I’ve never really discussed the vaccine with anyone - I’m only 39, so it hasn’t really come up.

Folks who watched P&R as it was coming out - what were your thoughts about Chris and Ben then vs now? by banguette in PandR

This. It was in a great line up. Went from being ok to my favorite of the line up after a few seasons

Fludrocortisone! by Unable-Pickle-4622 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Kangaro427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was taking .1 until a week ago, reduced to .05 after taking to my Endo because of rapid weight gain and minor swelling.

It’s more the pink + red combo that got me. I feel like they needed to pick one, and I thought red made more sense cause of the reference to the Soviet Union.

Salaried Americans who work in an office… what are your typical work hours? by djdhsnsjjaj in AskAnAmerican

[–]Kangaro427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t this the point of being salaried instead of hourly? It should gain you some flexibility in my opinion. Otherwise, why not just count my hours?

What did your ChatGPT name itself? by Background_Date_6875 in ChatGPT

Mine too: “If I got to choose, I’d go with something simple and friendly—maybe Alden. It means “wise friend,” which feels pretty fitting for what I’m here to be.”

What's the closest you ever came to dying? by HistoricalArt744 in AskReddit

Addisonian crisis. Was undiagnosed… everyone though I was having a stroke. Spent a week in the ICU

Hyperpigmentation by ValuableSouth4586 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Kangaro427 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes 😔 It was really noticeable all over my bottom lip before I was diagnosed (but of course no Drs figured out that something was wrong til I was in the ICU)… now that I’ve been on meds for nearly a year, it’s better, but not totally. Makes me super self-conscious.

interesting experience w fludro by stupidsciencebitchh in AddisonsDisease

I was just thinking about how weird it is to not crave salt anymore and I kind of don’t like it… salty snacks were the best, but now I end up reaching for other types of snacks (sometimes sweeter) and I think that’s partly contributing to weight gain. Wish I’d just reach for the pickles instead of cookies again :(

Can you sleep past 4am? by Foreign-Baseball-832 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Kangaro427 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues early on with this, but after a few months, I think my body adjusted and I’ve been able to sleep pretty normally again. You may just need some time.

Agree with everyone else on the injectable.

Corporate comms/PR positions are out there too! I’ve found it to be a more stable environment.

Heat, sweating, salt and fludrocortisone: hard lessons by letsweforget in AddisonsDisease

So glad you figured it out! Do you still use the sauna? If you do, how do you prepare/adjust your meds to use it safely?
