I have been craving salt, I have been taking naps, and I have been grouchy. It has been two weeks since my decrease from 30 to 20, and I called to inform my doctor that I would be moving myself back up to 25, and if she would like a blood sample, to let me know. I told her about the symptoms on the message.
She called this afternoon, and she told me to make it 30 instead of 25 of cortef, that she has worked far to hard to get me feeling like I did two weeks ago, and she wants me to feel great.
I already feel better.

Thanks for all your advice.

Great, KM. Glad you are feeling better. If taking more Cortef does the trick, then you were definitely insufficient. At some point, maybe you can wean down a bit slowly, but it sounds like you need 30 right now. Good for you for taking things into your own hands.

I am experimenting with 25 for the next two days. I lost three more pounds, and I don't want to screw that up. I am much better. If not 100% by Friday I will move up the rest of the way.

Glad to hear things are looking up. Are you also taking DHEA?
