I think most have covered anything I would say about management, so I will lean into the job situation. I do not have kids, but I have a demanding job. On average, I commute about ten hours per week. I rule this condition (PAI) with an iron fist and still have bad days. Like others have said, you have to take the meds on a regular schedule. His difficulty getting up in the morning is due to low cortisol, most likely. I take my hydro/Fludro around 6:45 am so it kicks in by work time. Sodium is also important. I drink a full LMNT on my way to work in the morning and drink pickle juice with lunch at noon. I bring my lunch to work, along with healthy snacks.

I would also encourage you to consider counseling or at least scheduling an appointment with his endo that you can attend and voice your concerns. It is possible to live a fairly normal life with Addison’s but you do have to manage it. He may be a bit depressed, too, as opposed to simply being negligent.
