Re: Stress Dosing for Fun Stuff?? Bump

[Guest guest]

Thanks Val, that makes sense. I was a little concerned with the idea

that you should stress dose when you're supposed to be doing

something fun but the realthyroidhelp people say they do it. Someone

going to Disneyland was stress dosing. Things of that nature.

Although I did have an adrenal episode after going to a concert, I

wouldn't want to HAVE to stress dose for those kind of things.

Perhaps once I get some decent adrenal support I won't have these

episodes for the fun things in life. Thanks much for your thoughts.

Weaning from cortisol causes belly bloating? Can you explain how this works?

I get an

enormously bloated belly sometimes, but it can come and then go again in a few

hours, and

i'm having a terrible time figuring out what is causing it.

So is it possible that blowing up in the afternoon and then deflating in the

evening could be

from having too much cortisol during that time?

I'm currently taking 15-5-5 of an extended release cortisol (cortisol mixed with

methylcellulose at a compounding pharmacy); but nobody seems to know how

extended the

release really is. The pharmacy claims 24 hours but I don't believe it because

if I skip the

dinner dose I can't sleep through the night.
