Can Isocort cause an allergic reaction?

[Guest guest]

I have been on Isocort since June 2009. I take it only in the morning (5), and

now also 2 at noon. My allergies have gotten WAY worse. I have to wear a mask

at work now, because I completely lose my voice and have a sore throat by the

end of the day if I don't. I used to only have the problem at work, but I'm

getting it at home now too. The mask helps some but not completely. I have an

air filter in my office.

I am in week 11 of T3, taking 100 mcg. My temps are still 97.8 all morning,

then maybe 98.0 or 98.2 the rest of the day. There are some weird fluctuations

in my temps sometimes, but I'm not consistent with the time of day that I take

them.

" Ingredients of Isocort are listed are as follows: All compounds wildcrafted or

organically grown. Freeze-Dried Adrenal Cortex (soluble fractionation) from New

Zealand Sheep. Echinacea Extract (trace amount). Prunus and Lomatium dissectum

root isolate (kreb concentrate-2%) in pellet base of lactose and lactase. "

(from STTM)

Could I be reacting to the extracts in Isocort? I am also lactose intolerant

and do have some issues with diarrhea sometimes in the morning. Is there enough

of this stuff in 7 to 9 pellets a day to cause this reaction?

If I switch to HC cream, how much should I use?

Thanks Val or Nick. I am at my wits end with this hoarseness!
