Hi sb4ca. Adrenal insufficiency is challenging. I struggle with various symptoms, which do include body temperature fluctuations and intolerance to temperature changes, both cold and hot. My hydrocortisone supplement is designed for me to have control over part of it, in that I adjust the smaller dosage to meet my needs responding to fluctuations in circumstances such as illness or significant stress. This process can get a bit subjective, and I am continually working to keep the dosing as low as possible. Very tricky at times with no clear path. I am sure that you have already, but if not, you can use the endocrine.org site for information. There are other good sites for info as well, such as Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins. Just fyi, I carry an emergency pack when I travel with heat packs and my injectable hydrocortisone. For every day, I carry a pack of my 5 mg hydrocortisone tabs, (my floating dose) as sometimes I need an emergency dose on the spot if something happens with my blood pressure. Good luck with this! There are no easy answers, but its ok to be proactive and seek guidance.
