Adrenalectomy happened in 1969. (Cushings patient). Diabetes set in late in life...I'm now 74yrs. old.. I take 100mgs. Januvia in AM... my cortef 15mgs late PM..not good, because

my energy level all day is low. ..and when a virus (as just happened) comes along..I have

to drop Januvia (can't reverse, of course) and take...and double cortef in the AMs till

gone...then return.

Why can't an endocrinologist ask a Mayo Clinic (where cortef invented) for help in my

case? Do I have to go to Mayo Clinic personally? What's the big deal?
