Hello all!

Has anyone had more pain after starting cortisol? I know it is suppose to cause less pain but was wondering if it can cause more in some people. It is the only thing that changed in my regime and the pain stated about 2 days after I started it. Maybe just a coincidence but just wondered. Thanks to all

Foggy,
I am taking cortef. Which is part of Dr. C's hormone regime. It is an all natural thing. Not a manufactured steroid but something your body makes naturally. I was just wondering if any of Dr.C's other patients has any experience with it like this. I think now I just may be having a herx like I have never had before. Who knows. Thanks Mule

Hello,

I'm also taking that and can't say my pain is any worse.

Have you called his office and asked them about this?

Yes, it could be a herx. I had the flu last week and my neuro symptoms were a whole lot worse.

I took it briefly and noticed it increased my fatigue a bit. No real symptom relief from it.

I've been on it for at least 2 yrs. I have less pain, for sure.

I would definitely call his office though.

Maybe it's the 4-week cycle of herxing>
