UPDATE on HC Relapse

[Aahhh Problems]

Well, after all the probs I was experiencing while on HC (dizziness, racing heart, hot sweats, severe muscle weakness and nausea to name a few) my doc has took me off it. We're not sure why my body reacted so badly to it and considered changing to Predisone for a minute, but he figures it's best not as predisone is stronger.
We talked for quite some time on the options to help my adrenals and we decided to try a more natural way, he gave me some "Adaptogen" which helps support immune system and Adrenal systems.
I'm also going on a small dose of thyroid meds, not sure which one yet, but I think T3.

Be careful if your new adrenal support has licorice root in it. Not everyone can handle it and some end up with racing pulse and increased BP. Just something to watch out for.

It's got a lot of roots in it, but it doesn't say Licorice? Is there another name for it?

The other name would be Glycyrrhiza glabra.
