Is anyone taking Cortef? and if so have you found any improvement?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I had some difficult symptoms of immune hyperactivation, along with immune suppression (?). I believe I've heard it's an natural killer cell thing many ME/CFS patients have.
My ME/CFS doc prescribed Cortef, which did cut down some on the "reacting to everything". Not a huge improvement, but helpful. When a different ME/CFS doc prescribed Valcyte, he discontinued the Cortef. The hyper-reactivity hasn't returned.
Dunno if that helps any, but that's my experience.
Hi Everyone,
I use a low dose of Cortef to good effect on both my energy and immune system. This whole subject has been gone into at great length earlier on. Maybe if you search in the old threads and posts under "cortisol", you will find those very extensive discussions. I don't want to repeat myself another time, so I will leave it at that--
