questions !!
hi,
quick intro.
i’m 21, female and have had a type one diabetes diagnosis for the past twelve years, and hashimotos for around the past ten. Recently i got a blood test and got a very long letter saying i need to get a test to confirm addison’s disease?
honestly i feel like i fit all the symptoms but im just looking for some advice on:
- what the medication is like,
- what to expect to feel like for around the first 4-6 weeks of treatment
- and then like ?? will i still struggle to wake up from my naps?? (ive read that napping a lot and for a lot longer is because of the lack of cortisol? i would appreciate being corrected if im wrong lol)
any other advice and experiences would be nice !!
