Has anyone found any medications or supplements have added or unusual side effects with Addisons? I know there’s a few such as ashwaganda that you shouldn’t take but wondering if there’s anything else that has affected anyone.
Exactly that. I am 6.1 inches hard yet in photos it looks tiny. Is this a common experience ? It really gets me down, I know I’m slightly above average but on a photo it’s doesn’t look so. In the mirror it looks far bigger.
Does anyone else have the same thing? It seems doctors don’t understand nor comprehend the condition correctly. I have been to A&E on a few occasions with near crisis symptoms (vomiting, hypoglycemia, hypotension ext…) every time they say it’s a stomach bug. My salts stay relatively stable until I’m in full crisis usually which I try to explain to them. They usually reluctantly administer fluids and hydrocortisone IV, but still say it’s just a bug and my Addisons has nothing to do with it. Why do they do this? We as patients know our disease best and know how crisis presents for us as individuals. I know it shouldn’t but it sort of puts me off going which is really bad. Just wondering if anyone else experiences anything similar?
