>Hi everyone, I was diagnosed back in December with partial adrenal insufficiency. I am currently stable on an oral hydrocortisone and daily fludrocortisone replacement schedule, and my baseline electrolytes are in great shape.
For some context: I completely gave up alcohol a few years ago because it made me feel ill. Long before my official diagnosis, I started drinking BRĒZ OG cans (which contain Lion’s Mane mushroom, a high ratio of hemp CBD, and a tiny micro-dose of 2.5 mg THC) as my go-to social alternative. My body always tolerated it beautifully.
My exact method is to drink it very slowly: I pour just half a can over ice and sip it over an hour to an hour and a half, then pour the other half and stretch the full can across a 3 to 4-hour evening block.
Now that I am diagnosed and on a daily steroid replacement schedule, I am planning to enjoy one of my cans tonight using this exact same multi-hour sipping method while taking my scheduled evening hydrocortisone dose right on time.
Has anyone in the community with secondary or partial AI continued to use these specific micro-dosed hemp adaptogen drinks after starting their steroid schedule? Did it impact your blood pressure, symptoms, or medication absorption at all once you were on hydrocortisone? I'd love to hear your personal experiences! Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m about to receive my original Mathmos Astros directly from the UK here in Texas, and I want to get my setup planned out.

My goal is to keep the original factory look with the proprietary 240V 35W Mathmos bulb, but I desperately want smart dimming control from my phone or Alexa so I can manage the heat throughout the evening without manually reaching behind my console cabinet.

For my smart home setups, I currently run a Lutron Caséta system (including the PD-3PCL-WH Plug-In Lamp Dimmer) and a full Philips Hue ecosystem for my standard room lighting. I also have a heavy-duty LiteFuze 300W step-down voltage transformer.

Before I plug anything in, I wanted to check if anyone here has successfully used a smart dimmer inline with a step-down transformer to control a 240V bulb on US power?

• Did you put your smart dimmer before the transformer (Wall ➔ Dimmer ➔ Transformer ➔ Lamp)? If so, did it cause the transformer to buzz, overheat, or choke out?
• Since the official Philips Hue smart plug is strictly On/Off, has anyone found a third-party Zigbee dimming plug that successfully pairs with the Hue Bridge to safely handle a transformer load? Or is the Lutron Caséta plug my only safe option here?
• Or did you have to find a specialty trailing-edge dimmer that sits on the 240V side after the transformer?

I know a lot of people just swap to a US 120V MR11 bulb (like the Prism 35W), but I really want to try and preserve that hyper-focused 9-degree factory beam angle if possible.

Appreciate any wiring blueprints, hardware recommendations, or warnings from anyone who has attempted this exact setup! Thanks!
