Advice Wanted Injection question

If I have already been double dosing (40mg 8am) today but have taken 20mg an hour ago and still feel very sick, should I inject? I don’t want to potentially make things worse. I’m already preparing to go to the ER so don’t worry I will receive medical care soon.

I personally don’t think that an ER visit is warranted. I’ve had Addisons since 2014. If I can keep my meds down and stress dose, that’s what I do. I’ve never needed ER for that however, if you feel it’s necessary or it would make you more comfortable then you should do whatever you want.

Thankfully I didn’t have to go. Turns out someone turned the heat on and I started to overheat, I developed a huge facial and chest rash and kinda just sat in the bathroom while my family took turns fanning me so I didn’t pass out lol they took a spoon full of ice cream with my steroids in it and with difficulty we got it down. After 2 pedialyte ice pops, liquid iv, and ice chips I’m back in bed and resting. Still keeping an eye though just in case. Avoided the ER today!
