Well, this is the month I was on the adrenal glandular, initially

feeling great, then I think I took too much of it (on a doctor's

advice to increase). I could not separate out what was thyroid,

what was adrenal at that point. I mostly got a fast pulse and some

pounding, waited it out for at least a week and then decided to

decrease first the thyroid, then ended up decreasing the glandular

also. I have felt a much more distinct improvement on Cortef than

the glandular, most significantly the elimination of most of my pain

in my arm and hand, I know it has to be good for me right now.

Writing all these posts has helped me think it through, and I am

thinking maybe the glandular might be what gives me the pounding. I

have still have been taking 2/3s to 1 pill a day with my Cortef,

because I thought the glandular is what gave me back my sex drive

and I didn't want to let go of that! ( I am blushing!) Probably was

the higher thyroid! It is so confusing, though, because at first it

seemed like it was so great!

, do you think the levels for the 2 1/2 grains look the best?

Thank you for your help!
