I have been diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency. I also have panhypopituitarism. I have been on 5mg of prednisone since my dx in 96. I have been doing some research and am interested in finding out more about constant subcutaneous infusion of hydrocortisone. My days start off OK but by 5pm I am very fatigued.
I only know of getting the iv HC in the UK from one doctor... He set up a diabetes pump with solu-cortef and set the pattern to be more like a normal diurnal rhythm.
Prednisone is long acting and can have long term side effects. You may want to up sodium first? Unless you can get in the UK study.
I am panhypopituitary too with no adrenals. I am on dex, worse than prednisone.
