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

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.

How exactly is adrenal insufficiency diagnosed?

We suffer with these symptoms for years and because invariably our symptoms are not measurable or found. The medical professional you see is doing what they think might work as they are blindsided by little to no official diagnosis. You are not alone. Take care and remember self care before we can do anything.
