could adrenals be waking a little

[Rosina1871]

After a cortisol test I was advised I was slightly adrenal insufficient . I have kept to my 4.5 mg of pred for two months now and the last couple of days I have had more energy. Is now the time to drop another .5mg or should I wait to see if this new found energy lasts!

You could do, but in the light of the current bout of cold weather in UK and Christmas on the horizon I would hold fire until new year (and hopefully slightly warmer days).

What’s another few weeks? ..Good news by the way.

Thanks. I was thinking the same especially as I am cooking Christmas dinner 😳

Indeed! I found that as they were waking up I could feel pretty good, only for a crash to happen out of nowhere at some inconvenient time, especially if the stress (good or bad) was sustained.

thanks snazzy that’s what worries me. Think I’ll stay out for a while longer

Hope you’ve got plenty of help…and delegate a lot of the work…..like veggie peeling etc….and carrying stuff to and from table….

Most of all…enjoy.
