Hi Nicola,
Thanks for the reply.
I did ask the Dr. for Cortef but he could not find it in the 2007 Physicians Desk Reference which has all drugs listed. Why he could not is beyond me. i had remembered reading that 5mg of prednisolone was equal to 20mg hydrocortisone and that you were on pred so I suggested it and he said ok.
Upon reading further today on STTM web site it would be better to be on Cortef just as you said. Most of the people on that site are dosing four times a day.
I am amazed at the energy level you have regained in caring for a family and all sorts of events. I can barely take care of my house, husband and pets. I have extreme fatigue, weakness, and what I guess you would call the "poison symtoms" , just feeling so sick. I am hoping and praying for better days to come. I will let you know how I do on these meds.
Thanks for your input.
Patty
