My point of view:
You don't stop anyone's hydrocortisone if you aren't an endocrinologist.
Add prednisolone on top if needed, decrease the pred dose by 5mg if you want but that is unlikely to matter. Do not stop hydrocortisone when you start prednisolone, it just adds a risk nobody really wants.

Most people don't know what it's like to have chronically fucked up #cortisol. "Don't stress out" is not only a non-answer, but irrelevant!
When my cortisol is high or crashing, I can't:
- Pay attention to the news
- Watch action movies
- Listen to music that gets me "amped"
- Exercise
- Enjoy erotica
- Work on tense scenes in my fiction
- Do basically anything that isn't calm, relaxed, slow, or *boring*.
I look forward to finally being diagnosed🤞

Ok, #introduction
I am a performance-writer/theatre maker flirting between horror and live art, as well as work as a Scrum Master.
Recently, I have been working on a wild adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis. Previously, and occasionally, made hip-hop, written and hosted horror podcast Caledonian Gothic, written about my life with Addison's Disease, hosted the performance cabaret ANATOMY, as well as all manner of weird, wonderful happenings.
