So I was just prescribed a "test" for 2 weeks using hydrocortisone (Cortef). 5mg immediately when I wake, 5mg more if I don't feel effect. Then mid-day another 5mg, and an additional 5mg if I feel no effect.
This stemmed from symptoms plus a saliva cortisol test that went morning-average, lunch-low normal, dinner-low normal, bedtime-high.
Prednisone has always made me go a little jittery and gain weight, butI understand this is much less strong than hydrocortisone. Anybody care to share their experiences using this? What am I in for?
