Deen,  My son gets extremely tired when he gets sick.  Especiallyafter having to give him a shot for a stress dose when he has the flu.  As far as the salt thing,  he doesn’t do that but over his 6-1/2 years ha has really gone thru some changes in his routines.  Once he switched to pill form of cortef though, the mood swings and other changes seemed to even out.  I was really glad when we did that.  It happened when there was a solu-cortef shortage and we had no choice but to go to pill.  Mathew was just a little over 1 and it was a challenge at first,  we would crush it with a little sugar and water,  then one day, we were out somewhere and didn’’t have a spoon so I tried to just give it to him;  he chewed it up and has been ever since. (even in his sleep)  Much easier..  Great to here from you.  Happy Halloween.. Sue
