I know that the anorexia would likely be an issue. Of course, my weight is currently exactly what the doctor ordered back in the beginning, so maybe that makes a difference.
After hearing from Emily Elizabeth -- whose name I almost misspelled ;-) -- I think it's worth asking my pdoc about next time, and see if she's willing to try it. That low a dose seems as though it wouldn't cause a problem with appetite.
And I think BlueBerry has a good idea, too, of checking adrenal function. With some of what's gone on for me in the past couple of years, I have wondered that a lot, too. I'll ask about that, as well.
