Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I am not convinced that Medrol is better than HC. What doses of HC have you tried and did you get thyroid optimal while on it? Usually unless oyu went really high in coritosl the fluid retention is from hypo. And if oyu went high in cortiosl oyu do nto need a stronger steroid. I ended up getting fluid retention on Medrol when I tried it too. I also never found a way to dose it that felt good. It is next to impossible to have a normal cortisol rythm with Medrol. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I am on medrol and have experienced no water retention and don't feel any different but better then when i was on HC. I do feel people who metabolize HC to fast do do better on a longer acting steroid. I hope this helps........ ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 --- . What doses of HC have you tried and did you get thyroid optimal while on it? I was up to 35 mgs with no optimizing. I cant seem to optimize at all. I moon faced and gained about 20lbs. I lowered my dose and my weight went back down 10 lbs. Maybe its menopause. I see I didnt recieve my results from my blood work in Oct. Im going to see if I can get them on Thursday.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Have you tried HC cream? Some folks that have troubelk with oral HC not working properly for them are finding the cream works even better. But it sounds liek you missed th eoptimal dose of HC and went too high. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
