Question about stress dosing

[Guest guest]

I have been on 35 mg HC per Val's dosing advice to me since the 16th

(last Thursday). I felt so much better on SAturday and Sunday. I

actually accomplished alot towards getting ready for my crowd at

Thanksgiving. I was careful not to push myself too much. Yesterday,

my day started good also until the afternoon when I received a nasty

phone call from dy DSS's wife (DSS- Dear or maybe da*n or dumb step

son). DSS is in jail and since DH and I wouldn't bail him out, she

felt it her right to call and curse me and say as many hurtful

things to me as she could before hanging up on me. Anyway, after

that I became quite shaky and nauseated. I stress dosed several

times and actually ended up taking an extra 40 mg. yesterday.

Today I took my regular 12.5 at 8, but by 10:30 I took another 10 mg

because of nausea and shakiness. I took my regular 10 mg at noon and

another 10 at 1 because I was still nauseated. It is somewhat

better, but still there now at 2:30. Should I take another 10? If I

have confused you, so far today I have taken an extra 20 mg.

My questions are: How many days can I safely stress dose? Is 10 mg

at a time the proper stress dose amount? AND Will my body want more

than 35 after I quit since it gets used to a larger amount? My

thought is that the stress is burning up the excess while I am

stressed, is that right?

I'm sorry that I didn't pay more attention to stress dose questions

in the past.

I can't believe how much her nastiness knocked me back to still be

so unsteady today. I've got to get better as I'll have a house full

of guests on Thursday and I still have cleaning and cooking to do.

I've tried to explain to DH that this is making me physically sick,

but the hasn't fully understood the adrenal fatigue thing anyway

since " a doctor " didn't diagnose it. This is also his busy season at

work right now, so he has that added stress.

So VAL, I'm all for your idea to move as far away from family as I

can get!! Add to my stress the fact that the people they associate

with and the life they lead combined with their spitefulness

actually scares me for my children and our home. 1 1/2 hours away

just isn't far enough!!

Kris (GA) Sorry for the long vent!!

I would stress dose with 5MG doses, less to have to stop later on, and

for no more than3 days or oyur body will get used to it and demand it.

Next time she calls, hang up on HER right away, you will be amazed at

what THAT will do for your adrenals!

I know Val and some other folks might be upset with me for saying this.

However, based on what I have been through and am still going through with

cortisol replacement, if I had it to do over again, I personally would never

take more than 15 mgs. of HC per day but that is just IMHO....

counseling too! Way to go Val!

,

I can't speak for anyone else, but my thought is that individual experience

is valid, and I almost ALWAYS think discussion is constructive! I'd love it

if you would explain why you think 15 mgs is the max dosage for you ...

Thanks, Val! I finally ended up with 30 extra for the day (including

my bedtime dose to come) before I stopped feeling nauseated. So that

was at least less than yesterday.

I had planned to just not answer if I saw her number on the caller

ID; however, it might actually be more fun to hang up on her as you

suggest. LOL!

Got any room for us southerners up there in WV? Actually I have a

long time friend who lives in sburg.

Kris (GA)

PS. , I'd also like to hear why you say no ,ore than 15 daily.

The best I've felt so far didn't occur til last weekend when I had

reached 35 for several days.

And before hanging up, screw up the courage to say

" You may not speak to me this way. " It gives one a

terrible case of butterflies (or worse) to do it, but

the feeling afterward is well worth it.
