Adrenal shutdown is the party line used by the medical community to deny treatment to people whose adrenals are just bad enough to make them feel like crap, but not enough to kill them. On the other hand, every doctor I know, prescribes 20-40mg of prednisone per day and wonders why his patient develops side effects and crashes when it is time to discontinue. The equivalent to 20mg of hydrocortisone is only 5mg of prednisone. I can just imagine how much more regressive medicine would be if insulin or thyroid were used in the same manner as the corticosteroids.
