I forgot to say that also, my BP was 200/95 the other day and they had to
give me nitro.  How is your BP?  I started out on Armour and never could stay
stabilized and added T4, Levothroid and it really worked but took a long time
the way I did it.  Very slowly.  I was on 90mg of armour 2 years ago and
since adding in T4 I am now up to 75mcg of T4 and 60 mg of armour.  I believe
this cortisol problem has been with me all along though.  Have you had an
adrenal tests?  The high cortisol makes me itch awful.  I got a shot of
kenalog, 40mg and itched for 2 days.  I had to take pericatin and just sleep
through it.
