Adrenal insufficiency and Hydrocortisone tablets?

Once your doctor gets all your tests results he should be able to tell you what he thinks has caused your adrenal insufficiency, and if you will need to stay on Hydrocortisone permanently. I had to take Prednisone, which I believe is somewhat stronger than Hydrocortisone. I had an autoimmune disorder, so the goal was to shut down my immune system. I tried to stay away from sick people, wipe down the handle of grocery carts, stuff like that. My doctor gave me antibiotics to take 3 times a week to help ward off any infections. If you have to take Hydrocortisone permanently, then you probably won't be able to work in any health care setting. I'm on disability, but I have a lot of other health problems besides my immune system being screwy. I don't have your problem, but I know SS basis their determination on whether they believe you can engage in any gainful employment or not.
