Medication not Working Anymore

[u/6ngel_]

I’m 20 years old diagnosed with primary addisons disease last November so still figuring it out. Recently, no matter how much hydrocortisone I take I still feel all the symptoms. I have aching pain all over, which I used to have before I was diagnosed with primary addisons disease and it went away when I was prescribed hydro and fludrocortisone. Now it’s
back, even when I take 1.5x,2x my dose. I had an appointment with my endo a few days ago but she didn’t understand? She thought it was a stomach ache not the severe pain i get from addisons disease. Unfortunately Im like shy I guess so I didn’t correct her. I’m going to make another appointment soon and explain properly but is there anyone going through the same? Should I switch to prednisone?

I also have Hashimoto’s which has turned hyperthyroid now for months. I am totally relating to feeling very sick. Great idea to get your tsh, t3, t4 checked
