Something important that I left out of my original message is that
Natasha's Addisonian symptoms never came back after the Percortin shot.
Only the first blood test (when she was symptomatic) showed abnormal
electrolytes. That is part of the mystery to me: her adrenal tissue was
removed to the point that not only did her hair start to grow back
(before disappearing again) but that she crashed. I'm wondering why the
residual tissues weren't cranking out hormones right away. Maybe they
were in "shock" or needed to re-connect with the bloodstream?
