Questions for Val and other long timers...

[Guest guest]

I am still working on my ramp up schedule and have several questions.

I seem to be losing a lot of fluid since upping my HC dose ( I am at 25 mg a

day now 10-7.5-5-2.5). I feel like I am running to the potty every hour.

Also, I am taking 1/2 tsp. celtic sea salt twice a day. I am concerned

about a mineral imbalance and potassium loss and am wondering if I should be

supplementing potassium. I searched the archives but didn't find anything

there. The last time I had blood work both sodium & potassium were

normal.Secondly, I have read in the archives that some folks were able to

heal their adrenals by forgoing h/c & using adrenal support products like

Aderest and a host of support vitamins. I would like to know Val and the

others who have been here a long time's experience with this. IS this

possible? Or do you feel like HC is really the only way. I am at 25 now & my

temps are still all over the place. I feel like I will have to be at 30-35

to feel it but I am terrified I will hurt myself at that dose if I have to

stay there a long time.I am stage 7, so I am sure this will be a long term

recovery. Also, is weight gain a common side effect to HC supplementation?

Thanks all,
