You are still looking a bit hypoglycemic and with tempos till

fluctuating a bit I would go with more HC. I treat hypoglycemia at 75...

That is what I was taught by my Diabetes guy that knwos where numbers

HSOULD be for ideal.

Sorry accidentally hit send before writing anything on previous post.

If you were DH, I would increase HC by 5 mg., and I would try 6x day

dosing, never starting with more than 10 mg as your first dose. You

can try to keep it to 5x/day, but with the extra 5, not sure where

you'd put it. You already proved with your weekend experiment that

you're suppressed at 15, and I believe you're suppressed at 12.5. Just

like the 4x/day Armour dosing, I will tell you this over and over until

you try it. (started a month ago!)

Well now I'm going to quit the vit D and see if the adrenals quiet

down. I'm already on 40mg of HC on my slightly revised dosing

schedule of 10 - 10 - 7.5 - 7.5 - 5. If I went to 42.5 or 45 where

would I put it, being mindful that I was trying not to take 15mg doses

early in the day so as not to really upset ACTH and sleep patterns

later? What do you think of this stuff that I (and Bill) have been

posting about the vitamin D? Shot myself in the foot again?

Wait, wait, see one of my last - I'm dosing 10 - 10 - 7.5 - 7.5 - 5 so

I'm listening mostly. I'm also dumping the monster vit D dose which I

now believe has been responsible for flogging my adrenals. So, if I

were to go to 45mg 6x/day how would I dose it?

Space 3 hours apart and add 5 at bedtime. The double benefit of this

is that your adrenals will have a constant, steady supply of HC, before

they get close to running out at 4 hours. You may be able to go back

to 4 hour dosing later, but for right now, I would constantly bathe

your adrenals in HC to soothe them. They're beat! At least it's

almost the weekend and maybe after 3 days of this they'll feel better.
