Knew it would come. Been on famoditine since last year. On 18 mg of HC. Was recommended to take succlafate called the glass coating for gut. Can’t take a ppi had cdiff years ago.

Can’t get ahold of Endo, pcp in Europe and no one to cover. I have it, 2 yrs old. Does not ruin flora just take hour before your med. Probably end up on prednisone. Had a Cleveland clinic meeting for opinion. That was interesting.told totally different things.

On HC. Hate to ups and downs and for me it’s the high feeling. Not a good high. High Bp, on pain meds for years, take as needed and I do.

Yesterday I took HC but spaced them out a bit more since the weather was hitting me. However I had a lot of energy! Till 4 pm. Shaking and weak like normal. Last dose was 4 pm. But was Chipping my pain meds because in the heat in the morning I was finally working outside!!! It was heaven. But dinner was a nightmare .

Anyone switch from HC to prednisone?

Gained 30 lbs! Started HRT but can’t take the testosterone, feel awful. New gyno in July, king of hormone replacement

Just asking for help and knowledge. I know one can pack on pounds. Have osteoporosis taking almond milk,Greek yogurt , vitamin b12, D3 , K2.

If anyone switched from HC to Prednisone please advise. I hear it can give you pmt. Rats your hip and need surgery. Not a doc, we’re not docs. Hubs was on prednisone for 2 years, had hip replacement. I just t see being on HC for life. It’s destroyed it ready. Doc is no help. Thank you. Sorry it’s so long.

Raised Bp, chest discomfort and my heart is good, internal shaking. On Greenstone! 20 mg. When it’s time for a dose, body feels it take the pill go down hill quick. This stinks. Getting worse! This is no life!

On HC. Last blood test cortisol went from 13 to 8. Thyroid is ok.

How do we get this weight off? On 20-22.5 mg a day.

Yes low carb, low fat. Did leg lifts yesterday now groin is killing me.

Seeing Endo tomorrow, pcp today that runs more blood tests than Endo. Thank God I did not start thyroid med, in functional range. All “T’s”. exhausted today. At wits end. Crash at 6-8 pm.

Does anyone take HC by injection daily, don’t even know if it’s offered. Concerned about gut and liver.
