Guest guest Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Low cortisol can keep you awake at night just as much as high does. It does this as when you get too low you go hypoglycemic then your body releases adrenaline. End of sleep for hours after tht. You can try taking some Isocort at bedtime and not eating any carbs after baout 5PM then eating high protein at bedtime. Sometimes this combo is helpful sometimes it just takes ghetting the cortils higher to be able to return to normal sleep. Slow.ly raising the Isocort until you can tolerate HC would be my suggestion. -- 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 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Metta, Have you had ferritin checked? Low ferritin makes it difficult to tolerate thyroid meds. Also, ask for your vitamin D 25 hydroxy level to be checked. When you talk of being in the sunshime and sleep was good, you may need supplementation with a prescription strength Vitamin D. in OH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm back on the prednisolone liquid as my MI doc suggested at it does seem to be smoothing out those blood sugar problems a few hours after I fall asleep. I took it one hour before bed last night (lights out at 10PM Val) and didn't take or need my usual bed-time dose of HC cream. However, I am still waking up at 4AM, like clockwork, every night and unable to get back to sleep until 6AM if then. Took half of an Ambien at 4:15AM and all it did was make me a zombie for when I did have to get up at 7AM. Whatever is waking me up at 4AM is powerful - guess it's adrenaline then even though I didn't push it hard yesterday, tried to rest a lot, and took most of my HC earlier in the day as we discussed. Spoke to GA doc and he suggested changing my HC dosing to 15-10-7.5-7.5 and to drop the night-time dose but wasn't too psyched about the pred. again. He wants me to try the chromium again and some homeopathic sleep patches that he sent me that work with energy. I bought them although I am skeptical. Has anyone else with the 4AM wake-ups found a remedy that seems to work? Thanks, > > >> Does high cortisol keep you awake?

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Since weaning off of HC, I have been waking up at 4:00 a.m. as well. I come out to the computer for a while....watch the sunrise, then crawl back into bed for another hour of sleep. Funny thing is I see my neigbor flip her light switch on about 10 minutes after I come out to my computer. Poor thing must have the same curse. Don't know if it has to do with taking less HC or not. But this week I've deciced to up the HC again to see if that's it. If it is...then back to HC for a while, and forget about weaning! What's waking you up? Have you tried a protein snack? > > >>Has anyone else with the 4AM wake-ups found a remedy that seems to work?<< > > YES! Shooting the neighbor's dog!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi , The 4am wake-up happens to me occasionally. I might have it for a week or so and then it goes away for a while. I can't seem to find anything to help it. I have read that some people suffer from hyperventilation without actually knowing it and that contributes to lower blood suger and the consequent " adrenal buzz " felt in the middle of the night. Typical symptoms of hyperventilation are: -sensation of not being able to get one's breath, a sensation of not be being able to get enough air, a need to take deep breaths, sigh, yawn, a sensation of " not enough oxygen " . -mouth breathing This probably doesn't apply to you, but I thought I'd post it anyway as you never know. Go to http://www.drmyhill.co.uk/article.cfm?id=362 page 116-118 for more info including self-tests you can do and remedies. Let me know if you find a cure, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I usually wake up between 3:30 and 5:00 sometime, and if I eat something (usually Ezekiel Bread toast), then I can go back to sleep. If not, I'm wide awake for a couple of hours. This is no doubt hypoglycemia (with the accompanying adrenaline Val mentioned), but I don't always feel hungry.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wife came to bed at 3:45AM last night and has been keeping hours like that lately. I can't shoot her (she'll be the only one with health insurance if I keep going like I'm going and, the way our house is laid out, the only thing that I could do to separate us sleeping is for me to sleep on the pull-out sofa downstairs which would not be kind to my body. Whether the catalyst for waking me up is her, a full bladder, or a loud car outside, it's what happens afterwards that makes it impossible to fall back to sleep - racing thoughts and weird images like Barb's DH described, maybe stomach growling a little (a lot less now that I'm using the pred), sweating at first. And then, even if I get up and eat a little, drink some salt water to make sure that I'm not dehydrated and even take another sleeping pill (although only half) I still can't get back to sleep. Yesterday when I tried to take a nap at 3PM I was exhausted and fell asleep but woke up with like a jolt after less than 10 minutes, started sweating and got anxious. I have been reading on some psych forums that that kind of stuff is sometimes associated with benzos like Klonopin so I am starting to suspect that it could be part of my problem - maybe my new and improved metabolism is cooking through what used to be an adequate dose of it and I'm having some withdrawal. My psy doc's initial answer was to take more (nat) but I told her that I think that I want to try to wean off instead but that I am afraid to because it is likely to make the sleep and anxiety even worse. I picked up my samples of Seroquel (subject of another post) and I'm going to do some reading on it. It might help me through this rough patch and help me wean off of the Klonopin. Or the whole thing could still be cortisol related and I'm barking up the wrong tree. I just sort of feel like I'm on the right track with the pred. and that something else has been contributing to this trap that I am in. QUESTION FOR VAL - Speaking of pred., MI doc's idea was to try 1ml for three nights, and then to double to 2mls for three nights, and then to double again to 3mls and hold. Do you think that I should go for it in the hopes of just bringing up that over-all level of cortisol in the blood or stay pat since it seems to be having the desired effect of smoothing out the blood sugar jags although it isn't, by itself, helping with the 4AM wake-ups. Thanks, P.S. Sorry about the length and the rambling - lack of sleep will do that to you > > >>Has anyone else with the 4AM wake-ups found a remedy that seems to work?<< > > YES!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi Metta, I wish that I had an answer for you, but if it's any consolation, you're not alone. There are a lot of us here with sleep issues and my major issue since beginning treatment/support for my adrenals (also only discovered after I started trying to treat my hypothyroid condition with T3 meds like Cytomel and now Armour) has been insomnia and it has recently gotten worse and more consistent. I'm not as bad as yours, apparently, because, with the help of drugs like klonopin, lunesta, and ambien, and maybe, just maybe, getting close to getting my HC figured out, I do get to sleep and stay asleep for anywhere from 4-6 hours which I know some people would kill for. The problem for me, as for you and so many others here, is that we need more and better sleep than that in order to heal the adrenals and we're not getting it. I wake up consistently at 3-4AM and then can't sleep, or sleep as you described - half asleep or less for hours until I have to get up and then I'm wrecked in the AM. I usually can't even nap for more than 5-10 minutes, if I can nap at all, despite feeling exhausted. I posted earlier about trying to take a nap yesterday and waking up suddenly after 5 minutes, sweating and in half of an anxiety attack. My multiple pronged approach is to have a sleep study done (seeing the doc for a consult this week); get my HC rhythm worked out (supplementing HC with prednisolone for me b/c the blood sugar highs and lows cause me problems in the middle of the night as well as all day); trying a small dose of Seroquel which is prescribed, off-label, for anxiety and insomnia; and trying to wean off of the Klonopin that I have been taking for a couple of months and that I think might be contributing to my insomnia and retarding my adrenal recovery. I agree with Val that on that low a dose of HC (that you are getting from Isocort) you are probably not improving your chances of being able to sleep and you might be making it worse. If you have labs you should post them so that people can comment on them and give you more informed advice. If your adrenals are in bad enough shape you might need to give the HC another chance - you're very lucky to have a doc willing to even think about prescribing it. Good luck and I hope that we find some good sleep soon. > > Hello all, > > I need some help.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Different things wake me up - the wife has the last couple of nights, but I should be sleeping soundly enough for it not to matter b/c I have a white noise machine, we have a king-size bed, and she's small and quiet and she used to not wake me up. Even when she comes to bed earlier (which for her, lately is more like 2AM) and I happen to wake up I can usually get back to sleep. It's the time - 3-4AM - and whatever our bodies are doing at that time that is doing it. Barb has pointed out that 3-5AM is when healthy adrenals are supposed to start producing the cortisol for 6-8AM when we are supposed to wake up (which is why so many of us can probably relate how hard it was to get up early for years before we ended up in this state) and that, trying and failing to produce that cortisol maybe they're creating adrenaline instead (at least I think that Barb said something like that once). Val has pointed out that if you didn't have enough cortisol during the day, i.e., you're running at a deficit, the adrenals will struggle all night and that could be the cause. I don't think that we know for sure. For me, this 4AM wake-up is different than a low cortisol/hypoglycemia wake-up which I am very familiar with - waking up 2 or 3 hours after falling asleep starving and with a stomach ache. I end up in the same place usually - unable to get back to sleep for hours b/c the adrenals pump out adrenaline - but getting up to eat a little cheese and stress-dose 2.5mg of HC used to help with those. I haven't been waking up that way much, especially since using the prednisolone at night. I do eat a before bed snack of sunflower or almond butter on a few apple slices - another suggestion of Barb's. It sounds to me that your adrenals might be struggling a little which could be accounting for your wake-ups. If you have other adrenal symptoms during the day (dizzy, or dizzy when standing, low BP, difficulty tolerating your Armour), you might need to get back on the HC for a while. I have taken heart from your account of successfully weaning off of HC. I hope that if you do have to go back on it it is only for a small amount and not for long. > > Since weaning off of HC, I have been waking up at 4:00 a.m. as > well.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hi , I used to suffer from air hunger but that is one of my hypo symptoms that Armour seems to have resolved (it has helped me in some respects). I'm sure that if any kind of respiratory problems are accounting for my problem that they'll pick it up during my sleep study since that's what they're primarily looking for as far as I understand. I don't think that that is my problem, but I'll check out the link. Thanks, > > Hi , > > The 4am wake-up happens to me occasionally.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yes, that was his plan that I think you found to be worth trying - 1ml for 3 nights, then double to 2ml for three nights, then to 3mls and hold there and all of that without reducing HC dose. Then, if " that wasn't working for me " start reducing HC from the night-time doses first. I don't know that I need the extra as I'm not waking up hungry like I used to, but if you think that it is still sounding like hypoglycemia, maybe I do. Maybe instead of doubling just go to 1.25ml which is the dose that I tried before and that is equal to 5mg of HC. I did have some success at that dose before the rails came off a few weeks ago and I quit it. I also think that I can take it later rather than sooner as I was when I was taking it at 7PM. I took it almost at 9PM last night and went to bed at 10PM and it held at least through 4AM when I woke up and I didn't even start to feel hungry for 30 minutes afterwards while I laid there. I finally got up and ate some cheese to go with my 5mg of Ambien and some salt water but it was too late. I guess that I should check my blood sugar again at that time before eating. Last I checked it at the wake-up (few days ago) it was 81. > > It is still sounding liek hypoglycemia.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Thanks Sol. I did see that but I believe that it applied to people who are on the much higher doses for the anti-psychotic benefits. I would temporarily be on a much, much lower dose to help with the anxiety and insomnia which will get worse as I try to wean off of Klono. I know that this sounds like a slippery slope and it's similar to the one that I'm on with Klono, but I'm going to talk more about it with my psy doc, including the diabetes risks, and monitor my BS at home too.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Hello.... I truly appreciate all the help that I have been given so far, so I would like to help as well. I have extensively studied natural treatments such as amino acids and herbs and would like to share some of my knowledge.... May I suggest that you consider 5-HTP. It is the natural precursor to serotonin, extracted from an african bean, TOTALLY crosses the blood brain barrier and will also calm the mind....I take mine with Vitamin C/B complex both from New Chapter organics since they are cultured whole food I feel that they are more bioavailable for the body and thus our brains! Anyway, this stuff has done wonders for me....I learned alot about the amino acids and such from 2 great books by Ross: The Mood Cure The Diet Cure These books changed my life.... The waking up early is a definite symptom of low serotonin..... I also have used True Calm by NOW with success as well. It contains many amino acids known to calm the body and mind. It has Gaba in it, so if one were on any benzo's that would help the weaning process...I know from experience. I get most of supplements from a company called iherb.com or VRP.com. I feel that they are both reliable and fast in their processing with nice prices. jasrich jasrich@...> wrote: Hi Metta, I wish that I had an answer for you, but if it's any consolation, you're not alone.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 , You've already tried 1.25 and it didn't work, the important point being " the rails came off it " . This time try it like the doctor wants you to. Straight up follow instructions.You won't find out if it will help if you don't do it as instructed. You sound like you are still veyr wary of or even frightened of the HC and the pred, but try to set that aside and give this a real try. Excuse me if I'm reading into your reluctance fears you do not actually have, but over the time you've been posting here, you do seem to have been dragging your heels constantly on the HC. No offense, ok? In my time on this list, I'm gradually seeing some patterns in HC. Some just do it, and get to their ideal dose and heal. Some go too fast, and too high, miss their best dose and end up with problems from too much HC, this makes for a much longer time for recovery and healing. And some just fight it constantly, and never get to their best dose because of fears of longterm adverse events. These folks won't heal well, because their dose will always be too low for their needs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. sol jasrich wrote: > Yes, that was his plan that I think you found to be worth trying - 1ml > for 3 nights, then double to 2ml for three nights, then to 3mls and > hold there and all of that without reducing HC dose.
