brethor9 Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 Hi All I have been on Florinef for almost 12 years Recently hit surgical menopause and find that my POTS/Dysautonomia is all over the place. In just 7 months I have gained about 30 pounds. I haven't been this big since carrying an 8 pound baby! I'm thinking the HRT and Florinef are not playing well together as both make you retain fluids and sodium. I had zero weight issues prior to Meno and HRT. I'm thinking at this point of stopping my Florinef but have no idea how to taper. Since the Pandemic my specialists have basically been MIA so no help there. Have any of you weaned off Florinef? Gone through Meno with the same issues? Any of your specialists mention Estrogen and Florinef issues? Help please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 @brethor9 since you are unable to see your specialists have you considered discussing this with your gynecologist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brethor9 Posted May 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Hi Pistol:) I don't have a Gynecologist unfortunately. Due to hysterectomy and ovarian cancer I haven't really had the need to see one. I do have an endocrinologist but she deals mostly with my thyroid issues and not hormonal.
