Adrenal Insufficiency (Was Re:)

[Guest guest]

Hi Jane,

It seems like just when things are beginning to go so well, there's some

kind of crisis. That must have been pretty scary! What exactly is

adrenal insufficiency? He had coughing and vomitting and ... anything

else? Was it just because of the flu or did it have anything at all to

do with steroids? After the IV drip did have to increase the oral

dose of steroids or was that enough? Sorry it took me so long to respond

to this post. I've got over 800 mails right now to sort through but I'm

very interested, so if you can offer any other details, please do

Hope 's doing much better by now.

Take Care,

Georgina
