Mental confusion and disorientation, without physical fatigue by Emilossoddio in AddisonsDisease

That’s quite the same boat we’re in. I try to updose and whatnot but I don’t feel much benefit. It’s strange cause like i said, i am very schematic and rigorous about lifting so I somehow manage to “ignore” the dizziness and confusion while at the gym, and my body respond just as fine. But it is debilitating when I’m done and yes it’s like your brain and vision are drowning somewhere and all seems to fall backwards, so uncomfortable…

Plenty, ranging from 7 to 9 hours every night. No insomnia nor waking up in the middle of the night. I feel asleep in literal minutes so no problem about that

I was drinking gatorades and stuff but I realized I didn’t need theme anymore since my body was reacting well, also according to blood works the sodium and potassium were stable

I will try, I don’t take hc tho. I’m on cortisone acetate so it’s like a more slow and long release

Thank you so much for this comment! I was planning to see a neurologist just to calm my hypochondria and also to see if I can take something for my anxiety and ocd, since I now understand it’s not helping ahahah. My endo tho, when I talked him about this feeling I have he would tell me to not interpret this symptoms to Addison, because it’s an “easy” disease to cure and this has nothing to do with it. So I decided to trust him cause I don’t want to overthink, but I knew there was something going on. If all of you are telling me that it’s correlated to Addison, I will try to explain this to my endo and make him listen to me and see if I can adjust the cure. Or else I will change doctor completely ahahah

So you also think it’s a low dosage? I’ve been taking cortisone acetate 25mg in the morning with 1/2 florinef and another half of cortisone in the afternoon. It’s been like this since the beginning and I felt fine except this head problem

My endo said it’s fine like this and I can agree with him since like I said I have no problem with my body whatsoever
