confused and frustrated - any advice?

[Guest guest]

3 weeks ago I started to ramp up my HC from 10mg total a day to 20mg

total at the same time I started having cold symptoms. I stress dosed

10,10,5 and 5 for 2 days. On the 2nd day of 30mg, I had a fever but

woke up the next day feeling better. I messed up my dosing that day and

only took 25mg. Since I was still feeling better I continued to taper

back down to 20mg total. The next eight days I felt like I was fighting

a cold, but I didn't feel really bad. It was Thanksgiving week and I

was fairly busy. Day 9 I started feeling bad in the afternoon and

spiked another fever. I added 2.5mg to daily dosing for the next 2

days. Added another 2.5 for the 2 days after. For the last 3 days I

have been miserable. I have taken 30mg today and yesterday. I seem to

be getting worse instead of better. I am so confused. Does this mean

that 20mg daily is not enough for me and so I am not stress dosing

enough? I would love some suggestions, I can't seem to see the forest

for the trees here.

Thanks,
