DON'T STOP TAKING THE MEDS!!! Besides the fact that, yes, you will get facial hair, more muscular, and mess up your periods, you'd also get in deep scat the next time you get sick. I asked my endo last summer what would happen if I stopped taking my meds (just out of curiousity, it really doesn't bother me). He told me the story of a former patient of his. She was a runner, and decided to stop taking her meds so she could get more muscular and run faster. She did get faster and was happy with her performance....until she got sick and wound up in the hospital. Like you, I have a mild form. Even with this mild form, I need more cortisone when I get sick. I can often see the improvement almost immediately if I take an extra dose when ill. Please, please, don't stop taking the dex. Yeah, it is a pain, but it takes all of ten seconds out of your day and then you can forget about it.
