Kirsten, Hi and welcome. The injections you are hearing about are Solu-Cortef injections. These are necessary when meds cannot be tolerated orally. If you do not know anything about these Cortef injections, please ask your endo to show you how to do them. These are very important. They are kind of a "booster" and act much quicker than a regular oral dose. There is a lot of helpful information here on the board.
