Re:Night Sweats Experiement

[Guest guest]

Terri,

Where did you buy Sweet Ease and what's in it? I must have missed this thread.

I've been having night sweats, but usually just take another Isocort tablet if

they wake me up.

Thanks,

Does the Isocort stop it? I buy Sweet Ease from Banyan Botanicals. I think they

sell retail, too. It's banyanbotanicals.com . I sell it at my store, usually to

those with diabetic or hypoglycemic issues to regulate the sugar/insulin

balance...

Not for me. It took estrogen replacement.

For me, the Isocort stops it within about 15 to 20 minutes. I think my cortisol

levels are still really low at night though.

When you took estrogen replacement, how did you know that you were

either high or low? I got my Total Estrogen done, but it only gives a

number and then the different ranges during the times of month. And

what time of the month did you do it for-my doctor never said WHEN to

take it and I didn't think to ask? Did you do bioidenticals? My

doctor put me on 300mg of progesterone, 3mg of Estradiol, and 1mg of

testosterone to begin with and I feel like I'm on PMS for a whole

month-my face is starting to swell and so is around my tummy-had

dreams about being pregnant and turns out that too much progestrone

may be the problem because it's related to morning sickness? I'm also

on Cortef and I think it's messing with that,too-the reason for the

swelling in the face as well-I'm all out of balance.

Hi Sheila,

I am menopausal so I used that range on the test. Maybe someone else

could help you with other ranges on the test.

Yes, I use a bioidentical estradiol gel 4mg every day. It has helped

me a lot. I think you may be taking too much progesterone too. It did

that to me on a much samller dose. You may want to back off that for

a bit. Some people can take that much and some can't. If you are

still having cycles I do not think you are to take progesterone every

day.

How much Cortef are you taking and how are you dosing it throughout

the day?

Darla,

Thank you for helping. I agree, I think I'm on too much progesterone,

too-always feeling sick to my stomach; I don't see the doctor until

after next week so I guess I have to suffer until then. I'm taking

10, 10, and then 5 of the Cortef. Someone told me that Cortef can

have water retention problems so I was considering taking Medrol?

Shelia,

Is your doc going to run tests week after next to see where you are on

the hormones? Can you call the office and talk to a nurse or just lower

them a little yourself? You might be on too much estrogen too. It made

me feel sick to my stomach when mine was too high. I just backed off it

a little and I was fine.

You might want to reduce one thing at a time so you will know which one

it is.

He supposedly put me on the lowest possible dosages of each, but I

don't believe that for the progesterone. I had to ramp up very slowly

when I first started, one pill every other day, for a week, then two

pills every day so I'm nervous about doing anything myself. His

office is almost two hours away, so by the time he would write a new

script and mail it to me I would be at his office by then. I guess I

really should call and see what to do-been pregnant three times

already in my life and that was more than enough morning sickness for

me LOL!
