The adrenal fatigue part of this thread is not done with prednisone. Please go back and read. I said I used pred. But when I talked about adrenal fatigue with Scott I mentioned hydrocortisone. That is basically the form the body makes and is much gentler than prednisone. Now go back and reread what I wrote to Scott. HYDROCORTISONE. Also supplemented in small amounts as if doing hormone balancing. In the Yeast Connection it is mentioned as an alternative way of correcting adrenal fatigue. If done correctly can be done long term. Can also be adjusted as the adrenals correct themselves.
