Sorry to hear that. Maya has Cushings which is she is producing too much cortisol so the treatment tries to kill off enough of the adrenal glands too control the cortisol production. One of the complications is killing off too much and then she would have Addison's disease which you treat with steroids. It is scary trying to get them to the right level but I understand they can live a normal life with both diseases. Good luck I will keep you both in my prayers.
