I was told to stop my 1.5 mg per day dosage after going through the cortisol testing in Aug. About three months went by and I started having some nausea which got worse and my appetite was poor. Also had a breathing problem develop but never had a cold or sore throat. Dr. prescribed Prilosec and Ventolin. By Christmas I had lost a lot of weight and decided that I should try going back on Prednisone. I took 10mg. and decreased every day down to 1 and stayed there and my appetite came back and the nausea subsided. I did have some stomach cramps for a few days and I increased prednisone by one three times a week,
In the meantime my appt. with my primary care came up and he is not convinced that any of this is connected to adrenal gland insufficiency and I am going to have to have two CT scans done to find out what ails me I am convinced that getting ones adrenal glands back working as before prednisone might not be as easy as it sounds
