Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I have had a real rough time lately keeping my adrenals at bay. I was taking 35mg cortisol but still didn't feel good legs weak and standing blood pressure would drop up to 20 points. I stress dosed using 20mg extra and got me feeling better, stronger, and standing BP was going up insteade of down. So I cutback to 35mg again and went right back down. Also I had a bad emotional time and know that did not help my adrenals. So my doc is letting me use 55mg to get me back up so my adrenals will get healed, but we are not sure how long I should give it and for sure how to dose the 55mg a day. Val you had me taking something every 2 hours cause 4 hours just seemed too long for me. Got any suggestions people, I deeply want all your input, this forum has helped me so much. My doc even bought Janies book and read the website so she would undertand where I was coming from. She also had me add 30mg armour to my 50mcg T3. When went down so bad this last time, I dropped it cause did not want to stress adrenals more..but she felt my T4's were too low and so was my RT3. I take benazepril and Triam50/25 and amlodopine for BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 RT3 cannto be too low. Now T4 as long as you have ENOUGH T3. T4 ois JUST a storage hormone. Rt3 is a leftover dreg from when we were hunter and gatherers and if we got ill we would die of starvation if your nmetabolisms were not shut down. We now are able to eat sick or not so we do nto need RT3. I would go back to the 2 hour dosing for 50mg 8AM 10mg 10am 10mg 12NOON 7.5mg 2PM 7.5mg 4PM 5mg 6pm 5mg bedtime 5mg http://www.nthadrenalsweb.com http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://faqhelp.webs.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/ http://www.thyroid-rt3.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HypoPets/ http://artisticgrooming.net/ > I have had a real rough time lately keeping my adrenals at bay.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks Val for the info, will use your schedule for taking the 55mg cortisol. What should I be looking for in way of how I am doing to know when to start cutting the cortisol back, and oh yes when should I add the armour back with my T3 or should I just stay with T3 only beings T4 is just a storage? > > I have had a real rough time lately keeping my adrenals at bay.
