My mom was been treated pituitary adenoma by surgery and then radiotherapy. Several years later her pituitary gland seems to shrink in function , not able to secrete ACTH , and cortisol level is too low . She got the symptoms of heaviness in chest, sometimes stomach and is not feeling fresh and energetic . She was initially taking prednisone with dose of 5 mg in the morning and 2.5 mg in the evening . Since the symptoms does not subside, or increase more , doctor prescribed 20 mg in morning and 10 in morning for a week . And now she is having moon face and. Still not fresh and energetic. Please help those who knows
Great chat but I take prednisolone 3 times a day, did you mean Dexamethasone
