we have been having major stress in our family for quite some time--but recently it has gone up tremendously. I am wondering if this is a time when I might need a little extra cortisol? if so, how would I judge how much and when to increase it.
low cortisol, I have been trying to folllow the dosing schedule you suggested, and I do think I feel slightly better---i have a hard time remebering the times, some days---i think I need a watch that can set multiple alarm times to remind me.
Today, because of the addes stress, i have added in about 10 extra mgs of cortisol. I don't want to have to do this on a regular basis---especially since i can see this stress could get worse---or at least go on for some time.
What would clue me in to knowing that i need a little extra cortisol on the days when my body isn't handling the stress very well?
I had originally been told I only needed to stress dose when I was ill---but I have seen that people on here sometimes dose a little extra when emotional stress gets to be too much.
