If all else fails (and we mean all else), talk to your doc about taking 5–20 mg every other day of a cortisol type of medication called Cortef or its cousin DHEA (not DHA) (your doc will need to measure levels before and frequently).

In cases like these, they have to be tapered off the Cortef or Prednisone (most commonly used corticosteroids) very slowly and if while doing so, their cortisol drops down to adrenal insufficiency level, they have to be bumped back up on their dose again and possibly have to take the cortisol steroid for the rest of their lives.

I do have other articles online in regard to treating Adrenal Fatigue and I don't recommend treating it with corticosteroids (cortisol steroids), whether it's the synthetic type like Prednisone or the more natural Cortef brand.
