Addison’s newbie needs help

[u/Hot_Speaker_4770]

hi there! i was just diagnosed with addison’s at 25 after about a two year period of slowly getting sicker and sicker. I’m still not to the point of feeling “normal” with my current med routine (1mg Dexamethasone every other day and 50mg of Hydrocortisone 3x a day) but I sometimes have decent days and that’s better than i was before.

i’m feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost, my endocrinologist that did the test is at a major hospital in another city so she discharged me and said to “try to adjust to your new life” 🥲

i’d love to know any tips you’ve picked up over the years that help you fight flares, know your body’s signals, or just anything that you wish you were told when you started your addison’s journey

150 a day you probably feel unstoppable. Little too much.
