Up to 60 mg HC a day... will it level out?

[Guest guest]

Been on hc since Jan 13 and have followed sttm protocol for raising

and stress dosing. I have to take this much to keep my temps up and to

keep symptoms at bay. Is there any cause for concern? I planned my

pill order to last two months including weaning off but at this rate,

I'd better order some more! Any thoughts on my situation? I'm also on

3 grains Armour, too.

WH have you gone so high? Unless oyu have severe absorption problems

60MG a day IS too much and for most even wiht absorptio problems it is

too much. Please tell me some details. What were your saliva labs before

you started what symptoms, ?

I'm a male, just turned 55. I've had a long history of low-grade

health problems since I can remember. Fevers, muscle aches, lethargy,

weakness, sub-normal temps, mental fogginess, coming alive as the day

wore on, and always wanting to stay up late and then sleep late the

next morning.

I've been under the stress of a kitchen/room addition and a bad cold

so I've been stress dosing. I'm the general contractor so I don't do

heavy work, just light duties, and I rest often. I take enough to get

my temps to normal or close, and when my arms ache (my earliest

symptom) and it progresses into a deepening tiredness. I feel a heavy,

dizzy sort of feeling coming on, and when I get that bad, I take

another dose. And for the past two days, it has taken this much. Maybe

I've jumped the gun here, but I would rather start earlier than to let

it go.

I had this run at a local lab:

RESULTS:

TPO 0.........10...........................34

TGAB 0..................20........................40

Cortisol from C. Club

8 am 13 (13 - 24 nM) normal (yeah, right!)

12 noon 5 (5 - 10 nM) normal (ditto!)

4 pm 2 (3 - 8 nM) depressed

Midnight 3 (1 - 4 nM) normal

Cortisol Burden 23 (23 - 42)

DHEA 6 (3 - 10 ng/ml)

(0n chart, it is in the Reference range at position 3 up, and position

6 over, which puts it scraping bottom next to Zone 5 - Non-Adapted,

Low Reserves)

Thyroid

TSH 28 (26 - 85 nlU/ml ng/ml)

T4 .38 (.17 - .42 ng/dl)

T3.50(.28 - 1.10 pg/ml)

TPO Negative

Estrsdiol 11 male (50-85 yrs.): 1 - 5 pg/ml pg/ml

Progesterone 94 male (5 - 95) pg/ml

Free Testosterone 36 male (51-60yrs) 35 - 65 pg/ml

Yes, I believe I mentioned that I'm on 3 grains daily. I'm doing

research on Medrol but I would rather stick to HC because I believe it

to be more " bio-identical " .

Thanks, Dan, for the feedback. I am only up to 30 mgs hc so far today

and it's now 4:30. I did feel a little weak from time to time but seem

to be doing ok. I think I had a couple of stressful days and really

ramped up to get thru them.
