Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks ! I'm going to be home today so I'll give it a try on my next dose. I thought it might be like ibuprofen without food. That can be nasty, maybe because I go for high doses when I need it Pat > > > > I have just changed from isocort to Cortef and am working through the > > dosage adjustments. > > > > The instructions on my cortef prescription say to take with food, > > something that i didn't have to do with isocort.

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Pat I have found that even milk is a good substitute for food with HC, BUT you really need something in your stomach as it can be really rough on it otherwise. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV My Ebay Jewelry Store http://stores.ebay.com/valeriescrystalcreations http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I keep a zip lock bag of raw almonds in my purse and chew a few when I dose away from home. Have been scared to take it without as even supplements get me queazy. dudleystheone wrote: I have just changed from isocort to Cortef and am working through the dosage adjustments. The instructions on my cortef prescription say to take with food, something that i didn't have to do with isocort. I am not always near food at the time I need to dose. Has anyone been taking cortef without food? I always have water with me so that would be easy. Thanks for your help! Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hmmm, sounds like I may have to bring some food along with me when I go out. Maybe a bag of almonds would do. Milk is OK when I'm home, but I really hate cold milk in the morning. I guess this is an upside for isocort. Thanks for your help everyone Pat > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
