Debra, Make sure you tell the endo about the excessive urinating. There are people more sensitive to Pred and then your adrenals might be too. A morning cortisol might make sense to do. And, yes, any change in electrolytes can mean something! Bring that up too. Your kidney function should be checked if it hasn't been already. A good endo will run, at the very least, a comprehensive metabolic panel. Doing one first thing in the morning, while fasting, is best. Don't forget that Pred can bring on diabetes too.

I hope the appt. goes well.

Annie
