Hydrocortisone Reviews
Working / Worked
Started on 25 Mgs which significicantly reduced the fatigue and musclejoint pain. But I developed the flight or flight symptom and had to reduce to 15mgs which allowed me to function. After 3 months I am withdrawing from the medication and currently on 10mgs.

it was the first thing I tried- didn't work.

It helps with the itching!

It worked when I was younger as I grew up it didn't help as much. No side affects.
Working / Worked
Helps enough to use it regularly but only barely controls the itch on new patches. Helps not at all on older ones.

The best thing I've ever used. It's helped relieve the burning/itching sensations, and has helped clear up my skin, which once had red and pink patches.
