RE: got labs back, need advice :)

[Guest guest]

, thanks again for the advice...I've started Armour thyroid but I just

don't know what

to do about the HC. I was really struggling with 17.5 mg, with all the anxiety,

and

jitteriness. I tried to ride it out, but it just wasn't going away on its own.

And like many on

this board, I know my body so well from years of experimenting with different

meds. I

know that I just wasn't tolerating that dose of HC, and it wasn't just in my

head. I couldn't

continue like that even if my body needs more cortisol. Maybe I should keep my

overall

dose a little low but my morning dose high when I need the cortisol most?

Please keep in mind that if you aren't taking enough HC then these syptoms

won't just go away. When your body uses up what you have taken, then it will

start asking for more. If your adrenal glands can't produce the cortisol,

they will produce adrenaline instead which is what causes the anxiety and

jitteriness. This usually happens a couple hours after you have taken the

HC. If you take more HC the symptoms should go away if this is the cause.

Now if you are having an allergic reaction to fillers int eh HC the reaction

should be more immediate and should be different. What you are describing is

classic low cortisol symptoms.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy

enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright
