      That's what I'm hearing as well. I kinda want to come off the prednisone and see what happens but will only do so with close supervision and a solid plan.

      I had pituitary swelling and thyroid and adrenal failure due to Yervoy. My endocrinologist and also a second opinion from endocrinologist at University of Chicago Medical Hospital both told me that it most likely will be permanent.

      Unfortunately, I have to agree with the others.  My endocrinologist says it's permanent.  🙁  I'm on daily hydrocortisone.
