Hi I am a new member and just saw your post, I have started to have blurry vision since last October and saw an optician who said I have dry...
Apologies for the long post. Here are some of my meandering ideas based on the article referred to above - links here: An interview with Dr....
I had a very similar experience with HC. I felt noticeably warmer - for a while. Yes, the labs are making money for some private company, as well...
I hope that you fully recover from the experience.
I started this exact treatment 2 months ago. Today I finally tapered off the cortisol. It does not work. It did not help me at all. I have a...
Is hair a good indicator of cortisol status?
I remain to be convinced that low cortisol is a widespread problem in people with ME e.g. This recent study of 107 people with ME:...

Thank you @Amw66! Had your daughter low cortisol? How much did she take? And how long?
Ok, this is most probably "an old fish" for most of you, but I hope I can profit from your knowledge and personal experience. Due to POTS and due...
I didn't fully understand this paper but my impression is that the modelling is a whole lot less sophisticated than the big words might suggest....
New paper from Dr Broderick’s team. It seems to me that this would be a first paper and that other are in the works. Abstract Background The...
I think there are many roads into this illness, which is part of the reason it is so hard to crack. My daughter's base cortisol is low, so...
True, but surely we would see a massive rise in the incidence of ME in places where the citizens have all undergone a substantial stress if...
