hydrocortisone vs prednisone

[Fixit]

does anyone have any thoughts.....

i just read somewhere, it might have been here...that someone's doc doesn't like pred and does hydro instead

 

is it safer...

less side effects long or short term....

or is that not enough for a pan/pit kid....

we have been trending better....there is this little bit i can't kick...but then there are these cluster of days that are bad enought to make me do a big gun....

maybe because we are going on 2 years with this episode and ds will turn 11 just before 2 year mark....

ah...but in hind site....november wasn't bad last year either..going into the colder months

 

i wanted to get this question out there...got to run

[Fixit]

i just wanted to add these 2 links...

 

it talks about not stopping steroids abruptly...but tapering them off(under drug interactions)....
