Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 With aldosterone deficiency, excessive thirst can happen, but not in every case. With the salt depletion, water is also depleted through sweating and urination, and is blood volume goes down while blood pressure can go up, trying to make up the blood loss. I've noticed that in summer I see more people complain of excessive thirst and some who take florinef, will lower the dose by as much as half during the winter months. In true 's, Isocort should not be entertained as a treatment, but it might keep them from dying, but probably just barely. If an 's patient is near death from adrenal or 's crisis, solumedrol or sometimes solucortef is given intravenously. Saline is also given. This is all if the docs know what to do, but I've seen many stories where they didn't do the proper treatment (even when relatives would tell the docs what the proper treatment is) or not believe the med-alert bracelet and the patient died. For every 100 people who say they have 's, maybe one actually does have it, the rest actually have adrenal insufficiency.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I was just reading this about saline being given.Yet doctor's will tell us with high BP to go off ALL salt...if I had listened I would be dead with adrenal failure.I came close anyhow before I did CC test and found my problem. I have a friend who's mother was on prednisone ..had been on it for quite a while.She had to go to hospital and doctor there refused to give to her.She died of course.Amazing how stupid some docs. are.That is the same as murder to withhold medicine and it kills you. Always try to make sure someone can bring you your medicine.Safer that way. Now..I wonder...if I start my daughter on Isocort does she have to work her way up on it slowly and work her way off like we do with HC? Same protocol?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I was in the hospital for a week in September - when they asked what I was taking, I lied! I told them 180 mg of Armour (they don't understand grains LOL - I was really taking 4 grains) and didn't mention the HC at all. They gave me the choice of bringing my Armour from home to take or taking their Synthroid! Well, you know what I chose, don't you? I already had my meds with me, so I was all set!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Good advice, . Last night my hubby and I had to go to a function. I don't usually bring a purse and just carry my driver's license and lipstick . But I thought about it and put my little pill box in with my DL and LS. Should have put my hubby's inhaler in with it though. Some woman was doused in a gallon of powdering smelling perfume and his lungs seized up faster than you can say carcinogen! Live and learn!
