Guest guest Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Please forgive the vaugness of the measurements - it's the best I can do (this is for a friend) On 2.5% cream for about a week ~ nickel-size dab in the morning; dime-size at noon; dime-size at bedtime. Was feeling fantastic ~ energy in the afternoon (finally!) and sleeping well at night. Low thyroid on 37.5mcg T3 (divided 3x/day) Microbid for recurrent, incipent yeast infection. Beloved family member just died. Yesterday afternoon, she could only do 11 minutes on the elliptical and had to get off; arms felt like lead weights. Worried she was taking too much cortisol, she did not take her bedtime dose and woke up achy, and also possibly feeling the beginning of an infection (lymph nodes are hard and barely scratchy throat). Could this be a reaction from too much cortisol? OR is her body asking for a few days of a good stress dose on top of her regular dosing? many thanks, ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is a stress dose will help, worth trying anyway Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
