Yesterday I had a knee ablation. Went well but I had to double my hydrocortisone to 40 mg for the day due to my adrenal insufficiency. My procedure was under light sedation which I in no way felt but the pain level with the needles and burning was minimal. However by the time the day ended I was ravenous with hunger and so hyper I was up an hour later than usual and eating ice cream at 9 PM. I am sure it was the result of the corticosteroid increase plus they injected prednisone into the knee area to assure pain relief over the next few days. If I had to be on any dose higher than my present, I would be certifiable. I never gained weight nor got a moon face from my dosage and in fact had trouble gaining and keeping on weight. But I finally got to sleep and no anxiety at least. I hope the butter dishes connection makes itself known to you. Hard to fathom where our brains search out these ideas from.

M.E.
