Re: Does supplementing with low dose hydrocortisone cause weight gain?


I can agree with you on this. I too am hypothyroid, Rt3.
I also am in recovery for adrenal exhaustion, stage 3. I also am on 10-15 mg. of natural sustained release hydrocortisone to help my hypogycemia and to help the T3 to get into the cells.

I have also gained 22 pounds the past year, do to high cortisol levels, chronic fatigue and having to eat continually for my hypoglycemia. The hypothyroid is a major issue in this too, with the weight gain.

I have not been able to exercise in a year. Can only do stretching and some light swim pool exercises. I can walk on our street only a short distance and a slow walk too.

Not like the old me, when I used to do lap swimming in an olympic size pool and power walk 1-2 miles several times a week and do some muscle resistant exercises at the gym.

I hope that time will come again, but even than, I know I will have to cut back, as to not sress my adrenals again.
