Hi - I have had addison’s and hypothyroid for almost 11 years. For most of that time I have “dealt” in 2007 I had my first crisis. In fall of 2007 we moved from Canada to the US. Summer here is very hot and I have found it very difficult. I had my second crisis in April of this year. I am wondering if others have found any of the following issues: travel drains energy, menopause is more difficult when dealing with addisons, drinking water drains your sodium, low energy, prednisone is not as beneficial as cortef, too much florinef - a full .1mg daily causes edema (legs swelling), I eat lots of salt, drink clamato for the sodium, do salt pills help? how often and how much? DHEA? , anyone else have b12 issues? any and all feedback would be appreciated. I have determined to take a more active roll in my health - I HAVE TO. I am frustrated with the lack of energy for my age.
Thanks to anyone you replies.
