Fludrocortisone, that's a no from me..

So, tried Fludrocortisone instead of midodrine and, boy have I been feeling rough as.

My doctor and I talked over my meds in the week, I'm on propranolol, ivabradine and had been on midodrine since early in the year. I'd had to cap mido at 5mg as any higher and I ended up bradycardic, so have stuck there since. But, given my feet still pooled and went blue, we agreed to give fludro a whirl.

I have ME, POTS/IST, LC and MCAS so am a mess and have seemed to be quite sensitive to meds but had hoped fludro would be fine. Alas..only done 4 days and feeling awful, headaches, fatigue worse than normal, my RHR is up about 10%, which isn't a good start. Have seen suggestions that one needs to ride out the initial period but I can't risk disturbing the delicate balance that is my body and will go back to mido..

Bummer..
