[QUOTE="Anonymon, post: 225523, member: 42608"] In my case that’s not what’s going on at all. I have Fludrocortisone (Florinef) and it actually massively dehydrates me and makes things worse, especially if I have anything with potassium in it. If I drink potassium drinks I straight up cramp on the spot. Be nice if having more sodium helped but it doesn’t do anything in that context for me. There’s a lot more made in the adrenal glands than you’re probably aware of, including epinephrine. That’s one of the reasons they have the cortex extract vs the whole glandular, since most people want to avoid things like epinephrine. I’ve done pretty extensive replacement over periods of time with hydrocortisone, cortisone acetate, and fludrocortisone, as well as adrenal cortex extracts and other things. It’s not the cortisol in there I’m responding to. Or aldosterone. Horm did the hormone dance for a bit and then realized he was just burnt out from college after trying an MAO inhibitor, then eventually tried Wellbutrin and instead tried doing things to counter a cut he did years ago and came off everything. Cortisone Acetate is better than hydrocortisone at seemingly all things and it’d be nice if they prescribed it more for people with Addison’s. [/QUOTE]
