The problem is, as good as the plan is, in practice it is kind of sucking. I don't think the endo believes I can taper with 2x a day dosing, I think it's still likely to suppress me, at least those are the words I'm putting in the endo's mouth. Who knows what they actually think?<br /><br />Penelope: Yes it has been kind of miserable. Thanks for the well wishes.<br /><br />MMedical Mojavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14445140579589340514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123453264169963762.post-1008118002269333322010-12-18T04:19:23.421-08:002010-12-18T04:19:23.421-08:00This is nuts.

High is better than low, unless it's crazy high. At least for a bit, and figure out where you stand. Sure, it might still swing, but hopefully the low wouldn't be as low.<br /><br />Just WHY is this hydrocortisone dosed at once per day? Seems odd to me, it's always been twice. The afternoon dose gets dropped once the adrenals start working, as part of the taper.<br /><br />Tracy2 <br /><br />(same Tracy as before, thought I should get consistant with other blogs, and there's another Tracy also)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6123453264169963762.post-73006373589551042472010-12-17T20:47:03.756-08:002010-12-17T20:47:03.756-08:00Sounds absolutely miserable :(
