i have read several internet boards about having a syringe that can administer 100 mg of cortisol if i am injured. but no pharmacy seems to carry this. i live in oklahoma city. can anyone help? thanks

You need a script for a vile containing power & liquid. 100mg solu-cortef. When needed the seal between the two is broken allowing for mixing & loaded into a syringe with 1 or 1.5 inch long needle (depends on the size of your hip), to be injected into the "muscle" of the outer thigh, midway between the knee & hip.

You & others who may have to give you this shot should be trained by a nurse or doctor.

I have two emergency kits. Each has two of these viles, a couple syringes & some alcohol wipes. Also directions on how to give the shot, letter from endo describing how I should be cared for if in crisis or trauma & a paragraph or two telling what addisons is. Any & all of this could be a life saver if needed.

I was diagnosed in 1998 & have never had to use my emergency shot, but have to carry it everywhere.
