Safe uses of cortisol - What is a suppressive dose?

[Guest guest]

I've read a few papers that say there is no correlation to be

found between dose/duration of corticosteroid treatment and HPA

suppression. But it occurred to me that none of these studies said

they looked at any *prior* level of AF/ " HPA fatigue " . It seems

logical that if your adrenals are already not function well (and thus

the HPA feedback loop is not working properly), it would take less of

a steroid dose to completely shut to loop down. Val, do you know if

anyone has looked at whether there is a dose/duration correlation if

prior HPA function is taken into account?
