Re: Sweats in the morning-hypo thing???Tish

Tish,

So do you think this is something to worry about, especially if it

is caused by the increase in meds? Or will it work itself out? For

me, I have only been on the increased dose for 3 days...

So do you think this is something to worry about,

_____________________

I don't think so or I'd be dead by now. One way I know if it's too

much stress on my adrenals is to take my pulse in the morning and if

it's a little elevated, then I know I need figure out some ways to

reduce stress, or I need to drop my thyroid dose for a few days and

then the next time do a smaller dose raise, or increase Isocort a

little for about 3 days. For me, it just means I have pushed the

adrenals a little too much and they are stuggling to keep up. I know

I need to take action when I have a night sweat every half hour at

night and don't sleep worth a darn.

Good - I haven't been waking up during the night like with the meno

night sweats, but do have trouble getting to sleep even though I'm

exhausted.....not taking anything for adrenals, though. But as long

as it's just the dose increase, I don't think I need to worry too

much - maybe just wait a little longer than 2 weeks before the next

increase.

I'm not used to paying attention to my symptoms - usually I just let

everything go and figure it'll get better on its own. But now, with

the self-medicating, I'm aware of every little thing and probably

overreacting!

Thanks for the reassurance!

If your next dose raise crashes you, you may need to wait a bit

longer between dose raises. The adrenals can take a bit of time to

recover between dose raises. For me that was about 4 weeks.

Not being able to get to sleep even though you are dead tired is an

adrenal thing. When you stress the adrenals, it tends to mess up

your circadian rythem and causes lower production of melatonin.
