I understsand what you are saying and agree with you, though I've never heard or read of hydrocortisone alone being a causative factor of death. Had to be other complications shw was being treated for.
You did not mention the doses she was given. You did not mention the doses you took. I think people are reading too fast and missing the point...adrenal fatigue is treated with very small low doses...not even enough to raise cortisol levels beyond normal. Normal cortisol levels don't kill people or pose risk. Cortisol levels below normal cause significant risks in terms of psychiatric and biochemical dysfunctions.
If you are doing natural hormone therapy, you might want to take a close look at adrenal cortex extract, as you said in the past your symptoms fit adrenal fatigue perfectly. A friend of mine with years and years of failures to treat her anxiety and panic is doing great with the little bit of adrenal boost she gets from it...no more anxiety, no more panic, no more stage fright, no more need for xanax. And it only took one week to get that kind of result.
> If your mother died when you were l7 from hydrocortisone I really don't think you'd like it either. I've taken it when bleeding and pregnant as the doc gave it to me in a box in his office. And didn't say what it was. If I'd known wouldn't have taken it especially pregnant. That's me and my opinion only for me. I do have the right to decide what's right for me. I'm now seeing a bioidentical hormone doc as took in past but without personalized testing. Tomorrow morning I take the first drop of tincture of iodine as he feels it helps thyroid function. I've always gone the alternative route with exception of benzos. Shaklee vitamins were Great never felt better. Phillipa
