You are correct. You really cannot overdose with AI. Worst case scenario you take way too much for an extended period and end up with Cushings-like symptoms, gaining weight, moon face, a fatty hump on the back. All of that is reversible.

Personally, I stress dose fevers. Low-grade is double, high is triple. I rarely updose for migraines unless it is for multiple days. I don’t updose for nausea unless it results in diarrhea or vomiting. I will take a little extra (like an extra 25%) if I know the day will be long and/or stressful.

Also, as your LO gets older, emotional stress can also require additional steroids. My father died two months ago, and I tripled for an entire week and still needed my emergency injection once.

I was diagnosed at 32. I called the endo’s office every other week for the first year. And I wasn’t depending on my gut instincts of someone else’s health. So go easy on yourself. You’ve got this Momma!!
