Suggest Treatment For Adrenal Insufficiency
My mom, who is 82, has taken prednisone for 15 years and as a result, has been diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency. The doctors tell her that the only treatment is to increase her prednisone--which has not helped in the least. Is there anything else that can be done for her?
