I know I haven’t been updating this blog lately. It started because of the Christmas holidays and all the craziness that entails. Then I was feeling so consistently good, I didn’t feel the need for it either.

But I accidentally re-ordered my Cynomel too late, had to go down to half a dose for a week and a half while I waited for more to arrive, and am still paying the price for the mistake 3 weeks later. I was actually due for a dosage raise anyway, which I’ll most likely be implementing today – but I’m not sure how long it will take for me to get back to feeling as good as I was before this happened.

But I wanted to share something that has worked for me twice now so that hopefully I won’t forget the next time this happens…

Lessons Learned:
-A high cortisol symptom for me is mind and heart racing when lying down to sleep and the inability to fall asleep for an hour, plus.
-When I get stuck in a phase where I can’t sleep all the way through the night, if I increase my HC dose by 2.5mg for a day or two and then drop back down to the previous dose, it fixes the issue and I can sleep normally again.
