Isocort vs Medrol vs Hydrocortisone

[Sonny]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if we have anyone here who has tried all 3 of these medications.

I was originally put on Hydrocortisone for adrenal fatigue and to help with adrenal support while taking Armour Thyroid. I got off of it because it caused a substantial rise in blood pressure. Plus, the 3 times per day dosing was a hassle.

I've been on and off fof Medrol for ~9 months now (mostly on). Lately, I just cannot seem to tolerate it. Every time I take it (even just a little bit...1/4 of a tab), I feel like hell! My heart constantly feels like it is pounding and if I do anything that requires even mild physical exertion, my heart rate goes up and seems to stay there.

I'd like to get off of steroid-based adrenal support altogether, but I do believe that I still need it if I continue to take Armour.
