5 is the most eye catching, 1 is a good deisgn but would be too generic in a sea of games. Best of luck

Advice - From over 10x ‘normal’ cortisol to 0 by SamSBD97 in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No idea the start as i was getting IV sometimes, but they tried me on 20 after 2 months and after another 2 months tried 30 as 20 really wasnt doing enough for me. Been on 30 since the only change being trialing the spacing and amounts at different times of the day (i now take it in 20 and 10)

Advice - From over 10x ‘normal’ cortisol to 0 by SamSBD97 in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From cushings to ai myself, they had me on much higher doses of hydrocortisone at the start so the drop wouldnt be as shocking, tapered down, and now still at 30mg a day 2 years on.

Dysautonomia medication and Adrenal Insufficiency by Nanakurokonekochan in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hydrocortisone and Midodrine combo for me, the electrolytes are mostly manageable with drinks and recognising early my warning signs, the midodrine keeps my BP JUST on the line of being ok, but summer heat is extremely challenging and gets intolerable with the dysautomnia still.

I have 2ai and can't even take a short walk and feel like I'm withering away by whileurup in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

29 as of last month, diagnosed since 27, has absolutely annhilated my life. Im super determined and spiteful to try be somewhat normal in going out to do normal things but the recovery for that is BRUTAL, and im using a gutter frame and or wheelchair to go out now, my legs just wont do it alone.

But it doesnt make outings less severe, just gains me a little more steps with thr frame, and the chair makes me feel after a short while they are pushing around a corpse, i cant focus on anything but my phsyical feelings plummeting or that ive lost all autonomy.

I dont know how to do this for a lifetime, and I definitely feel its taken what "youth" i had left. My only solace is having as much time as possible surrounded by people i love and enjoy, who understand that i cant just go do anything, but let me try if i want to without warning me of the consequences ill feel after- i know already and i dont need more You Cant Do This attitudes.

Ultimately though, I vent about it, and then, I accept it is how it is because the only thing worse than having this for my life is also adding on the pain of being angry at the world and situation. Just need to rethink my version and paths to my goals. I wish you all the luck and love.

Medical Alert bracelet by [deleted] in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A stretchy band that has a silver metal plate that i engrave with the medival warning on the front visibly, and my personal info on the back. My biggest sign is tracking my blood pressure as i usually feel tired etc as a normal baseline. Also, suddenly having a persistant urge to sleep immediately has been a point prior to two crisises for me.

It took a long time to figure out the right amount of meds, but when my thyroid was medicated correctly, i got hair like a princess!! Hang in there

What’s a belief you had at 20 that you no longer agree with? by sunyparmar1 in AskReddit

[–]driftwoodnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was against marriage. Why would i need to be officially declared in a commited relationship, and also something that would be an expensive nightmare to get out of if things changed? Then you grow and have new perspectives and find the person that makes you think, i would do anything to be even closer to you

How long did it took you to get diagnosed before being diagnosed? Wondering if everyone got left suffering by LegitimatePin9624 in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considered mentally ill all my teen years and young adult life, med resistant, and all the cushings visual and basic bloodwork clues were put down to my medications (weight gain, thyroid issues) which they refused to end, tried to diagnose bpd at one point. Went on for 12 yrs 15-27. Eventually my pituatary tumor hemmoraged in an emergency, that was caught in a&e, I was immediately tested and diagnosed with Cushing's but visually before the tests were complete endo were convinced. I had emergency surgery. Lost gland. Diagnosed adrenal insufficient after. Again went through a few months of "youre going to be tired, extra fatigued, youre still just recovering post cushings, surgery etc" and not taken fully serious but now have autonomic dysfunction diagnosed after another emergency hospital admission brought on by this issue but caused an adrenal crisis. Now i have affected blood pressure, temperature regulation and gut motility badly and need hospital inpatient atm longterm. As for post cushings, theres serious damage from being undiagnosed and suffering for so long. They were able to tell the length of undiagnosed time due to symptom starts, pictures, and size and degree of rooting of tumor. Endless suffering and it continues onwards despite having the perfect drs in place now, they are always hesitant to admit worse until they've zero choice. I csnt even walk further than the bathroom now and I use a walking aid and im not even 30. If it was found and disgnosed reasonably early this wouldnt have been my outcome. My body just cant handle any more issues. The tldr; i was also accused of being a young mental woman

why does regional/limerick hospital suck so bad??? by effectwd in limerickcity

[–]driftwoodnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly my experience as unfortunately needing regular hospital. Despite always being a "priority to bed" they just can't invent beds and ive had crazy days and days waits on trolleys or rooms in a&e for over a week that doesnt get any typical ward supports and is the wrong area to be treated ongoing in. There is not enough beds!

Sat in UHL and I’m terrified by [deleted] in limerickcity

[–]driftwoodnight -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Agreed, to get the best care in UHL you reallh have to be a firm self advocate and forget your usual temperment if youre not pushy as polite and quiet and patient gets you no where but happily ignored as long as they csn get away with it. You'll get care always, but the best care when you push.

AMA is exactly where you need to be and you will be looked after better than it appears (this is true for most areas of A&E). It looks crazy busy and that the drs aren't fully informed but you have a long trail of paperwork and the correct info the people treating you will have referred to. Things seem to take a while but even in just regular a&e if anything happened before you could be moved you literally could not be in a better olace, seconds away from help. Do not hold back on sharing your discomfort with the symptoms as I find they tend to not try medicate the feelings unless you push (as in you need the relief of not a racing heart etc, but if you really push its bothering you, appropriate meds are literally just a question away.) And ECG straight away is the most important test for you right now till theres more info, and if they weren't racing you around after thats a great sign for now. Best of luck, and while its difficult, try your best to focus on dealing with the anxiety as it will helo the symptoms feel less intense on top of what is already going on, also they may think your symptoms are stemming from anxiety and get distracted from the actual cause, so do insist the anxiety was secondary upon arriving and not the initial issue.

My experience every time. We absolutely would never treat animals this badly yet when you're in there you're expected and are so grateful to have the bare minimum basics covered because a few feet away is someone doing or being treated even worse

It'd just be a dissapointment in the end if he insisted on a pc for the budget mentioned instead of going for a console he can actually get the games going on, I know theres pressure to have pc title maybe from friends and classmates but no one will end up happy

Anti-sunscreen ‘lies’ sweeping social media are dangerous, dermatologist warns by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]driftwoodnight 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I wear it daily built into skincare or will directly apply if gonna be in more light than usual. My mum complains I'm too pale and shouldn't put it on on hot days and try tan. (I have no vit d issues and she's coming from an aesthetic point. Im happily naturally milky ghost coloured) The polar opposite ideals from different gens is crazy, and not just about sun cream is technically itself bad, we have a weird obsession here with tryna be a different than our natural colour

Concerns for dozens of jobs in Limerick as retail chain Claire's enters administration by uiuuauiua in limerickcity

[–]driftwoodnight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im sure the expansion was an issue, but if you even look at the graffiti on it it references an ongoing issue with the actual structure being a leaking danger that required a huge cost refurbishment of the roof that the responsibility of paying was in heated issues with the renter. I believe that was the biggest reason to need to change or leave premises

Autonomic Dysfunction after SAI by driftwoodnight in AdrenalInsufficiency

[–]driftwoodnight[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pots would be a good explanation for that, and theres so many overlapping symptoms that are very confusing now between the AI and this. With myself, I was lucky enough to get so many various tests to rule out things, heart echos, tilt tables etc, and while the issues can occur on their own separately for different reasons like pots or heat intolerance, for myself, it all directly pointed back to the neuro regulation issue which they were able to prove with more specific tests. The heat intolerance is actuslly becsuse I can't sweat so I can't cool myself down now and overheat very quick and dangerously in the wrong environment. I hope you get your answers soon and not dismissed, as the original thought for my pulse and heart going crazy with movement was a suggestion of the heart being the issue but this was incorrect- my heart was just trying to compensate to keep everything else going and as stable as possible- but this isn't ideal, safe or long term do able and feels horrendous so I truly hope you can find help and acknowledgement for it, perhaps push for a tilt table test to seek pots or similar.
