It is important to speak with your doctor before starting or stopping any steroid like Hisone or Dexona, especially when you have a neurological condition. Steroids like these need to be carefully managed and tapered under medical supervision. Stopping them suddenly or making changes without guidance can be harmful. Always follow your doctor’s advice to stay safe.

It is generally very safe for your mother to get vaccinated. Hisone (hydrocortisone) at a 5mg daily dose is a very low dose that typically does not weaken the immune system or make vaccines unsafe. In fact, keeping her vaccinations up-to-date is highly recommended to protect her health. Please ensure she does not stop or alter her Hisone dosage before getting vaccinated, as her body relies on this medication daily. I recommend a quick discussion with her doctor to confirm her specific vaccine schedule, but you can feel highly reassured that her low-dose medication should not prevent her from being safely vaccinated.
