"I’m using this for desqumative inflammatory vaginitis. When I use it I feel better, but when I stop I feel weird again. I’m still trying to figure out if it’s helping or not. I still have a few weeks, so I’ll see."

"I was put on prednisone and did NOT react well at all, experiencing most of the horrible side effects. After doing some online googling, I talked to my rheumatologist into prescribing 'plain old' hydrocortisone pills, and it has changed my life for the better! I have been taking it for over a year now (off and on) and have not felt healthier & happier in twenty years. I am not sure why docs always seem to prefer prednisone?! But for me, it was NOT the answer, as the side effects were absolutely nightmarish. On the other hand, I have had ZERO side effects while on a low dose of hydrocortisone. When I learned that hydrocortisone is closer to what our bodies naturally produce, it was a big 'A-ha!' moment for me as I am ultra-sensitive and have a hard time with meds and foods, etc."

"I am using the hydrocortisone cream 2.5%, for a lite case of hemorrhoids, lots of burning and itching. This is some great stuff, way better than Prep-H. Only been using for a week two times a day and hemorrhoids all most gone. And the burning and itching is gone and I have only used half a tube, I will try to keep some of this on hand. Good stuff"
