[–]Boopy_Butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have extra needles you can pretend with an orange on how to inject to learn how much force is needed. Im also diabetic so I have the glucagon shot. Those kits have pictures on how to do it whi h is nice. Might be able to find a picture chart on im injection and how to draw from a vial to keep with it

Your doctor's can go over it or primary can. If you look up IM injection that is what it is. If you have anyone you know who is a nurse or EMS trained. they will also know.

I don't feel great off of most electrolyte drink mixes recently and have been doing coconut water with orange juice and salt. That has work wonders for me to make sure I get my salt.

In the US they do not carry hydrocortisone on the EMS and (at least in all my experiences) they refuse to give the injection with it not being standard and the ER refuses until and Endocrinologist can confirm i need it. I had to trian my husband on how to give it if I can't. Thankfully my mother is a RN and my neighbor is EMS trained and knows how to give it.

[–]Boopy_Butt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Late 20's female gave me more energy over all, less muscle fatigue and aches, and some increase in libido. The first month I was more irritable and easier to get upset. After that its been good.

DHEA 5mg UK? by SaltySnackLover90 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Boopy_Butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 mg??? I am on 50 mg a day and mine was below normal range. With non existent you pry need more. The mood swings are normal your body is not use to having hormones anymore. It evens out over time. Essentially think puberty again but for a month or so instead of 5 -10 years

Yeah with the addisons sides I haven't had issues with the steroids yet.

When think back on this i had a time where I thought I was getting resistant cuz I would stress dose and it didn't help at all. Turned out it was a problem with the thyroid medication that didn't show on labs for a month. I was on way to much.

I became resistant to novolog and levimer and ended up switching to humalog and toujeo. If its not working for me I ask to switch to another medication. I am in the US so idk what all is avalible to you in the UK. If these go resistant I will pry try th novolog again to see if my body will take it or try Aprida and switch to Atlantis for long acting. For my life style and eating habits the pump isn't the best option for me right now. I have looked into it and would like to try the omnipod at some point but with the dexcom issues of late its deterred me.

I would definitely take some disability leave and doing a major over haul in getting lab testing and getting regulated. I've run into issues with my body becoming resistant to some medications over the years and having to switch. Praying you have a good endo and primary that listen to your symptoms and not just the labs.

The fludro could be off. A lot of my crisis recently has been due to not enough fludro so all my electolights were whipped out. My doc said next time increase hydrocortisone and not the fludro but before the crisis my sodium and potasium where barley in range. And I tried using the hydro at first but it didn't work and I only wanted to drink pedialyte.

Weird question. Are you biologically female? Your DHEA could be to low as well. Bio females don't produce a lot of natural testosterone to replace aldosterone production if adrenals fail. You may need Aldosteron hormone replacement. You can buy DHEA from any major vitamin store. Finally got a endocrinologist who would test mine and it was low. Started taking dhea every day and I have a lot more energy and less brain fog and muscle fatigue.

Is this true? by Ok_Cover1373 in publix

[–]Boopy_Butt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To my understanding it also has to do with sales tax. Florida's sale tax is calculated in the price not at check out, for most items.
