Carol,

I find your posts addictive now. You sound more like an endo than my child's endo!!!  

A question for you about stomping with the dex.  I have gathered that when people stomp with the HCT that they double the dose for 2 - 3 days, but often these doses are spread out throughout the day and I would not feel too bad about doubling say 5 mg HCT to 10mg.  However, with the dex the dose is given once a dayI believe and I just wondered how you stomp with that?  Doubling such would be quite  heavy wouldn't it?  Is there some way that you divide it?  I'm interested as we have an appointment at the end of the week with our endo and I will be asking Jared's doctor if we could possible make a switch to dexamethasone. 

It's just the issue of what is done in sickness or fever or stomping that that concerns me now. I just wondered how you move around these issues.
