Hello. I recently saw an Integrative Health doctor. After testing, he concluded that I have Adrenal Insufficiency. As a result, he put me on Hydrocortisone 10 mg. I take 2 pills with breakfast and then 1 with lunch. Since this is a steroid, I have gained a lot of weight. Can you tell me please, is there anything to counteract this side effect? If not, would exercise have any impact or would it have no effect since this is medication -induced? How long does the average person stay on this medication? Also, should I continue taking it on a daily basis or just when I feel really week like I did originally? Unfortunately, my doctor is not available at this time, so I am asking you. Thank you so much and I hope to hear back from you soon.
