Help! I have a new diagnosis of Pituitary/adrenal insufficiency,

I had mild adrenal insufficiency and the docs treated thyroid, saying that would address the adrenal issue.

Are you on prednisone because of the insufficiency or do you have the insufficienty because you stopped prednisone?

Sorry you are feeling so poorly and not getting help!

They started me on prednisone for adrenal insufficiency. Then they told me to double or triple the dose for anything stressful, or for any illness.

Prior to my diagnosis, I wasn't ever on corticosteroids. To be honest, I have had these
symptoms for over 30 years.
