Hi there and thank you for your input. I do have Addison's Disease and have been treated with low dose prednisone since 2008. We just thought switching it up might prove beneficial perhaps ? But I have been going through a lot of issues lately and my latest ER visit was because of the swelling and possible minor congestive heart failure.. I need some more testing before that is conclusive. My new endocrinologist calculated what the conversion doses should have been (morning & afternoon) ... but things just didn't work out and as I have said since going back to the prednisone the swelling has gone down quite a bit. I have a truck load of conditions so you never know for sure which one is the culprit .. this can be exhausting and testing along with biopsies take a long time ... I could be pushing up daisies before it is resolved ? LOL
