You could be suffering from adrenal exhaustion and getting too little cortisone. Perhaps you should see an endocrinologist for an adrenal test. The problem with taking cortisone is that is shuts down your body's ability to manufacture it itself, so you become steroid dependent with various unpleasant results. In the case of adrenal exhaustion, however, longterm lowdose cortisone might well be the answer, since your adrenals aren't making enough anyway. Also, there are some quite potent cortisone boosters in herbal form - particularly licorice tea and high-dose ginseng. Just do a google search on adrenal exhaustion, and you'll find out more than you ever wanted to know.
