does anyone have muscle pain still while on tx

by oliviamarie12345, Oct 20, 2009 01:27PM
I still have some of the symptoms. I have improved, but lately my muscle pain has come back in my shoulder/neck/head area. I did realize I was not absorbing the prednisone I was taking for about a week b/c I was taking marshmallow root and that effects the absorption (stupid me). So I stopped taking that a couple days ago. Anyways, I was doing well for a while. Any suggestions?

P.S. I did switch to cortef for a short time but I had a severe reaction and started throwing up nonstop, etc, so I am back on prednisone.

Thank You

I take Cortef 25mg / day, 15mg morning, 5mg noon, 5mg 5pm.  If I get stressed or do workouts without taking extra cortisone (remember, the adrenals are supposed to double the output under stress), then I get terrible muscle fatigue and the symptoms get very strong.  An adrenal crisis, even small ones are terrible, and they always start with muscular issues.
