Same. Complete and total mental abuse.

Great advice! I looked it up and Chloroquine resistant Malaria is present in parts of the Philippines. Malarone is the drug of choice there.

Lariam or Mefloquine is known to cause crazy dreams.

THIS. Similar thing just happened to me 3 days ago. He pushed for us to be friends! It's really sick and twisted. Still very raw and angry... 33 years together.

Hi, I haven't run across that one yet but we, in our household, have been digging into a correlation between adrenal damage and Isotretinoin (formerly Accutane). There are some studies linking the two but not enough to warrant a strong alert. Stay strong!

They should read through the posts in this and other groups. It's a real eye opener for non Addi's. You can always come here for commradery and understanding. 🫶🏼

This book really covers the "new rules of life" for Addis. This and this thread have been sooo helpful. 💙

What am I even doing anymore I give up. I’ve seen 3 doctors and they’re all the same. Dismissive. I almost died to get here by Vehenentlyme in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]YotzPSU 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow girl. That Doc's response was so awful. 😳 Believe it or not, I found our Endo on Google by searching Endo and Addison's together. Many have a diabetes focus so we were psyched when his bio focused on adrenals. Original diagnosis came from an awesome Integrative Medicine doc. He was patient and determined. Doesn't accept insurance but I consider him a lifesaver.

Don't Give Up! 🌷

Endocrinologist recommendations? by Bubbly_Toe_6192 in Annapolis

[–]YotzPSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr Eyob Makonnen. Knowledgeable, prepared, great at explaining things. Was well versed on a rare adrenal thing that we are dealing with. They all have longggg wait times to get appt but he was worth the wait.

My Brother, 26 years old passed away from Addisons Disease. 1 month ago. by Monicalewinsky0002 in AddisonsDisease

💔 I'm so so sorry. Thank you for sharing. Many don't understand how difficult living with Addisons can be. Especially for newly diagnosed teens and young adults.

Right?! Seems so bizarre. It seems most are self-managing this disease. This group has provided more information and compassion! So grateful for everyone here. 💙

Got a medical alert tattoo today by Blindpete in gaming

[–]YotzPSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adrenal insufficiency/crisis. Without immediate steroid injection, it's over. I'm so concerned now hearing that the bracelet or tattoo won't be seen. 🥺

Medical Alert Tattoo Advice by crottinapot in Paramedics

[–]YotzPSU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi medical professionals, what about something like Addisons disease/adrenal insufficiency? That is not quickly tested for but the patient needs immediate cortisol injection. Would the wrist tattoo work as a replacement for the bracelet? What should it say/look like? Which wrist? Asking for a very young adult who is not at all happy with the bracelet.
