Elisa McNinchHi,
My name is Elisa and I am 39 years old and I have had Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia since day 1. I am 4 feet 9 inches tall and I found out that I have Osteopenia through a bone density test. I have always drank milk but found out that cortisone depletes the body of calcium. I am taking 7mg of cortisone in the morning and 5 mg at night. I am wondering about the long term effect of taking cortisone so long? I would also like to get rid of the stomach pouch that I have? Will going on a low carb diet help or decreasing the morning dose by 2 mg?
