Re: still unclear on how to treat hypopituitarism?

January 17, 2008

To treat low cortisol would be low doses of HC (Cortef, or HC cream)-

some do well with vitamins that are necessary for the Adrenals, and

some who are further burntout need the mild HC.

The pituitary gland is responsible for a few hormones, it depends which

one's are low in order to best treat them. Do a search

for 'hypopituitarism'', and ''treating hypopituitarism''. Hypo means

pituitary is slowing down not working so fast.

I have a doc appointment on monday and he mentioned he noticed

pituitary problems, so I'll find out what he's giving me, and let you

know. I'm almost positive it depnds what hormone the pituitary isnt

putting out needs to be corrected, at least thats what I've read.

The same way you treat low cortios for any reason. with replacing what your body

cannot make with HC.
