    I am going to borrow this from one of our members. She hadn't slept for 2 years. To make a long story short, she found out that using Predisone instead of Cortef worked for her. It is stronger and from what I understand, longer lasting.....
    She is post op for 2 years.
     
    Hello All,
    Great news, I started taking a Prednisone at night before I go to bed, and wonder of wonders its working. I have slept, although I wake up a couple of times at night, for the last 4 nights. I had tried the Cortef before bed, as Dr. F suggested and it didn't work, but the Prednisone does. I guess with it being stronger, it does the trick. I am soo glad. It feels so much better to be able to sleep and feel like I have slept the next morning. Maybe this will help any body else who has the same problem. "removed for privacy"

    Borrowed from another poster...Article from Dr F on Iron
     
     
    "My endo, Dr F., puts his patients on an OTC product called, Iron Sorb. I have zero GI symptoms.!!!!
     
    Initially my ferritin was at 10 and is now reliably at 70-80. That's the level you want to keep it at.
     
    Here's the white paper he's written for his patients and docs to read. It will give you specific instructions on how many iron sorb pills to take a day depending on your current ferritin level. Also a link to the product and how frequently you should retest your level. It makes a huge difference when it gets to the right range!!!"

    Waiting...

    By LilDickens,

    Wow, can't believe how impatient I feel...It's so very hard when I am waiting on Dr Mc to reply back to Dr Holmes about my recent MRI. It just seems like I am getting sicker everyday. I am getting depressed! My hands are so full of troubles right now, mom living with us with Alz, my hubby broke his thumb and home for 6 weeks now, and so on. Cushings Help gives me so much hope and helps me to stay on track.
