Re: VAL -- More tired on Cortef?

[Guest guest]

This is pretty common as it lowers the adrenaline you have been running

on. Are your temps stable where you can increase thyroid at all? This

will help.

Hi Val,

The scariest thing, apart from the extreme loss of energy, is that I'm now

having endless

burning pain in my lower ribs and heart. I don't know what this is, and I can't

find

anything that makes it go away for long. It sounds like acid indigestion or

reflux or

something, but it's just really a nightmare. Taking Cortef with yogurt hasn't

solved the

problem after all. I don't feel I can continue this until I solve the problem.

Have you heard

this before? Should I try the cream? If so, exactly what brand? What is it

called? Is it an

over the counter thing?

I haven't started thyroid yet. My temps for the last week -- 98.13, 98.03,

98.33, 98.2,

98.13, 98.1, 98.2. Is this considered pretty stable?

Thanks again,

Violet

You could try the cream it is just 1% Hydrocortisone cream available OTC

in any drugstore. 1/4 tsp equals 10MG. You could also try takign baking

soda in water when that pain is bad. If it is excess acid from the HC

that will help it almost immediately. I put abotu 1/2-3/4 tsp in about 4

oz water and gulp it down.

Violet,

I had the same thing about a year and a half ago. I was given an EKG,

a heart stress test and also had heart imaging. Nothing found. All the

pain was due to my pain medication (feldene/piroxicam) which is one of

the absolute worst for causing stomach problems. The wonder is that I

took it daily for so long before the problems surfaced, since I have a

history of GI problems and stomach pain.

Anyway, that is why I elected to stay with the HC cream and only

rarely use the pill form. The cream just says " hydrocortisone cream, 1%.

Currently using the walmart Equate brand which is the best of the two

I've tried. The other I've used is Kroger brand, it is not as nice a

texture and doesn't absorb as well for me.

Thank you Sol! This stuff is so difficult and scary. I have not had every

heart test, but I've

had many. To my way of thinking, it just figures that you were given pain

medications

that were giving you pain! Thank you for telling me what brand of

hydrocortisone cream

works well for you. It's so hard to figure all of this out!

It is very scary. I was convinced I was having heart attacks. And scary

too because those tests got me sent to a cardiologist who wanted to do

more tests (even though he said my heart was normal) and wanted to put

me on statins. Luckily I knew better than to allow either.
