Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I need help understanding the effects of cortisol. I am up to 15mg of cortisol. I thought that taking cortisol allowed your adrenals to stop making it and that allows your adrenals to rest. Why, as I am increasing my cortisol, do I feel more powerful rushes after about 2 to 3 hours after taking a dose and unbelievably awful rushes, heart palpatations and anxiety in the middle of the night? When are my adrenals resting? I am stage 5/6 adrenal fatigue. (Got the results in August but started cortisol December).I took 2.5mg 3 hours ago and I am shaking so bad right now that I can hardly take it. Could someone PLEASE give me a solid explanation? Does the raciness ever go away on higher doses of cortisol? How do I know that my adrenals are stable enough to start considering my thyroid? My average temps the last 7 days were 97.2, 97.3, 97.2, 97.2, 96.9, 96.9, 96.8 (oldest to most recent). Will my temperatures ever go up and are these temperatures considered " stable " or do they have to be higher before I consider tyroid treatment? Boy, do I need some reassurance today!
