Pressure and pain in the head again!

[Guest guest]

So the pressure is back. And headache. I've been on 35 mg HC now for almost 1

month, and my face has grown bigger. I doubt that is hypothyroid. Why would I

Get More hypo with more HC right? This is more likely high cortisol. (???) But I

also started Testosterone gel again about 1 month ago as well. A smaller dose

than before (200 mg daily) at 75 mg daily. HCT started rising again this week,

at 54. (40 - 50) - Could my rising HCT/HB/RBC be the reason why my head hurts

now? This is TESTOSTERONE GEL raising HCT and so on, without a doubt, as

Hertoghe says. I also woke up at 5 am with irregular heartbeat. Low potassium or

just Hypo? Hertoghe told me to step down from 35 mg HC to 20 mg, and if that

doesnt make my face less bloated, increase Thyrod with 15 or 30 mg every day

(morning) - Isnt it crazy to step down with 15 mg HC like that? :-) I emailed

him back with my worry about the huge dose change but got no immediate reply.

(for 2 days) So, now I am kinda

clueless again. Should I start taking VItamin E? Would that bring down HCT? I

remember HCT was fine on 100 mg Testosterone daily. HCT didn't rise til I upped

Testostosterone to 200 mg daily. So now that I am taking only 75 mg Testosterone

daily, why would HCT rise??? Is it because I don't take Vitamin E now, or what?

I will get my vitamin results this coming week. Then I'll decide if I'll start

Vitamin E again or not. I need to do something to bring HCT and HB down..... I

fear too much blood is giving me strong head symptoms! :\

Hmmmm, what to do??

It may well be your on too much HC here is a link from a post of a guy that is

up on this " Chris' experience with Cushing's Syndrome " . Read this link and do

what your Dr. is telling you.

I also have back pain now. Headache. Pressure in the head. Bloated face. I might

very well be on too much HC. I wonder why he told me to go up to 35-40 mg HC,

now down to 20 mg? 20 mg is NOT enough! I think I'll just dose slowly back down

to 30 mg instead. That's NOT what my doctor told me to do, but it's a weekend

and he's not at work til Tuesday,

sooooo..........................................

But won't an increased HCT and HB from taking Testosterone give the same

symptoms; Headache, pressure in the head? I remember these symptoms from the

last time I had high HCT/HB.

That is what I tell people is to go down slow 2.5 mgs every 3 days if you drop

down fast you feel to low.

I will go down 2.5 mg to 32.5 mg and wait a week or so to see how I feel.

What's weird is that my BP got lower while increasing from 30 to 35 mg HC.

Having a slightly lower than normal BP - Doesnt this mean I can NOT be high on

cortisol?
