Re: Weakness/ sleepiness and worsening sexdrive

[Guest guest]

your under a lot of stress going through a devorce. Lowing your Thyroid

meds might be one reasion your feeling like this but it can also be your in need

of more Cortef HC stress eats up HC meds. We call this the need to stress dose

read about it in this FAQ's.

http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/faq/

==============================================

31) What is stress dosing – what if I get sick? As Dr Peatfield just said, the

body makes more cortisol during times of stress. In Dr Jefferies book he says

“A patient with untreated mild adrenal insufficiency or low adrenal reserve

may function reasonably well when environmental conditions are optimum but tends

to tire more easily, and if strenuous physical exercise is undertaken or a meal

skipped, hypoglycemic symptoms may develop. If an infection such as a common

cold develops, symptoms tend to be more severe and last longer than in a person

with normal adrenocortical reserve.†“When a patient with adrenal

insufficiency encounters stress, additional cortisol is necessary to maintain

normal health and sense of well-being.â€

The first rule is to take as little as you need to get through the stress. This

does NOT mean to run your body low on cortisol, but to only dose if you really

need it.

ILLNESS: for colds or slight fevers unrelated to a flu take 20MG at the first

sign of illness, even at bedtime. According to Jefferies some people need up to

80MG a day to get through an illness.

FLU: Take 20MG four times a day till symptoms subside. Flu viruses attack the

adrenals and the cortisol directly so you need a lot extra for this.

DAILY STRESSES: At the first sign of nausea or shaking that can’t be

controlled take 5MG, wait 20-30 minutes for it to work and if nausea or shakes

are still present, take another 5MG, repeat till it stops. After a few such

times you will learn the dose that works for you, usually 5-10 MG will handle

most usual stresses.

SURGERIES: Make sure your anesthesiologist knows you have adrenal insufficiency!

ASK for solumedrol in the anesthesia IV. It is a normal precaution they will

readily do for you for safety.

EXERCISE: While it is preferable you do not exercise to the point of needing

extra cortisol, some feel it is a necessity of life to continue strenuous

exercising while on adrenal meds. If you are exhausted after exercise, or take

hours to recover, STOP. You are doing more damage to your adrenals and are

undoing any good you might be doing by treating them. If you just need energy

boost to do light exercise, try 5-10MG before starting the exercise. The trick

is to supply the cortisol before your adrenals are being beat up for not having

it.

Tapering off stress doses: If over three days, then you must go down slowly, no

more than dropping 5MG every 2-3 days, but if it was just 3 days then you can

drop 10MG every 3 days. If you start to feel exhaustion or especially flu like

symptoms, go back up immediately and slow the decrease down.

Hertoghe told me to loser Thyroid cause My fingertips were sweating! Theystopped

now. I took 5 mg extra HC for 2-3 days. I hate being on hormone replacements.

Hate to control things manually.

I hear ya Phil.

Sweating fingertips can be adrenaline. Too much adrenaline, too low cortisol.

BUT it did continue EVEN if I increased to 40 mg HC daily. COULD BE that too

high Thyroid AND too high Adrenaline from EXTREME STRESS (as my divorce was) did

this to me. I do feel a bit hypo these days, so I think I need to increase

Thyroid again. Hertoghe loves to change doses around with all hormones and tells

his patients that one day, they will learn and FEEL how much they need of each

hormone, or something like that. So they can, theoretically, change all doses

themselves, depending how they feel. I feel like increasing Thyroid now.

According to bloodwork, I can. FT3 is not in the very top of the range, but in

the 25% of the top range. However, what goes into the CELLS, nobody knows. So it

can be bad to take too much Thyroid when testosterone starts to build up. Then

need for Thyroid is less. Hertoghe is all about BALANCE between all the

hormones. He constantly reminds me

to take GH. I haven't dared doing so yet. I feel weak in my mind - But with

more testosterone, maybe I will have the POWER to do so. Soon.

Yes try that GH is the last thing you try and if your levels are high like he

says don't try it GH has a lot of sides. When we make a thyroid change it can

take 8 weeks to see the diff. in labs.

Isbt NDT visible after 6 weeks?

Anyway. You feel the change faster I Think.

So why does he tell me to take GH if my IGF-1 is high?

Shouldnt I trust Hertoghe?

I just don't know I am not a Dr. and don't know much about taking HG. I do know

for my age my top of range is to low. Most Dr.'s that use HGH say you need your

levels up in the higher range for a young man.

That's my problem too: I am not a doctor! LOL.

The first time I measured IGF-1 it came back at 750. The range is something like

250 - 450. Hertoghe didn't understand why it was so high so I tested it again.

It came back at like 500. He says I need levels around 750, because I have a big

(tall) body. The range is not made for me, he says. He also tells me that too

much of my growth hormone is being bound up, so it doesn't get into the cells

properly. Could be something. If I do have Secondary Hypopituitarism, this can

be true. GH is something I need to learn a lot about. I could try it, and stop

if it's horrible though. Is it true that GH lowers Potassium? I already have low

RNB Potassium.
