Hey Lee, Thanks. I guess I'm kinda thinkin along the same lines as you with the HC/Medrol. I'm getting anxious to drop some of the HC, as it feels like my Thyroid just can't keep up. Stiff and achey. Been pretty busy around here. Company and cooking. Wanting to get the house in order for Christmas. My brain tells me I need to make lists to get things done, I can do it. My body says are you crazy, no way. Seems with the added Medrol I'm not reaching for a ciggy as much or any sugar for that matter either these days. That was a biggy for me. Not too much interested for the last couple of days. Feel alittle woozy yet sometimes. Not as bad as before tho. I'm trying to not get to far ahead of myself as far as the Florinef/salt and potassium go. Just when I think there's a new plan something else seems to go haywire. Hopefully it's gonna be smoother from here on out. Thanks for keeping tabs on me! You're a godsend! Hope all is well Check back soon Deb

Hey whitbywitchuk or Dawnx, I used to tell everyone the only way they would get the ciggys from me was by prying them out of my cold dead hands. I really needed them. I went from 2 packs a day to now about a pack. They aren't as satisfying sometimes as they once were. I still have some of the old habits yet, after eating, stressful times and those stressful people you just can't seem to get away from, but it seems to be getting better. Slowly feeling better these days. Greatly due to Lee, Chris, Val, and DebSu help. Feel like I've been at this forever. I'm not good at the hurry up and wait (need results NOW rather than later) got stuff to do. I'm still learning to slow down, but it's getting easier to do. Thanks for the encouragement and I hope the same for you. Feel better soon! Deb

Hey Lee, Was waiting to see how things would go to check in. Seems as per usual there's a bump in the road again I added the 1mg Medrol 9PM on Nov.25. I left everything else the same. On Nov. 30 I dropped 5mg HC. Today will be Day 4 at 15HC and 3mg Medrol. I'm starting to have the same symptoms I had before when I needed to drop some Florinef. I'm currently taking 1 1/4 Tab with 2 1/4 tsp salt daily. I just got up from the computer and walked downstairs to my B/P machine. 144/93 HR 79. Dizzy and nauseated! Time to drop more Florinef and Potassium? Im feeling like passing out again too! Do you suppose this will happen every time I drop some of the HC? I feel better when adding the Medrol, but by day 4 or 5 I can feel like it's too much and I can't wait to drop some HC. Then this happens. What the H!!!! How weird am I? Or is this normal? I'll check back soon. I'm sure it will be a long night here! Thanks Deb

Hi Deb,
Just saw your post.
Sorry you're feeling bad. What time is it there now?
What is happening have you thrown up or just feeling nauseated? Anything else? Headache? Weakness? Sore throat, cough?
Your BP is up & down some. Your HR doesnt look too bad though. Have you tried Sea Salt in water? What about some dry toast? Something sweet maybe its LOW blood sugar?
Have you checked temp? Is it elevated at all?
