From what all the better doctors that USE HC have said it is onyl wiht

PROLONGED high steroid sdoses that cause adrenal supression that doew

snot come righ back as soon as it is stopped. I believe this as I have

been on 30-60 MG for three years and my adrneals are nto supressed.

Val,

How do you know they are not suppressed? Have you had an ACTH stim test?

Thanks Val,

What do you think my next move should be? Should I try going off of

Thyroid or add more in? Do you think I should start lowering my HC and

see if I can get a stable temp at a lower dose? Really grasping at

straws here.

NO problem Val,

Here is a copy of the post:

Unfortunately, no matter how I look at it, they are all over the

place. Varying up to a whole degree. Even more variation is seen if I

include the days when I was running a fever. I have been charting now

since the beginning of November. I am at 30mg of HC but have been as

high as 35mg and though I might see 2 or 3 days where the temps are

stable, they don't stay there. I am hesitant to go any higher with the

HC as I am of slight build. I am 5'7 " and weigh 127lbs (down 10lbs

since starting HC but that could be because I am not bed bound as much)

I don't know where to go from here. I had that big emotional stress on

New Year's that really set me back. I am better, but still

significantly fatigued from it. I reached 30HC at beginning of Dec and

with the infection I had I stress dosed several days. One day I had

as much as 52mg. Then I backed down to 35mg and stayed there for over

2 weeks. Now I am afraid that I have been taking too much and that the

reason I am not bouncing back is that I shut my adrenals down by

taking higher than my physiological dose for too long. I have been

checking my glucose periodically 1st thing in the AM and it is between

83 to 104 (only 2 over 100) with the average being 94. My BP is low -

100/67 pulse 90 sitting and 94/77 pulse 106 standing.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

OK have you had Aldosterone tested? This could be part of why the temps

are not stabilizing. If thta tests out OK then I would raise HC more, or

go to more cream or even both as it may absorb better.

I did have one Aldosterone test but I think the results were invalid

because I did not salt fast prior to it and I also had an infection. I

am going to do a 24 hour urine Aldosterone test tomorrow. Is that a

good test? or do you think the blood test is better?

Thanks Val,

I'll see what comes back and go from there. I think I am going to make

an appt with my gp who seems open and ask for a retest of the blood

aldosterone along with Ferritin and some other things.
