Hi there,
If I were you, I would find a doctor who knows what they are doing. Then, I would discuss making a switch from HC to medrol or prednisalone. This may help stabilize things and will also reduce MC load. You'd have to slowly decrease potassium supps as well... being very careful not to confuse high and low potassium because they have very similar syptoms. Keeping a journal can help you find the little differences between them. For instance, for me, high potassium results in the squirts and low potassium results in constipation. Getting S&P tested will also help... though not always, thyroid, cortisol and growth hormone imbalances can all distort things. I am not sure if you take your medication as usual when labs are drawn, but you must do so to get a true idea of what is going on.
You are taking 1 3/4 tab florinef + 30mg HC, so in most, that would equate to around 2 1/2 tabs florinef. Potassium tends to go too low when once going beyond 1 tab (0.1mg), especially if you are consuming a lot of salt as well. You most certainly would need potassium on this dose, but I can't give you quantities.
I hope this helps somewhat
