Re:HC Successes Out there?

[Guest guest]

Yes! 2 years ago I started out with Isocort and built up to 8-10 or 12 per day,

then switched to HC. I was at about 25 or so mgs. per day for a long time, but

then it seemed to become too much, so I gradually reduced the dosage to

20-22mgs. per day, depending on stress. After a while I went down to 17.5 mgs.

per day and was stable on that for quite a while. Then I started forgetting

doses and was okay; no shakes, no symptoms. After about a week or so of that, I

started weaning down and eliminated the last dose several weeks ago. I have had

no problems whatsoever, even during the worst asthma attacks, but yesterday I

was wheezing so bad I started to shake, so I stressed dosed with 5 mgs. and was

fine. I have been fine today; no shakes, so no HC. It has not been all clear

sailing, and I am still on T3 for a while, but I consider it successful in that

I don't need the HC except now and then during severe stress. I will stress dose

for that, because I don't want to get back to

AF and I realize my adrenals are a bit fragile, so I have plenty of HC if I

need it.
