Dawn,

I have been getting alot of info off the www.stopthethyroidmadness.com website and one of the recommendations in one of the testimonies by Missy is to take Ashwaganda and Siberian Ginsing (Eleuthero).

I started taking these two weeks ago and upped my hydrocortisone and am doing much better. The Ashwaganda and Siberian Ginseng level out your cortisol levels in your system, which help the hypoglycemic symptoms and mitigate the shakiness when the next dose is due. I highly recommend reading Missy's testimony.

Valerie the forum moderator on that website for adrenals is great and answers questions same day. She has helped me immensely. One thing she helped me with was first the HC dosing and finding out that I upped my armour meds too fast. She gave me instructions to take my temps (See Dr. Rind's site: www.drrind.com) and told me how you know when your adrenals are properly supported and you're ready for more armour is when your temps do not fluctuate more than .2 degrees over a 4-7 day time period.

Go to Dr. Rind's website to learn how to understand how temps help you know where you are whether you have adrenal and/or thyroid issues.

Hope this helps,
Gabriella
