Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Before a surgery you need ot talk to the anesthesiologist to make CERTAIN they are aware oyu have adrenal insufficiency. But for family to knwo is even better as if there was an emergency, where you were nto able to talk to this person they would need to do so in your stead. It is vital to stress to them that you may DIE in the case of a surgery withotu additional cortisolk in you That way you can usually rest assured they will be adamant about it shoudl something unforsen happen. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Val - since you're starting to lower your HC and eventually will be off, I assume, will you still say that you have adrenal insufficiency? In other words even when the adrenals seemed to have healed will you be extra careful in times of extreme stress? Would you still ask for the extra cortisol for surgery or serious injury or sickness even when you're off HC altogether? > > Before a surgery you need ot talk to the anesthesiologist to make > CERTAIN they are aware oyu have adrenal insufficiency.

I would probably ask for extra steroid in an IV for any surgery JUST IN CASE as too much will not hurt btu runnign out can kill a person. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
