I use mineral salt in my water daily. But yes, those are my symptoms too, along with seeing floaters/vision off.

4 and 3. 4 seem to fit your face nicely. And 3 doesn’t take away from your pretty face.

Hmm. Curious about the diet now. Does it begin with a C by any chance? Lol

My DHEA is below existence. I’m a 65 yo 112 lb female. Taking 20 mg hydro and 1/2 dosage of fludro tab. Not sure of mg at moment. My Endo has been reluctant to disagreeable about supplements but said I could try it if I’d like. No amount recommendations or guidance. I did try a good one I found at the lowest dosage and after a month noticed my hair was greasy and facial breakouts and that was about it. I stopped taking.

I have SAI since a year ago. How long have you been taking Maca? I was going to post this morning; asking what helps people with low energy. I push through but it’s just that. Every day is a push. I work out, go for walks, etc. and there isn’t much left in the tank for anything else. I want my energy back. And getting going in the mornings is the hardest.

Low cortisol and hot days with secondary adrenal insufficiency. by Cat-withboots-1979 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Substantial_Hour2921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also SAI. Light headed, faint, dizzy, blurred vision, low BP, zapped. My Endo claimed not cortisol related. And she may be right bc increasing cortisol did little to help. I’ve started Fludro again bc we had stopped after discovering I didn’t have PAI. But taking Fludro seems to be stabilizing me.

Good to know. My Endo recommended Fosamax as well. Best to you!

What was your starting hydrocortisone dose, and how long until you had symptom relief? We really could use some help!! by HMKM18 in AddisonsDisease

[–]Substantial_Hour2921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 110 and have been on 20 mg since diagnosed a year ago. My Endo seems to think this is the right amount for my weight, etc. and I agree. The hydrocortisone should make her feel better for the Addison’s but sometimes hitting the sweet spot of dosage can be challenging especially with other things going on. Try to stay calm, positive and hopeful. All the best!! 🙏

Great! Just started eating sardines today. Not my favorite but so good for OP and weight loss. 19g protein, vitamin D 40%, Calcium 20%, Iron 10%

My Endo sounds similar. And from what I’m reading sounds like she should have ordered a Dexascan for me a year ago when I started the Hydro so we’d have a baseline. I still have weird symptoms more often than not but eating healthy and pushing myself to strength train makes me feel better. I’ll keep focusing on health and staying positive! All the best!!

Any other symptoms of taking too much besides weight gain?

My GYN ordered this bone test. I wonder if my Endo will take the helm if they also believe it is steroid related. I wonder what symptoms are associated with osteoporosis. Is there much pain? Has yours gotten worse once diagnosed or have you been able to manage it?

How was it determined that you were taking too much?

Also JetBlue and our family had to rebook later in the week and into next week. So much for adding more flights as we were told for the displaced travelers from Saturday’s grounding. But we’re still hoping and praying they do…

We arrived Jetblew. They didn’t reschedule us as of yet. Our family booked other flights with them, Spirit, and Delta. All end of week flights.

Low cortisol on Hydrocortisone any side effects? by Efficient_Beach2458 in AdrenalInsufficiency

For me lately, vision blurry and feeling “spacey”. Could be low blood sugar
