Thanks Ant-Rock!
It would be very nice if you could find the name of the book. I searched at amazon.com for William Jeffries, but all I got was a mystery novel and a business book! :-)
It's funny how one has to do so much treatment research on one's own, that after a while it feels like a waste that one didn't become a doctor in the first place!

> Hi John,
> I too had low cortisol readings, along with low-end testosterone, severe atypical depression/fatigue. The second endo-doc I saw agreed to let me try hydrocortisone therapy after I read an excellent book on the subject. Unfortunately, for me nothing dramatic happened, but this was probably due to my depression not being treated properly. Long-term Prednisone use is much more likely to cause adrenal suppression than hydrocortisone, if used in physiological doses. The case studies in the book are really fascinating.I really think this book could answer most, if not all of your questions.
