Guest guest Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 >> Ok..so when any of you started on Cortef, do you get acne all over your forehead excessive menstrual cycles. I have eye pain, jitteriness,heart palpitations , shortness of breath. I took 10mg this morning and felt worse. << I see it this way..YOU are convinced it is from too much cortisol so when you take it it is causing more stress than it is releiving, so cut it back. If your symptoms woren then you klnow it wasn't the HC. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezwecken (maker of Isocort) has an OTC product called Progon-B that helped me. But just be careful, because it's so easy to OD on P!
