Hi Linda, its good to hear from you, dont worry about HC, basically it is just giving your adenals a well deserved rest. Andy Cutler explains about this in his book. It is more dangerous not to take it when you need it, you are on the right track. Hormones take a while to sort out, mine are still out on some days. Are you taking Salt for your adrenals, this is very important, i didnt realise until i stopped for a couple of weeks.
I thought of you when the sun came out, you say you feel better when its sunny, i like it but my temperature control is out of wack, im either too hot or too cold, i have had this prob most my life.
