A person wrote to me and said that she appreciated this blog and asked me where I got my information. She wanted to share it with her doctor. This is my reply to her.
Glad this is of help to you. It took 35 years of illness and tests to find out that I had Addison's Disease.
I list some of my main resources on the blog
The first three resources have really been a big help to me. I also study many, many online articles about Addison's Disease, but a lot of what I share is from my own experience. I study, compare to what I experience, then summarize it all. My hope is that it will help others live a better life even though they have low adrenal function.
I also could not find an endocrinologist who could help me. All they were worried about was that I wouldn't become a diabetic, which would only occur if the level of cortisone was too high. I was having trouble with low blood sugar. Since I don't produce any cortisone, I was in little danger or becoming a diabetic. I was in danger though of going into shock (Crisis) from low blood sugar. They wanted me to cut my hydrocortisone so, of course, I became very ill. I stayed with my doctor who listens to me and carefully monitors my condition. Few doctors know much about how to treat Addison's Disease or want to even try. I would be honored if your doctor read this material.
