Re: could someone advise me please

[Guest guest]

It sounds like she is getting sick. Did she do a saliva test? Is she charting

temps for adrenals?

Dawn,

It just sounds like she is sick and nothing more.

Hugs to you, Dawn! I know we talked a bit and I don't envy you trying to take of

this while your daughter just left for her 1st year of college! YOu are a very

good mom. :-)

BTW, basals can be weird sometimes because they often change based on how much

cortisol you have at night or how you take your thyroid meds, too. Mine were

really high when I had high cortisol and then they go low now if I don't take

enough HC at night. So it makes it confusing, to be sure.

Can she at least try to take a midafternoon temp, just one, to see if it's 98.6?

Usually, if you're not hypo, your midafternoon temp will be 98.6.
