Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 It i sANY symptoms in relation to the timing of the HC dose. If you get shaky 3+ hours after the HC it is lowering ACTH and you need ot bumpo UP the dosing, if you get shaky oe hot 1-2 hours after a HC dose it means HIGH Cortils and you should l,ower. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 >>So, my question is should I stay put with 5-2.5-2.5-2.5 for now? I have taken 5-5-2.5-2.5 for the last two days, but notice I feel a little nervous after my second dose. I have felt warmth also.<< You need to be graphing your temps., That is the ONLUY way to knwo for certain when you are on a proper dose of HC FOR *YOU. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thanks Val! I have been graphing and have not seen any 99 temps. I have been doing the graph with axillary temps though. My averages for the last three days have been 98, 97.8, 97.7. Yesterday I went down on the Cortisol to see if it was that, because I noticed when I got to the 5-5-2.5-2.5 I felt like an adrenaline kick in around the third dose. Before I started any Cortisol this was the time I felt best from about 4-9 p.m. Today, I feel better but now I have a headache in the back of my head. I would get this all the time before starting the Cortisol. Is this related to low Cortisol or is the thyroid reaching my cells?? This morning I also, lowered my T3 in case of a dump. Also, the one thing that I did change when I started feeling bad is take my Cortisol first thing in the morning with food instead of thyroid first. So, I went back to my old way yesterday and today. I know you said you would like to see me at 7.25-5-2.5-2.5, but I want to make sure I need this high of Cortisol first. My doctor would like to keep me at 15 total. I think if I felt I needed this she would go up to 20, but I want to be certain I need it first. Thank you Val for helping me sort this all out. Re: Thyroid Dump >>What should you do if you think you are having a thyroid dump? I am tryying to figure out if I am having a dump or too little cortisol. It feels worse in the evening. I feel like an adrenaline rush toward the end of the night. I took 5-2.5-2.5-2.5 today. I lowered the seond one to see if it helps. I probably screwed up my levels for my sleep tonght??<< Are you graphing your temps as you are rasing the HC? This is MOST important now as it will let you jnow when you get to a good dose of HC. I have not seen thyroid dumps at this low a dose, usually 25-30MG HC. But to determine if this is your case, take your temp. Temos that average ove 99 for the whole day are throid dumps if not from fever. You are mostlieky just at an imbalance in the cortisol. You have a very flat rythm in your dosing that needs t be corrected. I would go to 7.5 - 5 - 2.5 - 2.5 to correct this. Take note of WHEN any hypolike symptoms start inrelation to each dose of HC. this can tell you alot of what is going on. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thank you. If I am on 5-5-2.5-2.5 how would you lower it? I did feel weird after my second dose and it happened within the hour. So, could some of my symptoms of not being able to breathe at night have to do with getting too much Cortisol? It seems I feel better on 5-2.5-2.5-2.5, but my headache came back. I had also lowered my T3 a tad. Do you think the headache is related to that? I have had it now for two days. i used to get these before I started the Cortisol. Then, after I started it I hadn't had one for a month until now. Any ideas whats going on? Thank you I really appreciate you and all the time you put into this.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Thanks Val ~ I will do just that. I was worried I was having a thyroid dump because I was having a hard time breathing and felt hyper/anxious. This is why I lowered the thryoid a little. I was given 25 mcg of T3 and my doctor thought I would be able to tolerate 37.5 now that I was on cortisol, but I didnt' want to increase my dose until things were stable as you had told me. So, I thought I would just dump some out instead of ordering new T3. Then I noticed as I increased from 5-2.5-2.5-2.5 to 5-5-2.5-2.5 of the Cortisol I was having breathing problems and rushes shortly after my second dose and felt like I didn't need any more when it came time for my third and fourth dose. I was also having trouble sleeping. One last question. I am on birth control pills and went from 9 weeks/1week off to taking them 3 weeks/1week off. Would it be foolish to try to stop taking them right now? I have one more month left and was going to try and stop them. My doctor wants me to eventually stop them as they are suppressing my estrogen. So, my question is should I stay put with 5-2.5-2.5-2.5 for now? I have taken 5-5-2.5-2.5 for the last two days, but notice I feel a little nervous after my second dose. I have felt warmth also.
