Hi there- So sorry you’re going through this. @maverickwhites is right about looking for an endocrinologist—I learned they treat adrenal insufficiency.

I’m a caregiver for my father who has PMR (polymyalgia rheumatica), also an autoimmune disorder. Because the first line of treatment for it is long-term use of prednisone, there’s a high risk of developing adrenal insufficiency.

I posted a discussion in the PMR group a few months ago that had replies that might be helpful: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/adrenal-insufficiency-and-tapering-prednisone/, and you might find other members who can relate.

My dad has his endocrinology appointment next week (finally!) We’re not sure if that’s his issue, but we suspect it, which is why he got referred to a specialist.

Have you already been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency, or do you suspect it?
