Re: Labs and symptoms suggest hypo but very high hart rate

[Guest guest]

O.K. I have droped cortisol a bit (2.5 yesteday and 2.5 today) and today heart

rate has gone down (86/92, last days it was 100 or higher all the time)!!!

I am taking today 17.5 HC and I feel somewhat better. I don't know if it is too

early to draw conclusions but if it is really high cortisol what is bothering me

right now (after clearance), it seems a bit slow to reduce 2.5 every 2-3 weeks.

Will it be unsafe to reduce the dose quicker?

Thank you Nick,

I will try to reduce very carefully, and as you said monitoring temps and

symptoms. I actually feel considerably better, relieved, after having reduce 5

HC in only two days. Pulse rate has gone down very noticeably!

Many thanks again!
