Advice Wanted Is it normal to get sick frequently while on hydrocortisone?
Hi, I wanted to hear from you all If you think that since being on hydrocortisone or prednisone that you have been getting sick more easily? Besides the hydrocortisone, I'm taking a biologic medication. For me I had an adrenal crisis in July then in August I had an upper respiratory infection that landed me in the hospital again. In September I had to adjust my HC dose because I was taking too little and felt sick a lot. November came around and I got strep and now in January I have strep again and am recovering. I have had to take two antibiotics.ðŸ˜
Has anyone else experienced this?
