Re: Sick....with fever, not sure what to do

March 7, 2010

Hi, Steph

That certainly sounds like a bug, and I know there are some going around here

now.

Val and Nick have said that healthy adrenals can make 60-80 mg. a day when we're

sick.

You could certainly use some cream. 1 ml = 10 mg of HC. If you don't have a

dosing syringe, that's a scant 1/4 teaspoon. If you stress dose for more than

three days, you need to taper down, at least to your expected dose of Isocort.

Best,

Ann

down hill since. I took my temp at 3:30 today cuz I was feeling off, it was

98.1...took it at 4:00 it was 98.6...just took it again at 4:38 and it's 100.

I'm achy, with chills, and horrible headache.

problems. Should I stay at the 5 mcg 3 x a day?

suggested Isocort on a 3-3-2-1 schedule, but I don't have any and I'm not sure

when it will arrive. I ordered it on Saturday.

Sounds like it could be flu, supporting adrenals is inportant then,

Hopefully Val can jump in here.
