I am going to change my son’s endocrinologist very soon. I had to learn of solu-cortef shots off of the computer. I also have heard nothing of a medical alert bracelet. The doctor also did not tell me that I need to periodically have his levels checked. As far as I was concerned I only needed to have them checked when I felt like something was wrong. And I live in Atlanta!!!! Anyway when I switch to the other doctor I want to make sure that I find out everything I need to know. I know the signs to look for when his levels drop but is there anything that I need to have other than the solu-cortef shot and the bracelet? He is on Cortef 3 times a day and Florinef twice a day. His schedule is: 8 AM- half Cortef pill and half Florinef pill, 2 PM- half a Cortef pill, and 8 PM- Half a Cortef pill and half a Florinef pill.  My question is how come I don’t have to give him doses of medication in the middle of the night if he gets them that regularly during the day? I am really frustrated with the doctors that I have right now. I went with them because they wored along with the Scottish Rite Childrens Hospital in Atlanta. I live in Peachtree City, south of Atlanta and I just found one here that I have heard good things about. Maybe he will be better for us and not make me feel like I am just a kid that has kids and I am asking stupid question. I am 21 years old and I want to make sure that I am doing exactly what I need to be doing to keep my child healthy. I am over the blaming myself for his disease phase and now I just want to keep him healthy. I am so glad that I found this message board you guys have no idea!!!  Thanks.
