Yes it sounds liek your earlier Armoru treatment did oyur adrenals in. I

agree oyu need more HC and slower ramp up with Armour,. Also check

Ferritin, men are not immune to low ferritin levels.

Mark, I gasped when I first read this, then realized you just have

grains confused with mg. 1 grain of Armour = 60 mg. At 90 grains of

Armour you'd probably be dead taking 5400 mg!

> I've been trying to ramp up Armour in 15gr increments

One thing you might try is cutting your 1/4 grain pill in half to 1/8

grain. It's much easier on your adrenals to do small increments more

often. Started my husband on 1/8 grain in the morning, then two days

later added another 1/8 grain to the afternoon. Been doing 1/8 grain

raises about every 4 days, which is only slightly slower than the

recommended 1/4 grain raise once a week. Of course there are the

usual setbacks everyone's written about, and we've had to increase

his HC and switched from Iso to cream, not to mention a cold with

fever that he had to stress dose for, but this program is working

well and he is now up to 1 grain after about a month's time.

I'm just using a Wal-Mart pill cutter and it works pretty well. You

might also go to 4x/day dosing: breakfast, lunch, dinner, bedtime.

This sounds fine unless oyu have trouble staying a sleep at night then you might

want to move another 2.5 from an earlirer dose to bedtime.

You might consider using the perfectly legal over the counter

hydrocortisone 1% cream for some of your doses. That would fill you in

to get up to whatever dose you need, inexpensively with no mail order or

customs worries. As you may have seen from many recent discussions of HC

cream many of us use it either for part of their total daily HC or as

their only HC. I use cream almost exclusively, only taking the pill HC

when I will be where it would be extremely inconvenient or embarrassing

to use the cream.

Check the archives for messages on the cream.
