Hydrocortisone 2.5 cream/ountment online

Hello all,

I have had adrenal fatigue on and off for years. Not i no longer have the off..it is consistent and i have been self treating with licorice, topical 1% hydrocortisone (just started this a week ago) and low dose pregnenolone cream. Started the preg one month ago? It's helped but i don't want to stay on it for fear of the side effects and conversion to estrogen. The hydrocortisone cream seems to be helping especially with the fluid retention, but i feel like recovery will take a higher dose. I was onced prescribed oral hydrocortisone but when i took it that cause water retention and a horrible crash so I stopped using it. Does anyone know where to purchase hydrocortisone 2.5 topical online?

HydroCortisone does cause terrible water retention. It's well-known for it.
