Guest guest Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 I take HC with me everywhere I go " just in case " . It occured to me that since I don't have any that's injectible, should something happen (accident, etc) I may need a stress dose administered. That got me to thinking; if in an emergency situation there where someone with adrenal trouble and that person became unconscious, would HC cream work? Note: I know all this may seem a little over-worrisome, bare with me please - my hormones are a little out of wack. Also, I've had two Dr's prescribe cortef for me and neither has properly instructed me on the medication and its potential impact. After doing a little research, I came across several articles noting medical alert id's were a good idea. Reason: if you can't produce enough cortisol when not stressed, your body probably can't produce enough for the " stress dose " required by the body in the event of an emergency. Lastly, I was also a girl scout: " always be prepared " : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
