MHi there, well I’m not sure that I can attribute everything to the Dex but since taking Dex my sex drive has taken a nose dive, thats enough to ruin any marriage. I thought it should get better on the low dose but it didn’t, I have had a rollercoaster weight since being on Dex and I practically have to be starving to lose weight. I was never big before starting Dex just thick (or big boned if I may :o) Also Cortef is closer to what our body naturally makes, I have even noticed that I can sweat a little more than I was. Whereas I felt the Dex was causing me to retain fluid, I just sweat on my lower back and scalp when working out. Now when I work out I can tell I’m sweating more. I know it sounds weird but it’s good to sweat. Get’s many of the impurities out of the body just like God intended.
I don’t want to discourage you from taking Dex, some people have done very well. Actually I guess considering all things, I have done well even with my super-mega doses from the beginning....it could have been worse. I guess like most meds there is a trade-off somewhere. For ex; here’s a med to help you sleep..but...it will make your poop blue...okay that’s acceptable, but more than likely it’s like here’s a med it will fix your problem but you will have all of these other things happening that you can’t control like the urge to bark or your knees will buckle out from under you at any given time (joking). Sometimes you accept the trade-off cause there is no other way and sometimes you change your meds to see there are less trade-offs.
I have been taking the Cortef 3 times a day just like my daughter, and we do dose our first dose at 3am. So far so good. Oh, and I think it’s good that we both take the same medicine, could come in handy in the future.
Anyway there ya go, I probably missed something. LOL, TTYL
