Re: Success with Derealization! / dosing after clearance

[Guest guest]

Hi Kitty: I read your " not sure how to progress " , I've been trying to look up

the same thing. Nick's website says:

" you may suddenly find resistance clearing and end up hyper with a high

temperature and fast pulse. If this happens then drop your dose to nothing or

maybe a quarter of what you were on and take your pulse each time you would have

taken a tablet, if it's high skip it, if it's near normal then take half what

you would have done normally. "

from:

http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/dosing.htm

The rest of that page talks about the " dose finding process " , including

monitoring pulse & temps. This seems to be the main point, and several of

Nick's posts have referred to it...to increase slowly until pulse & temps are a

just little high, then decrease a little. It is a process, and other factors

may affect it: when I wasn't looking (?) my body's HC requirement changed, so

I'm lowering my HC dosage, and that is affecting my temps, although not my

pulse.

" You will be going through the dose finding process again but this time without

T4 in the way so you should be able to find a stable place within a week or so

at somewhere between half and 2/3 of what you were on before to feel " non-hypo " .

My BF always talks about sodium in our bodies like a battery with low fluids.

Without enough salt nothing can communicate leaving us all foggy, confused,

aggitated etc. I am sure it will present differently from person to person but

still the same idea generally.

shakiness, trembling, feeling spaced out all the time, feeling like I was going

to " fade out. " None of which helps with the DP of course.

GONE! In fact, I actually FLEW to Dallas and drove on the highway for 1 and 1/2

hours BY MYSELF! I stayed in a hotel by myself. :-) Yes, I had a few moments of

anxiety here and there and some spaciness, which I attribute to the stress of

traveling and how hot it was causing some salt loss, but overall, the trip went

off without a hitch and I'm home without a trace of DP left.

Maybe it's because Florinef helps with being spaced out or dizzy due to

electrolyte imbalances and those sorts of things really aggravate DP. Or maybe

it's just that ANY insufficiency of adrenal hormones leads to anxiety and

anxiety = DP. I truly believe that DP CANNOT exist if there is no anxiety.
