HC ramping up schedule?   Message List

Re: [Hypopituitary_Support] Re: HC ramping up schedule?

Thanks Chris. She's on day 5 and doing fine. If anything it's time for her
to raise. Her baseline cortisol was 14. I know you don't go by temps only
by how someone feels, right? She has actually felt better after only a
couple of days and now today on day 5 is dragging again and couldn't get out
of bed this morning. The last few morning she's been able to get up. I
guess it's time to raise, right?
