Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi , I just started Florinef last week, w/ the help of an aldosterone test and doctor's rx--of course Val was the reason I looked in this direction at all. Do you happen to know what your sodium levels are? Mine were pretty low, as was my aldosterone. But what I wanted to say is that before trying the florinef, I found celtic sea salt and licorice to be tremendously helpful to me. I can't tell what would help you, but what I did was gradually raise the amount of celtic sea salt I drank in a day until I was drinking about 2 tsps total. To this I gradually added Nature's Way licorice until I was taking about 4-6 caps, also spread out through the day. This gave me more energy than I've had in a long time and brought my temps up from the high 96's to the high 97's and I stopped being cold. I also am on 37.5-40 mg hc, which I don't recommend unless you've tried the lower doses of hc first. So why not try the salt and if you can tolerate it the licorice first, is my thought, before going for testing.
