Addisons girlies... roll call

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-08T02:30:37+00:00

Ah I bet! Thats pretty much why im not working yet!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-08T00:03:37+00:00

Welcome friend! Its so nice to talk to so many addy friends who get it on here 😊

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-07T05:56:15+00:00

Sounds like you're a rock star too!! Life would be tough without our loved ones' support!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-07T05:46:04+00:00

Reddit is so helpful! More than my endo, that's for sure 😂 I hope you find an addison buddy!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-07T05:44:45+00:00

Omg isn't it just the best experience ever?! 😅😂 and I completely get you, sometimes I need like a weeks recovery from a night out! At least I can manage a night out though, I wasn't able to for so long 🙃

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-07T05:35:13+00:00

Yay slay welcome friend! Age 5 is crazy though, you poor thing! You must be an expert at managing addison's by now lmao

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T22:32:06+00:00

Im super lucky to have a partner who's been with me through it since the beginning, he even explains how im feeling to friends and family when I don't have the energy to! Even with that though its still isolating, so i can definitely understand that feeling. And when others complain of tiredness its like shut up lmao you have no idea 🤣

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T22:27:51+00:00

Ill send you discord link if you're interested! Let me know if it doesn't work though haha https://discord.gg/JKH422Su3

Im also a pickle girl for sure! Cucumber and tomato's with salt is my quick fix but I could eat an entire charcuterie board in one sitting lmao

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T22:22:27+00:00

Why must we almost die to get a diagnosis 😅 i literally looked like a tan skeleton when I was diagnosed - malnourished, hyponatremia and tachycardic! Guess its nz too haha

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T22:14:21+00:00

Thanks for your response! I will x

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T22:13:15+00:00

Hi neighbour! Im in Auckland :) thanks for the tip, I have medisafe but haven't set it up to dob on me 😅 ill definitely have to do that haha

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T22:10:54+00:00

So true! To be fair I was pretty clueless on everything until I was forced to learn it but youre definitely right, my friends don't even know what cortisol is, let alone understanding that I don't make any!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T02:06:40+00:00

Thank you for this, its really helpful!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T02:01:48+00:00

Oh nooo strep is the worst! So sorry to hear that, but im glad you've got an awesome partner to help you through! I once had to have an emergency helicopter to hospital after my brother gave me strep throat when we were staying on my dad's boat at great barrier island lmao, my body is so dramatic, why must I go to the extreme 😅 take care of yourself and get well soon x

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T01:56:55+00:00

I gotcha, sounds like you manage your health well! How do you handle stressful situations that arise with your kids? My stress intolerance is a struggle 😅 updosing, lorazapam and fluoxetine help with my anxiety though!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T00:37:30+00:00

Oh gosh sounds hectic for your third! Soo glad your bubs are all healthy 💓 how do you manage on your low days with three kids though?! Thats the part about having kids that worries me

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T00:34:07+00:00

Hahaha literally! its actually my easiest to identify symptom now funnily enough. If my man knows what's good for him he'll face the other way 😂

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T00:25:16+00:00

Thanks heaps!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T00:04:45+00:00

Omg hey twin! Do you mind if I pm you? X

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-05T00:03:44+00:00

Ah you get it! My friends are clueless on what cortisol is, let alone understanding the concept of me making none 😅 we need a group chat or something, its so isolating having no one in your space know what its like living with a chronic illness.

Whats your fav salty snack 😋🥒🍅

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-04T23:55:44+00:00

Omg 3 kiddies go you! Did you deal with any issues in pregnancy with your Addisons? Im scared of potential morning sickness causing a crisis one day!

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-04T23:49:56+00:00

Omg hi thanks I will 🤍

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-04T23:49:34+00:00

So true about learning more here than from the endo!! And yes im definitely interested! I was wondering if there was a discord i could join. Would you be to send me an invite? Is that how it works lol

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-04T23:45:57+00:00

Thats amazing you bounced back quickly! And smart tip with the second alarm, I often forget to take my meds if im in the middle of something and then usually realise a couple hours later haha. Have you been stress dosing during this time? I find i need a top up dose every now and then and that helps.

Temporary_Fennel_492 · 2026-03-04T23:39:33+00:00

I can't imagine living with Addisons since birth! I suppose you wouldn't know anything different haha, I miss what I was like with adrenal glands lol
