A member asked:
I am hypopituitary, i do not produce cortisone. i have taken deltasone (prednisone) and prednisone for 21 years . are there any alternative therapies..
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Endocrinologist: For adrenal or pituitary gland insufficiency replacement therapy with cortisone and at times, thyroid and other medications are needed. These deficiencies all affect the way your body responds to stress and proper treatment is very important. An endocrinologist is best qualified to evaluate and treat you.
