Three cheers for hydrocortisone throughout the day! is standing with you and applauding other people posted and were happy about it but from me it’s sarcasm? That’s OK,  I understand.

Yes, cortisone may have something to do with behavior at times and I thought your post was supper. Cortisone off one way or another is a factor in things and also cortisone being right on the money is still a small factor in things hence my sharing of coping skills for Cathy’s son. People without CAH have some moods also :  ) We are allowed to have some moods too and will have a nervous break down : P if you have to be a perfect robot 24/7   it ain’t going to happen : ) and that prior sentence wasn’t directed to anyone in general.

 

I don’t have a pump but the next best thing is taking it three different times and told her my dosing.  In my other posts to Cathy I described how the experts had me on prednisone  strong stuff anywhere from 7.5 mgs to 20mgs/ twice a day.

I wrote that I can’t change the past in how I was dosed but the hydro throughout the day works so much better in  self administration or pump form and was wondering if Cathy’s son might have that same issue. You offered wonderful support about that and three cheers was my idea of support ....I’ll add whistling also because I am sick of us just being used for gender studies as some of us struggle with work related issues that may be related to the dosing or it also may be something unrelated to the dosing.

It’s about flippin time we have stuff like your son’s pump. Depression or even more specific a certain apathy about things and that conflicts with career goals in stiffing what someone can do unless it is addressed again cortisone related or not heck might be a thyroid problem there also.

 

Yesterday, a hour before my cancer check-up I made sure that I took the 5mg of Hydro and that visit went well unlike the prior visit where I had a small melt down on the guy because I hadn’t eaten and didn’t have the cortisone in my system to help because I forgot to take enough with me But when the doctor looked me straight in the eye speaking to me in a composed voice and telling me that he couldn’t have me acting like that, I was able to compose myself in less than a second with no hydrocortisone. This was much better than the doctors or nurses that would go ohh you weepy poor thing and give me a smile.

 

I have this condition also and anything that is out there that makes it better for us makes me a happy camper. Hip hip hooray and three cheers for CAH that there are things like pumps out there now. I know a girl in law school that has a pump for diabetes and I thought that was the coolest thing--it looks like a tiny cell phone clipped to her shorts. When I saw your story about the pump I thought of someone with SWCAH that would benefit from having one.
