cortisol replacement

Hi all,

I haven't been on this forum in quite some time, but I am hoping that someone might have an answer to a question.

I have been on cortisol replacement for hypoadrenia for about 8 months. I am sick with some kind of flu or virus now and went into adrenal crisis yesterday. I finally realized what was happening and took more cortisol, but it was almost really bad. I have been having some nausea, but have not thrown up. I am wondering: If I do start throwing up, can I use the cortisol tablets in my rectum? My doctor has not given me a shot to keep with me, so all I have are the tablets. I just want to be prepared because this is a very scary situation to me and you definitely can not figure it out in the middle of a crisis.

I would appreciate any feedback or ideas that anyone might have.
