2nd Bump to Val: Another progesterone Q

[Guest guest]

Val, you said:

> > " Wow that dose is too high ! I have been hysterized since my mid-twenties

ans am 55 now and only given 100mg ONCE a day to take. Too much progesterone and

it can mimick cortisol and bind to cortisol receptors leaving oy uina cortisol

resistannt state "

> >

> > Progesterone on my last labs was 4.5. My doc thinks it should be between

10-20 (postmeno) and I was on a 350 mg troche, which she upped to 400mgs. My

liver enzymes are also slightly elevated. Since upping the dose, I've been able

to stop taking melatonin, and I sleep much better. I also increased my

aldosterone. With those 2 changes, I got high cortisol symptoms and gradually

decreased my HC from 40 mgs to 20. Do you think I'm getting myself into trouble

with such a high progesterone dose?

> > Also, I can't tolerate more than one 20mEQ Slow-K since taking antibiotics,

and the fluid retention is terrible. I was taking 6 before. Do you think a

vitamin IV with lots of K would help? Or not for long since it's excreted

quickly? I wish I knew if I could tolerate another form better. Chlor Chon

burns. Thanks! --Irene
