Thank you for a wonderfully clear explanation! 91-year-old husband has been on hydrocortisone therapy since 2013, due to pituitary macroadenoma (removed). I've always had to guess at how best to handle stress dosing, and this video helps to clarify for next action plan!

I hate tosound ignorant
But the stress dose
Do you take the double dose
At the regular time with regular dose?
Or In between?
