RE: My adrenals are not tolerating armour. I feel like I am going to die.

[Guest guest]

I had a hard time sleeping when I started HC. When I finally got my

dose up to 35mg of HC a day my sleep got much better.

It sounds like your adrenals need support of some kind. Have you had salvia

testing to know what yourcortisol levels are? If your cortisol is low, and

you can't take HC orrally, you could try using the OTC cream instead. Your

body has to have cortisol. Period. You cannot function without it.

I also homeschool. We haven't gotten much done this year so far because it

has been a crazy year and I have felt so bad. But that is one of the

wonderful things about homeschooling, you can be flexible. Remove stress

from yourself as much as possible. Don't try to do everything and don't try

to do school at home right now even if that is what normally works for you!

There are tons of educational computer games and television shows. order

books from the library and sit and read them together when you feel like it.

You can get back to the " official " work load when you are feeling better.

You can catch up later just like with everything else. I haven't worried too

much because both of my children are a year ahead, so even if we do't do

anything this year, we are " still on track " .

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright
