Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yes, I think that could happen. I am on 35 mg cortisol and I tried small doses of T3 (25 mcg broken up 4 times a day) and could not tolerate it. So, upping it is possible especially if you felt much better afterward. I think once everything starts working better in a few months a person can start lowering the cortisol again. Cheri -----Original Message----- I have been taking 30 mgs. of HC each day and trying tidbits of T3. This morning I got the hyper feelings again and then took 10 more mgs. of HC an hour later and it all stopped. I have felt fine since. Is this an indication that I might need more like 40 mgs. HC to tolerate thyroid? Do other people need that much before they can take thyroid? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a man I have been chatting with for 2 years in the UK that sees Dr Peatfield that takes 60-80mg daily and it si not a BIT too much for him. Everyine is unique in their needs and Dr Peatfield assumes that he must not utilze the Cortisol as well as some other more effecient people do or he loses much in digestion. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Thanks Val, I'm going to stay on 40 mgs. esp. since I've got the appt. with Dr. Blanchard tomorrow and want this to work. I assume I will be able to decrease at some point once thyroid is okay like you said yesterday. This sure gives me hope now!!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 AT one point I needed 60mg daily but it was only a short period of time, 2 weeks was the max I stayed on that dose. Then my belly fat started growing fastr than i could just about watch it grow, so I cut back but It took about 2 months to go back to 30MG wher I stayed for months after that. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm pretty convinced that I'm one of those people. I'm on 40mg of HC and trying to take it every 3 1/2 hours. My temps are steady and I'm ready to increase Armour by another grain to 2 grains tomorrow - FINALLY 2 grains. Despite the stable temps and BPs that rise when standing, I'm still dizzy pretty often and it gets worse when I'm stressed in any way. I know that my digestion is a mess and I'm doing all that I have learned to improve it so that I process the HC better, but I think that I lose a lot of it down there. I just don't want to make a mistake and shut down my adrenals for good when the only objective indicia that I have show that I'm on enough. > > >>I have been taking 30 mgs. of HC each day and trying tidbits of T3.
