I have not got a good thermometer yet, so my temperatur is missing.
I have a little trouble with sleeping. Not much now, but I wake up too many times during the night.
Before I started taking Thyroid in the night, I used a too mall dose of Thyroid (2.25 grain). I use 2.75 grain now. It feels good, changing of mood: more positive thinking, a bigger wish to fight, not give up and see the hopelessness. It is a nice dope this T3 ha-ha! I feel warmer. I have more energy through the day and in in the evening. So my doctor was underdosing me. And I feel like an idiot who let him do it. I was looking for the reason of my fatigue everywhere else that in the most obvious place.

I was at 22.5 mg hydrocortison last week. yesterday I used 17.5 mg. I am a little afraid I went too fast. So today I will try 20 mg. I had two periods of dizziness through the day yesterday. For me the dizziness have to do with too low cortisol.

I also observe that I need several doses of Thyroid though the day. So I take Thyroid in the night, the next around 10-12 o'clock, and one around 14 and on in the evening.

The BP this morning is too low. Can you read anything out of that Paul?
110/72 is normal for many people. 148/98 isn't though - it is high. The BPs/pulses all look better now. Slow weaning of HC is very important - very slow. You will need a cortisol test at some point. One of my recent blogs shows how to use a saliva test for cortisol when still on HC. You need a thermometer!!!
