Re: So confused now, help!

You should be able to take up to 20 mg of cortisol (8 Isocorts) a day

for a week without becoming dependent (not that I'm suggesting that's

how much you *should* take). Up to that 1 week point, you can quit cold

turkey. After a week, you should taper off slowly. During that week,

you can see if it helps or not. I knew within a day the Cortef was

helping, but I don't know if it works that fast for everyone.

As far as how much to take, I'm as much in the dark as everyone else. I

also don't know about the alternate day thing. Anyone tried this?

Oh, and if you decide to crawl under a rock, watch out for

pharmaceutical companies slithering out from under it. :-)

So, I am guessing I should try the one day on, one day

off with Isocort so as not to become dependant, which

is what Trish suggested? Or would it be better if I

did a full week on then a full week off until the

inflammation and cracking go away?

I really feel like stopping everything, crawling under

a rock and crying. *sigh*
