Book Description
The concept of cortisol pumping is the use of solu-cortef used in an infusion pump programmed to disperse cortisol according to the natural circadian rhythm by programming rates of delivery into the pump. This method bypasses the gastric passage and is able to deliver cortisol in a more natural way, 24/7. With an infusion pump, an adrenal insufficient patient can receive a constant supply of cortisol and can lesson the instability experienced with oral steroid cortisol replacement. Side effects due to malabsorption can be decreased and patients have reported to have improved sleep, weight management and experience an overall improvement in their energy levels and sense of well-being. This method has also been shown to lessen the prevalence of adrenal crises and hospitalizations due to low cortisol. This book is a patient's guide to managing the cortisol pumping method. Though this method is not a cure for adrenal disease, it is an option and a ray of hope for those who are struggling with quality of life.
