When they took out your adrenals, they essentially gave you medically induced Addison’s disease. Whereas you no longer have them, my adrenals stopped functioning. So prednisone should work for you as well, unless there is another reason they specifically want you on hydrocortisone. I wouldn’t recommend changing medication on your own, but know that there are a few other options for medication that you could talk with your doctor about.

A bit of trivia, President Kennedy had Addison’s Disease.

I have Addison’s, so likewise, I have to take medication twice a day. Have you tried a different medication to see if it would help with the nausea? I’m on prednisone currently. I think there’s at least one other medication that can be used besides hydrocortisone and prednisone.
