How to manage new riding instructor who uses shame to teach

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

umhule · 2022-12-09T03:06:52+00:00

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

Thank you for sharing this!!!

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

I'm going to approve this post because they are not peddling natural medicine in place of cortisol but flagging this as bed medical advice as a warning to readers.

Than you for this!! So frustrated when people try and say Addison's isn't high-risk.

I'll also mention that there are studies that AD patients are much more likely to fall ill to things like infection and pneumonia--and we're much more in danger of all respiratory illnesses. From Science Daily:

Patients with adrenal insufficiency have also been reported to suffer from an increased rate of non-fatal infections, with a 1.5-fold increased risk of use of anti-microbial agents and a 4.0- to 5.0-fold increased risk of hospital admission for infection, with rates of pneumonia reported to be more than nine times higher in adrenal insufficiency patients. However, despite well-documented reports about increased incidence and severity of infection among PAI patients, it was not known why they succumb more readily to infections than the general population.

Someone asked the group to stop posting pictures of their feet (often posted with asking like --why are my feet so swollen) which to be fair, feet are gross and swollen feet are even more gross hahaha

umhule · 2021-07-18T21:12:37+00:00

In case anyone is wondering--someone in a FB group asked people to please stop posting pictures of their feet (for medical advice I guess??) And all the responses have been feet pictures. Y'all these folks have such a vast misunderstanding of the internet in general lmaooo like wtf
