One more question re: stress-dosing

[Guest guest]

One more question for your Barb, you thanked me for my tip about

stress-dosing through Armour increases, but how are you and DH doing

it - what size dose and when?

Thanks,

Well, I've started a new weekly ramping up procedure. One week he

tolerated a 1/8 grain increase like there wasn't even an increase.

So I gave him another 1/8 grain the next day. Then he got just

slightly hyper and had to take another squirt of HC. So now I bump

him 1/8 one day, wait a day, then bump him the second 1/8, stress

dose if necessary, then wait a week before another increase. This

keeps him on roughly a 1/4 grain per week increase.

Since misery loves company, thought I'd let you know he crashed this

weekend. Perfect storm of too many stressors and waiting almost two

hours past when he was supposed to take his HC. Got nauseous and

anxious and even stayed home today--still recovering. " Honey, you

did a ! "
