What Causes Back Pain, Headaches And Tiredness After Weaning Off Cortisone?
I have been on different amounts of cortisone since march this year. First for bronchitis, then a rash, which cleared and the for another rash. I have now been weaned off and haven t had any for 4 days. I have been experiencing back ache, headaches, tiredness and irritability. Is this from not being on the cortisone and how long will it be before I start losing the weight and start feeling normal again

HI
Well come to HCM,
I really appreciate your concern, such hormone therapy may not be good for health if taken for long time no matter what type of cortisone you are taking but it may not be taken longer than enough, hope this helps take care and have a nice day
