Hydrocortisone and fillings...

Hi,

I’m due two fillings tomorrow at the dentist. I currently take 15mg of hydrocortisone (10mg am and 5pm).

I’m now worried about ‘adrenal crisis caused by stress’ should I increase my dosage before my appointment or is there no need? This is my first dental treatment since starting on steroids therefore I would really appreciate any help.

I.x

Called the rheumatology nurse. She said that there is no need to increase the steroids for fillings but if it was root canal I would have had to increase it. Just sharing this info as it may be useful for some :)
