Those who use hc for adrenal dysfunction or maybe just stress dosing, do u find increasing hc dose slightly helps for a few days when hit by a cold or flu?

I improve with just about any condition with a short dose of oral cortisone. I feel better, breath better, reduce inflammation, reduction in pain, and have more energy. I never have any side effects with a short term dosage. If cortisone didn't cause any long term side effects, I would take it daily. I've only used hydrocortisone as a cream for skin rashes.Those who use hc for adrenal dysfunction or maybe just stress dosing, do u find increasing hc dose slightly helps for a few days when hit by a cold or flu?
@minkeygirlI found a site for DIY fecal transplants. Now that's Ew!
Doing my bit to spread awareness about topical steroids(steroid creams) here: please look up topical steroid addiction/red skin syndrome, ITSAN.I improve with just about any condition with a short dose of oral cortisone.

Hi @heapsreal ;
Yes, increasing HC with any sort of suspected infection helps, or rather, prevents worsening of symptoms and infection.
As you know, cortisol, in healthies, is supposed to increase with any sort of infection.
My pituitary hardly produces ACTH, thus, no cortisol. ( I may never learn of the origin, but I'm pretty sure it was from infections translocating from oral and sinus areas. Can only guess. Father had AI symptoms, many infections, many high doses of HC.)
In the past, I was able to only increase HC to battle most infections, but now, I'm having to add abx. Herbals used to help. Sometimes, I combine herbals with abx.
Hot mess, no fever.
