I Have Chronic Fibromyalgia And Have Had It For 15

I have chronic Fibromyalgia and have had it for 15 years now, long before they recognized what it was.
I function at a very high level but now I am having skin disorders, hair loss. My doctor says a lack of
cortisol can cause this and wants to try low dose prednisone for a short period of time. Will this help boost
the cortisol or will my body become dependent and stop making cortisol altogether?
