM (staying up to watch my Buckeyes get

beat by LSU tonight but about to give up on it). Assuming that I

should be stress-dosing tomorrow, how much should I add? 5mg to each

of the first 2 or 3 doses including doubling the cream? Doubling the

cream dose is exactly how I brought on the dump last time.

Thanks,

I would add in 5MG between the first two doses ONLY. If that is not

enough to handle thje Armoru increase (how much are ou increasing?) you

need more HC altogether.

I was on 1 5/8 grains of Armour now I'm on 1 3/4 grains so 1/8 grain

increase. I'm now on 37.5mg of HC. My temps for the four days prior

to the increase were:

98.07

98.33

98.07

98.13

98.27

I increased on that last day. The day after the increase my temps

dropped to 97.83 and then yesterday spiked up to 98.83. I haven't

taken my first temp today, but I can tell already that I'm cooler than

yesterday.

When you say add " in " do you mean add " on " so take an additional 5mg

with my first two doses, or take 5mg more in between those two doses

which, for me, on a 3 1/2 hour dose schedule would be every 1 1/2

hours or so.

Barb's husband seems to experience the same fluctuations in temps

after an increase so maybe I should just expect this and hope that it

evens out?

A little mild nausea but nothing bad. Didn't sleep well last night so

I'm feeling wiped out, and I'm still somewhat dizzy behind the eyes

(reminds me that it's about time for some more sea salt) but the temps

have dropped back down to low 98s again already. I'll keep watching

them, as always, but maybe I'll be able to stick here.

Thanks,
