Is this a crash?

[Guest guest]

Hi Val/all:

I am hoping I am wrong, but after a pretty physically strenuous

Christmas eve, I am feeling just drained - weak legs, arms, need to

sit down alot, palps.. (I don't have hardly any stamina, strength

anyway!) I am taking 8 pellets of Isocort and scheduled to start SRT3

on Jan. 5. My alternative doc does not believe in Ferritin and is

super cautious about Cortef so today I bought some Hydrocortisone

cream and decided to use it in place on Isocort (assuming I'm at @20

mg. dosage). This same thing happened to me last year when I tried

Armour w/o knowing about treating Adrenals first. Took me several

months to recover. I would appreciate any feedback about what

a " crash " feels like..last year I blamed it on my Lyme but am more

certain now that it was because my adrenals were shot (saliva testing

in August showed barely discernable levels at all four times). I've

yet to feel any difference in Isocort dosing (like if I miss one, I

can't really tell). Is this the time I should " stress dose " and as

important, can I do anything else to feel better????? Vit. C, more

sea salt?, more HC?

Thanks for your thoughts on this..I learn so much each day from all

of you...

PS-am taking @100 mg. of elemental iron daily on my own to raise a

ferritin of 47.
