Cheers, thanks for your supporting words!
I too am very interested in Glucocorticoids - the reason I veered away from them is because it seems that you just cannot have variability - I mean people talk about being low in cortisol or high etc, but if that happens to any great extent you become really, physically sick (cushings, addisons etc) and they can easily test for it, not to mention all the other signs that show up.
Small fluctuations are normal though, and we all have these. It was once I realised that prostaglandins are one of the few pervasive compounds in the body that can fluctuate wildly without causing obvious "disease" (other than non specific inflammation reactions, that I thought - hey here's something really interesting.
Interestingly prostaglandins actually control to some extent the fluctuations in daily cortisol response - the link between the immune system , the hormonal system and the nervous.
I hope you do find time to research prostaglandins - i think you'll find it really interesting.
Cheers
