Steroids will do Constant damage wile taking it. if your out of Adrenal Gland working correctly then you may have no choice but, to take steroids.
Has anyone with primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency been misdiagnosed with depression, anxiety, bi polar 2 ? And do you ever see someone who has primary or secondary experience problems when it comes to fight or flight stress related situations in life?

I am hypopituitary from tumor in 1986 that was removed then radiation in 1987. I can't take GH anymore because i had stage 4 melanoma. I just got diagnosed with secondary Adrenal Insufficiency most likely from radiation on my pituitary in 1987, they put me on prednisone in October of last year, and i have gained weight so fast. Should i ask to be put on Hydro-cortisone? .

I ‘m a fellow patient (have had panhypopituitarism for 15 years) my endocrine docs have ONLY recommended hydrocortisone for maintainence of the central adrenal insufficiency... . I hope my experience helps you. Adrenal insufficiency has been the worst part of losing my entire pituitary.

Smart caring Doctor in Boston Massachusetts said Dexamethisone given for swelling is Steroid induced Arenal Shutdown = Muder ? And its not very funny he cane up with such. Accordingly FDA never approved Steroids. though they are very high in the profit feild one still should not destroy a patient with temporal Swelling from poison ivy or a side effect of a other poison that helps the better of the 2 evils.

@@trafficjon400please stop spreading misinformation and being a retard.... OP clearly stated that their pituitary was treated with radiation due to a tumor meaning the pituitary was most likely destroyed ... And if the pituitary stops working then you develop adrenal insufficiency. And then you must take steroids in order to stay alive. Please educate yourself 🤦♂️
