Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I would feel pretty certain this is still lo cprtisol. I have only I think 1-2 times seen peole actually do wellon less than 20MG, VERY rarely. as you adjst the dose there are always doses thtat dp not agree with you, too much in the AM lowers cortisl later in the day and then you ned ot bring that up a bit more too. -- 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 February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Val - was this a suggestion for this poster only or in general. I thought the ramping was like this 10-5-2.5-2.5 (after the 5-5-2.5-2.5) It seemed kind of weird to me that in the afternoon you would take so little. For me as an example I'm lowest in the morning and afternoon and I'm thinking 2.5 for the afternoon might not be enough. Any thoughts? > 5-5-2.5-2.5 > From here I would go to 7.5 - 5 - 5 - 2.5 > > -- > Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 on 20mg or less you really do not need much HC at all inthe afternoon and especially evenings. Too much when daytime dosiong is this low will onyl cause sleep problems. The minute you take HC you change the ryhtm of your cortisol. A higher AM dose lowers it later in the day. And you HAVE t get the AM dose high enough to work. It is possibly the ONE most important dose of the day at a 20MG dose. From abotu 25mg on up the later day doses can determine good sleep or not. >>Val - was this a suggestion for this poster only or in general.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 You graph your temps using the method of www.drrind.com until they are stable enough to correct thyroid deficiencies as low thyroid can also cause anxiety and all the HC in the world will not correct a low thyroid anxiety until it is corrected too. These hormones work together. You simply need enough HC to be able to tolerate the proper amount of thyroid and for it to work right. >>Do you keep taking HC or Cortisol until you don't have the uneasy lingering anxiety symptoms? Will these symtpoms come back each time and I will know if I need to add more Cortisol? What do I tell the doctor, I am not holding on that dose anymore?>> -- 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 February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I am wondering if I am having a thyroid dump or too much cortisol. I have only had a blood test which was .30 in the .20-1.80 range for cortisol. I was doing good on lower doses and it seems when I got to the higher dose I felt some angry feelings, but I was able to relax. I am currently taking 5-5-2.5-2.5. Today, I treid 7.25-5-2.5-2.5. I have had that uneasy feeling I had before I started the Cortisol. I have that low anxiety all day. Also, when you stress dose do you need to take double all day long or can you just go up on the morning dose? My doctor wants me to stay at 15 mcg of Cortisol, but how do I do this if my body needs more? I am so lost. I would appreciate any advice and sorting this out. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Val, Thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you and the e-mail gang. Nothing better than getting advice from people who have been there. What dosage would you suggest for 20 mg? I am at 5-5-2.5-2.5. I am waking early in the morning. Sometimes I can go back to sleep and at other times I cannot. I am sorry but I only have the Cortisol blood test to go off which was .30 out of ..20- 1.80. Thanks for the help. Re: Thyroid dump versus too much Corisol I would feel pretty certain this is still lo cprtisol.
