I am sorry that you are so fustrated and stressed.  My son is 7 months old and we have had a very difficult time getting his med’s adjusted too.  We have changed his dose of cortef 5 times in 7 months.  We are waiting for lab results now.  I am guardedly hopefull.  He stopped growing for a 7 week period so we lowered his dose but I think he is undersupressed now.  We will see.  Thank goodness there are so many people on this board that say it gets better as they get older.  I keep trying to remind myself of this. 

I don’t know anything about pedipred.  Is there suppossed to be better control with this than with the cortef for "hard to control" cases?

Hang in there and know that you are not alone.    Lisa
