Thanks. I'm still having to eat the salt. But the fludrocortisone is a salt steriod that will help me retain more. I'm hoping that I'm one of those who can go off them after a little while and not one who has to stay on them. She said it could go either way. I HATE steriods, but it's better to start this one while trying to build the other stuff up before I go without it. I'm mostly worried about it decreasing my bone mass. I am prone to and have had osteopenia(worked my way up to a low normal with loads of calcium recently). At least I know I'm not nuts when I bend over and about pass out or when I lay down and feel like my throat is closing up.
