So when we say " shut the adrenals down " ....Does this mean that if we were to

suddenly find ourselves without our TWENTY or so milligrams of HC that our

adrenal glands wouldn't work at all, or are we saying that taking it LONG TERM

will shut them down for good? I still don't quite understand what ADRENAL

SUPPRESSION means and if a non-addison's person (like me) who takes 15 mgs. of

Cortef per day could find herself in adrenal crisis if she were to go without

her cortef. So I guess I'm wondering if adrenal crisis only can happen to

's folks or if it could also have happened to someone like Val when she

was taking 30 mgs. of Cortef per day if she had just suddenly stopped or if she

had gotten into a car accident and became unconscious (would she have died from

adrenal crisis).....

I really need to understand all of this better.

Thanks,
