Thank you for your comment! Patients on long-term corticosteroid therapy often don't have the normal functions or adrenal functions as patients not on long-term corticosteroid therapy. So, the body does not produce excess cortisol naturally. For this reason, corticosteroids are often increased in dose prior to surgery to help reduce pain and inflammation. I hope this helps provide clarity on this topic. Best of luck to you!

Awe, thank you so much for your kind words!
Mmmm i don't get why steroids are increased prior to surgery instead of decreased. Aren't they responsible for the further decrease in cortisol?
