Re: Safe amount of cortisol only 15mg per day?

[Guest guest]

Well, I would have to disagree completely because several months back, when I

reduced my dose of cortef to 7.5 mgs. per day, I became very ill, adrenally

insufficient and couldn't pass an ACTH stim test. Thus, if my body only needed

to produce up to 7 mgs. per day, then this would not have happened with my being

on 7.5 per day.

Safe amount of cortisol only 15mg per day?

I read a claim that Jeffries is relying on information that has been

disproved in the 90's; that the body actually produces only 5-7mg of

cortisol/m2 (whatever that means) per day instead of 40mg-->. I have

both Jeffries's and 's book waiting on my desk but I just

haven't had the time to read them yet. Does anyone know anything about

this?

I know what you mean. I really needed to be on 35mg of HC for a while,

and I'm still on 30mg. But I'm asking if this is really a

physiological dose or in fact a therapeutical one? Which would be

quite scary in the long run since I haven't been able to lower my dose

since september/october.

NO ONE to this day has disproved Jeffries work.

One of the BEST ways to see if oyu are taking too much HC is to track

your blood glucose. It WILL go too high if oyu are on too much HC. It

may take up to a week to come up but it WILL come up if you are on too

high a dose. There can be other causes of high glucose besides high

cortisol but this is one way to track your usage to make sure you are

not endangering yourself.

You can get one at any pharmacy, but ASK them,.. tell them you are just

doagnosed Diabetic and many have FREE meters they will give oyu.
