> Do you take small doses of Prednisone on a daily or regular basis? Or do you just take it when you feel a need for it?I would only take it every day if a doctor was regulating my cortisone intake. Like any hrt it needs to be monitored. However I have taken it now and than when I really need a boost. If hormones are a pyramid than cortisol is at the bottom. If that is out of whack more than likely the rest are also. The old domino effect.
Some alt med practicianers are aware of this but most convential docs are totally in the dark on this issue.
