Hi lethal, thanks for all the help. I have no idea why I was dosing prednisone so close together. I am now on HC 10, 7.5, 7.5, 2.5 2.5. But I am still having problems. I started back the salt 1/4 taspoon 2x daily. I am having a flushing hot red fce, facial pressure, numbness in face and arms, and horrible anxiety around the time I dose. Is is it low cortisol or high. I am also having headaches and insomnia with anxiety and an exaggerated startle reflex. My phone rang after I had fallen alseep and I woke up so startled it was like my house was on fire. My heart was pounding and I could feel it everywhere. I wanted to run around! WHat gives?> Please help...Pin

I am having a flushing hot red fce, facial pressure, numbness in face and arms, and horrible anxiety around the time I dose.Is is it low cortisol or high. When you are dosing what? With each HC or each Florinef dose? Anxiety sounds like Adrenaline surges. Are you having your HC with food? Are you eating regular frequent meals? Low blood sugar can cause Adrenaline surges. Numbness can be M, B12, Potassium levels too. Are they optimal?
I am also having headaches and insomnia with anxiety and an exaggerated startle reflex. My phone rang after I had fallen alseep and I woke up so startled it was like my house was on fire. My heart was pounding and I could feel it everywhere. I wanted to run around! What gives? The usual culprits are low blood sugar, low Aldosterone (lowest at night) or low Cortisol.
Ensure you have a good snack with carbs & protein before bed. Do you take the last HC dose at bedtime? Keep Salted water a small stress dose of HC & a snack by the bedside. If you wake try these & see which one if any helps.
