cortisol not low?),

Low cortisol can promote adrenaline production with the resultant

panic feeling and high pulse.

This can be triggered by low T3

>which is why I have been reducing my HC dose...I have been taking HC for over a

year now...got up to 32mg/day at one stage for quite a while then slowly have

been reducing and reducing as I didn't feel like I was needing as much. It's

hard because low cortisol and high cortisol symptoms sounds very similiar.

Should I not be off HC after a year?

Not necessarily, you need to get everything in place, adrenal,

ferritin, and thyroid in order to stop stressing adrenals and stand

any chance of weaning off
