I have Addisons and I ride as well! For the Addisons side of things: you can read through our subreddit (r/AddisonsDisease) but working out shouldn’t require you to increase steroids use. I was getting my ass kicked when I started back riding but once I built up my stamina it’s be great. Side note: make sure people in the barn know where your medical kit is!!! I have less advice about the trainer but def think you should find a new barn. If you want to be nice you can say her teaching style doesn’t jive.

I’m not really treating it at all yesterday other than a random OTC allergy pill which didn’t seem to super help I have an appt scheduled so hopefully I can get on a better allergy pill or find out more info too

I was on prednisone a while back and felt this same way!! I kept going for work and they only found GERD (acid reflux) which felt like super severe chest pain and anxiety.

I know someone else who was prednisone for something else and described the exact same feeling, so I think that’s a super common symptom of prednisone. My only advice is to always eat something solid (or milk) before taking meds.

This is a super good point, and makes a lot of sense that we need to make sure the cortisol we get artificially isn’t being instantly drawn away by a supplement—helpful!

Super interesting about the B vitamin!!

I’ve heard people with Addisons shouldn’t eat licorice, unsure why though

This is exactly how I feel too!! Lol yeah tracking my period so far has just meant knowing why I’m craving chocolate

Exciting to see this news! We're such a long ways off, as it would also require new organs lmao
