Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Isn't reducing HC by 2.5 mg every 3 days too fast? I'm not at the stage of weaning yet, but I thought weanind down was supposed to be slower, as the adrenals adjust only slowly. If it was me, I would sure not be increasing thyroid while adrenals are struggling and I was feeling bad. just my two cents, sol dahlia_918 wrote: > I've been decreasing my hc by 2.5 every 3 days and am really feeling > bad on my 3rd day of 30 mg,I am really struggling and not able to do > much.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I would go back up on the HC to 32.5 or even 35mg. NOT a good time to even think about raisig thyroid! When adrenals are the least bit stressed yoiu can;t add more to them wihtout a BIG setback. -- 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 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi Val, Okay, I hear you about the armour! What do you think about raising florinef, as that is really where I think I need to go, as that seems to be the biggest factor in my recovery--I've been at .1 mg for 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I think you should hold the Florinef dose. You need to level out the cortisl levels before changing anything else. -- 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 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi sol, yes, you are right, I am going fast, but I had a water retention issue which was worrying me, so Val suggested the faster pace. I did okay at first, lowering from very high doses due to bronchitis, but I'm definitely stalled out now. And I guess now is not the time to increase armour. Oh well I appreciate your in-put.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Okay. If I'm dosing 32.5, I would do 10, 10, 7.5, & 5. But what about 35 w/o suppressing ACTH?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 How does that affect people who have gone too high with HC, and can't seem to wean down? thanks, sol wrote: > Yes it is too fast except when you are having HIGH cortils sympotms then it is important to lower to a physiological dose quickly. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether there is enough in the REAL receptors or not, so then you can get horrid low cortils symptoms along with the high cortiosl symptoms . It is not a good place to be. -- 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...
