Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 No the Thyroid testing it is fine ot take ANY hormones with even thyroid. But wiht your adrenals weak I would not take thyroid until they are supported. These HIGH pred doses will FINISH your adrenals. 50MG pred equals 200MG HC! -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2007 Report Share Posted November 18, 2007 , I have been on the 5o mg. of Pred. for three days. Tommorow, will be my fourth day. Because I am on two medications for depression, I feel it is making my mood off. By afternoon I am numb or depressed. I take it real early so in the morning. I am not sleeping more than three hours e,ven prior to going to the ER. The week I had the cold even ,with taking a small does of sleeping medication I was awake after a couple hours. Prior to this, I was able to sleep with medication. I am definently on my way to getting help coming off medication and onto natural remidies, but do to my long use on them I have to be weaned of properly and make sure my cortisol is getting on better track and then see if my low thyroid levels out. I have HC if that would be a better way to wean down off the Pred. Thanks! a --------------------------------- Be a better pen pal. Text or chat with friends inside Yahoo! Mail. See how.

And I don't understand why they gave you THAT high a dose for a cold. I do nto feel comfortable tyring ot help you come off it for these reasons, and I think you should call your doctor and ask for a taper down schedule. Tell them the dose is bothering you and making you feel not right and you fear what will happen if oyu just stop it. You will have to be very adamant to get them ot TALK I imagine. I really feel this should be your course of action.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi , I spoke to my own doctor's nurse this afternoon and she asked the doctor and he said I should break the rest of the Pred. inhalf and take it that way. Now as you told me I have to be off any steroids for two weeks before I can take the tests ,the last one I take is tommorow so I have to pray that I do not get worse when I stop the Pred. Two weeks is a long time if I get sick again. They are out of the office ,I think, until next week. She told me to take my vitamin B-12 shots every four to five days. It is the ER staff that seemed somewhat incompetent. The ER doctor seemed to get what I was saying about having low adrenals so this is why he most likely put me in the Pred. because the bad cold was getting worse after a week , but that high of a level is not right. The cold for now is gone ,but as you are well aware of, Pred. and other steroids mask symptoms. Happy Birthday ! Thanks for yor concern!I feel VERY blessed I was able to leave the house Sa.t and today for a couple hours. That is amazing. Now if Ican stay stable until I get the blood work and salvia test done ,Ican then be put on the right medication. a (= --------------------------------- Never miss a thing. Make Yahoo your homepage.
