Very enlightening, thanks. I found your comment, "body needs different amounts of cortisol hour by hour" helpful, as I do find that at different times of the day I feel more energized than at others.
I do appreciate your feedback. Good luck on your journey.

There was no way my daily dose of Prednisone would ever duplicate this circadian rhythm.
