Hi

Thanks very much . I marvel at your ability to handle all this.

I've done that today with the salt and don't feel as dizzy but I'm

sitting almost all the time. I have to say though in my case the

dizziness seems to happen not too long after I take HC so the low

cortisol explanation doesn't seem to fit..it actually feels so awful

the last few days that I am in no hurry to take the HC coz of this

side effect. I am taking it but fearing it as the dose time comes

nearer..I used to only get the dizziness in the evening (after 6) but

in the last few days I'm getting it earlier and earlier.

Were you ever on deltacortril? I was on it till Xmas day, came off it

coz my stomach was really bothering me, went on HC, tummy still bad

so moved to cream. I'm wondering now if it had nothing to do with the

deltacortril. When I was on it (about 7 weeks) I was able to sleep

thru the nite without waking. Now I'm awake every 2 hours or so and

only sleeping about 6 hours so I'm v fatigued. Just after Xmas a

local gp prescribed an antibiotic and anti spasm tablets..'spasmanol'

(pharmacist said its prescribed for IBS alot..I never had this issue)

saying he thought I had an infection, it seems to have cleared up the

problem..though its only day 3 since I finished the pills. Still

nervous it will come back. Anyway, do you know what is the

problem/danger with taking deltacortril instead of HC? I guess

because it covers you all night that's why I wasn't having the sleep

problem.

I haven't been out of my pjs since Monday evening, was getting a

little walk in for several days before that so I guess I have to say

I've disimproved since then..feeling quite nervous alot of the time,

like ai'm hung over and just waiting for the next horrible symptom to

hit. I chipped my tooth on a horrible Mcdonalds on New year's eve..no

food in the house and no decent place open..we were to go to my Mum's

for couple days but abandoned it as I got too stressed. I upped HC

cream to 32.5 yesterday. Average temp dipped from 98. something for 3

days running to 98 yesterday and today it's looking that way aswell.

I seem to be developing dark rings/lines under my eyes. Do you have

any suggestions for me?

Had to share this, hope you don't mind
