First let's make certain you are doing the temp graphin cporrectly. We

are looking at a daily average of three temps that need ot be taken

starting once you are UP at least 3 hours and close to the same times

every day. Say you get up at 7 weekdays and 9 weekends, I would do temps

daily at 12(noon) 3pm 6pm. Then you compare the average from one day to

the next. Are you doing these corrctly?

Val - question about the timing of the temp taking. DeborahSu says

you just do it 3 hours after being up no matter what time that is.

I've seen you say a number of time to do it close to the same time

everyday. Would doing it one way or the other make that big a

different. It's so hard when you get completely different info from

wonderfully informed people.

Getting back from being out all evening...

DHEA is borderline low (within range). Aldosterone not tested, although

I do pass the flashlight test.

Val, I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought (with the

questions you are asking). My original question was " Aren't temps

supposed to stabilize between Armour increases? " - like if you ramp up

Armour and hold for a week or so, shouldn't temps restabilize? Mine

have not restabilized at all since adding Armour. They were wonderfully

stable on 25mg HC before starting the Armour. I am now at 30mg Armour

(as well as the 25mg HC) without stable temps and need to know what I

should ask my doc for when I see him this Monday.

Thanks so much for your time.

I am asking these questions to determine if something else may ne

causing th e destabilized temps besides low cortisl . Low aldosterone

can keep the adrenals from looking or feeling stable once thyroid is

added which adds stress to the adrenals. unstable temos is a low cortisl

SYMPTOM, so should not be ignored, but if otherwise you feel OK Then I

guess oyu can just keep increasing Armoru. If it wa mye I would increase

cortiosl.

Thanks, Val!

The thing is, I feel awful! My hypoT symptoms have become SO MUCH WORSE

since on the Armour. So, you would keep the Armour at its present dose

& raise Cortisol until temps stabilize? Then start ramping the Armour

at that point? This is just to clarify...

Thanks,

Sharon

You can try to hold the Armoru dose while stabilizing the cortils or you

can lower it a bit to eaes the adrena stress. I htink I would lower the

dose and restabilize the adrena;s then you can try rising slowly agian.

Val,

Would low aldosterone cause unstable temps or just low temps?

how would a person know if their unstable temps were due to low

cortisol or low aldosterone?
