Yeah, I did ask. I was told “Yes, you need HC (hydrocortisone, aka Cortef) to support your adrenals. Then the thyroid hormones can get into your cells.”

One book I read, said its great, the perfect cure, take it for…………………9-18 months, then slowly wean yourself off. Its that word “wean” I have weaned myself off a lot of things and in my opinion it is never easy “weaning”.

One book I read said be really careful, it shuts down the adrenals, it should only be taken if adrenals real low. I don’t know how low they are….

One book said start treating whatever is most in trouble, either adrenals, thyroid or testosterone……well that’s helpful isn’t it……..not! They are all in trouble.

I am now getting to the point where I can now start asking meaningful questions and hopefully understand the answers. Just taking hydrocortisone is not something I’m willing to just do.

Before I launch into something that I’m gonna have to wean I want to make sure I understand in all correctly, which I don’t yet. But it will come to me sooner or later…………. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />
