Re: adrenal failure

[Guest guest]

I'm on 5mg prednisone, the pharmaceutical. It's

proven, adn that's really important to me because I

want to do gymnastics. I have to take an extra " stress

dose " before gymnastics and aikido, or if I'm sick,

but it's been pretty good to me.

I trust my endocrinologist, and he says this is my

best bet for NOT having an adrenal crisis at

gymnastics or something. When he met me I'd been in

bed about 7 months and was on the verge of blood

presure crash and stuff. I got luuuuucky.
