Drugs are bad mmkay
So here are the meds I've tried, have been on or currently am still on to "fix" my Cushing's and symptoms associated with it.
- Typical over the counter stuff for headaches e.g. Paracetamol and Ibuprofen
- Anti-depressants for off-label use as sleeping aids
- Melatonin for sleep
- Antacids
- Lansoprazole for stomach acidity
- Enalipril for high blood pressure
- Some diuretic to help make the BP med more effective
- Hydrocortisone (cortisol replacement)
- Dexamethasone for cortisol testing
- Tetralysal for acne
- Benadryl (which is suppose to be for hayfever) off-label use for headaches
I also tried some "natural" remedies such as Flowers by Bach for stress relief and Chromium Picolinate to reduce appetite.
The list actually isn't that bad but I just hate the fact that for the last few years I've had to take pills every day. But I shouldn't complain too much. If I end up having to have a BLA I will need to take more than 1 pill every day!
Come back tomorrow to find out what a BLA is and why I might need one.
