Re: Switiching from Synthroid & Cytomel to Armour and HC

[Guest guest]

Cortisol

AM 6.1 (3.7 - 9.5)

Noon 1.6 (1.2 - 3.0)

Five 0.7 (0.6 - 1.9)

10PM 0.3 (0.4 – 1.0)

Estrodial 1.9 (1.3-3.3)

Progesterone 85 (75-270)

Ratio Prog/Est 45 (100-500)

DHEA 7.2 (2-23)

Looking at these labs, I owuld definitely try the 10MG HC first and give it ai

shit. I have not oifen seen less than 20MG work but you are at lest in range all

times except night time, so that is hopeful. I woud follow your switch over plan

except for one thing. I would start the Armoru at 30MG split twice a day AM and

noon then in a wek if thta goes well, raise by 15mg and every week raise 15mg

doses till 3 grains, then hold. The lwoer increases help the adrenals handle the

thyroid better.

If the link breaks go to the list homepage: Files: How to Treat Low

Cortisol: Ramp Up Schedule

I personally don't do well with either progesterone or DHEA, so you

might want to wait on those for a while until you see how the cortisol

affects you. Starting too many things too close together leads to not

being able to distinguish which thing might be causing any benefit or

adverse reactions.

just my 2 cents

Do you think this applies even though I'm already on a T3 med?

Yes as the T3 in Armoru is stroinger (at least I feel it is) than

synthetic T3. Armoru also contains T2 andT1 whihc are not inactive as

was thought for many years.
