Re: How long has everyone been on Cortef or HC of some sort??

[Guest guest]

I started taking cortef almost 5 months ago. I took 15 mg for the

first couple months, then went to 20mg and have stayed there. I had

no side effects at all other than feeling better than I ever have in

my life as far as ability to handle stress, being patient with my

daughter, able to laugh and just relax like a normal person, not

being fatigued constantly! For me it's been a life saver. I'm about

to start on armour for hypothyroid after my iron/ferritin levels come

up. I expect I may need to take both for quite awhile...i also just

found out that i'm celiac and also casein sensitive so once I get

those food sensitivities under control..maybe the adrenal/thyroid

issues will heal somewhat to where I can go off some of the

meds...we'll see!

Have you started on HC yet? Hope it goes well for you!

Not yet, I'm trying to come to terms that I might have to be on

ANOTHER drug for the rest of my life.

Just seeing everyones experiences.
