Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 On 5mg of HC in the am..just added another 5mg at lunch today. Only on 1/4 grain of Armour. Can't tolerate more without adrenal symptoms. Body temps were steady, seem to be better, but I will have to keep checking another few days to say if they are steady now. (had a fever/cold in between..so temps were off a few days.) I have been waking with 97.6 or 97.8 in the am. And usually 98+ in the afternoons...anyway..despite all that... I am wondering..is the HC supposed to make you tired? I feel groggy and like someone sucked out the tiny bit of energy I used to have. I also noticed today that it's been three hours since the lunch dose and I am feeling weak in my arms and like I need to catch my breath, but yet I'm not out of breath (if that makes any sense?). I just feel weird.... I think I am going to stop the HC at this point and go back on my adrenal cortex..until further stuff can be looked into. But I am wondering...how should one feel on the HC? Better right, not worse? Yet, if I take the Armour wihtout the HC..I get adrenal symptoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Your symptoms are happening as the HC wears off. Thsi si normal until you get ENOUGH in you. It lowers your ACTH so your adrenals are not being battered for more cortilsl but also makes them incapable of getting the message to make more later in the day when you run out form not taking a further dose. I woudl say to go to 5 and 2.5 and 2.5 rather than 5 & 5mg dosing. -- 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 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 -ah ok...makes sense, and kind of what it feels like.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Often at first you will as you have no reserves. Omce you get enough HC to build the reserves your body will be able to deal with things better. -- 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 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Does it seem wise in this situation to speed things up a bit by doing 5mg in the am and another 2.5 with lunch and then another 2.5 in the afternoon tomorrow...? I am also wondering if I should go back to taking my adrenal cortex as well...to support myself until I get enough HC going?? I put some topical 1% cream on this afternoon because I felt so weak and faint, then laid down for half an hour. Feeling a bit better now. Enough to make some dinner... At this point, I am taking the 5mg at breakfast and going back to bed...I don't have the energy to stay up. Then I get up at 11am, eat..take another dose but by 3pm I feel sick and by 5pm I am tired out and need to lay down again. Then come bedtime..I'm ready nice an early.... I know this is supposed to be getting me well...it just seems like going backwards... > > Often at first you will as you have no reserves.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yes often when the reserves are really depleted starting out you will need to ramop up faster and even take doses closer to gether. OSm people need to dise every 3 hours at first. -- 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...

Don't neglect to MEASURE the cream you use. It IS a dose of HC after all, and we do need to know how much we are using. Please don't think the cream is insignificant. Any cream you use needs to be counted as part of your total daily HC. It IS raising your daily total HC. sol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSm people > need to dise every 3 hours at first. I second this one. I've been taking HC cream every 3 hours around the clock when chelating (mercury) along with my chelator dose for the last couple months. I mainly dose by how I feel. I can tell that I am building up some reserve for stressful events. If I burn through my reserve, it takes about a week to build back up at my dose. I could use a higher dose but there's only so much cream I can use. Off round I need less HC and can get a bit sloppy by an hour or so with the schedule.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 -OH don't worry this was a dab....I did not use the whole tube or anything. I never use nearly what other people do for that stuff. I just began on HC so..today I only had 10mg plus that dab of cream..which saved me, really from falling over..literally. I would have to say about the size of a dime....is what I used. -- In NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS , sol wrote: > > Jada wrote: > > I put some topical 1% cream on this afternoon because I felt so weak > > and faint, then laid down for half an hour. > Don't neglect to MEASURE the cream you use.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 1/8 tsp (level) which I see as about a dime size dab, is 5 mg HC. Not a negligible amount. If you did use a 5 mg " dab " you increased your total HC dose for the day by 50%. I just don't see this as insignificant. I don't think it is harmful either, but please measure so you will KNOW how much HC you are taking. sol Jada wrote: > -OH don't worry this was a dab....I did not use the whole tube or > anything.
