That was a really good link...and guess what maca was on there if you didnt see it..hehe...wow though I wonder if anyone realizes how important the adrenals are..I read about them when I was on this similar regimen to help my immune disorder and it work then but the key to anything not coming back stay with the regimen for the rest of you life and dont go back to the bad habits..(well I have even dropped my one..cigs but hey in time)

Oh Susan,

The first link you posted says no bananas and absolutely no caffeine. But I don't think you'll have to go that far. Your symptoms are just signs of low cortisol. What worked for me starts in this post:

Two days off hops helped. That would be PM in your program. Adding FG made it better too, and adding maca stopped it.

If you have a rash, use it: if you increase cortisol, the rash will heal. You have enough cortisol when the rash is just under control.

I read it again and according to the symptoms I have high cortisol levels..so do you still recommend stopping PM..and according to what helps is DHEA and maca does this..correct? I have not rashes..actually my rash around my mouth is totaly gone..well til next time..and I heal really fast..

here are the symptoms and I will put an * next to the ones I have but are getting better..

Symptoms of elevated cortisol

Fatigue/ decreased energy *no too fatiqued more anious now (like ADD)
Impaired memory *comes and goes
Insomnia *hard time falling asleep sometimes
Anxiety *now I have some aniexty
Crying
Impaired concentration *is this the same as foggy..getting better
Restlessness *now I am this earlier no, is this the same as anxiet
Feelings of Hopelessness

Yes, maca increases DHEA, and DHEA helps adrenal fatigue.

If the rash is totally gone now, you are right: cortisol must be too high now. How fast did it happen?

OK..you asked the right question at the right time..I found a really good link you should read the whole thing when you have time or skim it..he explains how starting herbs are just like meds ..start slow and your body will go through changes..so I am thinking it is only 13 days taking maca..my body is still adjusting..plus I probably upped it too fast..ghee I am good for that so I put my body in a overload..my rash started improving on the regimen..PM was helping but when adding maca my skin is even better..yes still getting some chin break outs and hairs (but not do worried about that I think my body is still adjusting) ...as for break outs body could be detoxing still which from what this link says your body detoxes when making changes..
