Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 >>Is there an ideal schedule for taking HC? I take 25 mg, 10/5/5/5 at approx. 9am, 1pm, 6pm, 10pm. I find I always wake up around 3-4 am, which is the one low adrenal symptom I never had (waking up in the middle of the night) so it's kind of irritating. Would taking the HC at a different time decrease chance of waking up at night?<< Are your temps stable at this dose? if not go to 10/7.5/5/5 If they are then you could try 10/7.5/5/2.5 -- 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 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 I have no idea if my temps are stable or not...I know I need to start tracking this but with my schedule/school/single motherhood etc, it's hard to remember to do it. Anyway, I will make sure to start doing it since it seems evident on this board that that's the only way to know if the HC /armour is working, right? thanks for the advice, Liz > > >>Is there an ideal schedule for taking HC?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 It IS the most reliable method I ahve found to know what is adrenal and what is thyroid. The two are VERY hard to sort out. -- 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 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Can you tell me what the protocol is? What i've gathered in my brief time on this board is that you want the temmp to be stable to indicate HC is at a good level--but for how long? One week of stable temps enough? And then you look at raising it closer to 98.6 to indicate need for increasing armour? Again, do you increase armour once a week or wait longer? thanks, Liz > > It IS the most reliable method I ahve found to know what is adrenal and > what is thyroid.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 sorry, one more question. What is considered stable? An average temp within how many degrees? thanks > > Yes you want at least 4-5 days of stable temps before a raise of Armour. > Then you should only raise by 15mg every week until 2.5 grains then you > MUST slow raises down to every 4 weeks to allow the T4 to build as it is > slower. > > -- > 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...
