Good morning,
I'll try not to duplicate my responses and answers within this thread. So thankful that so many people responded! Thank you for your response as well. Yes, I have seen several specialists and rheumatologists and endocrinologist, but I have not had a trial of prednisone therapy. The only type of steroid I'm on right now is the hydrocortisone for the adrenal insufficiency. From everything I've been reading, I'm pretty apprehensive going on prednisone therapy. It's scary. I'm having enough reactions and negative side effects just from the hydrocortisone. And they said that the insufficient adrenal gland is most likely due to the steroid injections of prednisone, so I'm doubly apprehensive having more prednisone.

No, no one has suggested any referrals to any doctors. I've had to be very proactive to get those appointments. It's unbelievable and the health care system is so broken here. I will check with getting an immunologist referral when I speak with my MD on Wednesday.

Thanks again and good luck to you!
