Guest guest Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 > I won't be the one to explain it, but I went on HC in Dec. About 2 months ago I also started to bloat up and get jiggly fat (i'm thin). I saw this as a sign to reduce my HC. I was at 32.5 and took 7 weeks to reduce to 20. The bloating is gone. I took my dose below the bloat level. I'm still working on firming up the lost muscle tone. Part of this is due to the rest I gave my adrenals, but most is due to the HC effect on lean muscle- breaks it down. -AG > Sun Jun 24, 2007 5:36 pm (PST) > I've been on Cortef since November and have had great success with it. > I'm hypo with adrenal fatigue and on compounded T3 and T4.
