  hi, I have to give myself solu-cortef 100 mg inj b4 stomach scope( which I find a lot) but that's what they suggest. My question is this? If I take shot 1 st thing in morning, my scope is scheduled at 730, do I still take Florinef b4 scope? And will I need afternoon dose of cortef too r will this cover me for the day? My dr told me ai don't know, maybe?? So if any one knows the answer to this I would greatly appreciate it, how long dose shot last? Thanks so much!!!!!

  Hi, I'm having a difficult time right now getting my fluid volume up. I'm retaining fluid but having chest pain, I went into pre crisis and bumped up my Florinef and Cortef the cortisol side of things got better but I'm still having chest pain from the fluid volume being low, the weird thing is I retain fluid from female horm imbalance and prob some from Cortef but it's not going in the right place. I'm on Florinef .1 mg every morning, my bp was 90/50 now it's around 100/58, I even got a liter...

  Hi, this will be my first time taking solu-Cortef shot( that large of amount) plus I will have to double my Cortef, ( currently take Cortef 35 mg daily) I'm scared to be honest, I've never taken this much b4, what's ur experience with having to take so much, plus doubling my dose, I'm scared it's going to make me feel bad and give me side effects, although I'm sure il need it. Thanks in advance for ur comments and support
