Thanks for the detailed message. Yes, my cortisol is low and I have tried adrenal extract to little or no avail. I tolerated it well enough but it just didn't have much effect. I don't tend to do well with herbs so I haven't tried any of the ones you've mentioned yet (other than Siberian Ginseng which I couldn't tolerate). I guess Isocort is a rational next step. My holistic doctor prescribed it for me so I'll start taking it soon. If this doesn't work out then the next step is the pure hydrocortisone instead of, or in addition to, some of the Isocort.
I'm really hoping this and/or the hydrocortisone can give me some energy back. I'm so tired of feeling tired and lethargic for most of the day. My doctor also added a small amount of HRT and DHEA, which I'll add in later. One thing at a time so I can tell what's working and what isn't.
