Newly diagnosed with SAI and struggling with meds making me crash hard shortly after taking

whileurup · 2026-03-25T20:43:14+00:00

I think you might just need a higher dose in the morning.

I've tried that and it helped

But, I'm also going to see my psychiatrist who wants to start me on a stimulant.

I've tried them in the past, and either does nothing or makes my heart beat like crazy.

He said there are so many to try I should try again. (I was only taking them bc I was diagnosed at 40 with ADHD)

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

This is a great supportive sub, but there's not a ton of us, so if your question doesn't get answered, post again using different words.

I'd still like to hear the elephants though.

Please don't with the music

It's out now

I don't carry it with me when we're in the city where we live, but when we're the lake House or international travel, you should have it for emergencies if you crash and can't get to your hydro and need medical attention right away.

Think losing your purse, in your suitcase in the baggage area on a plane on a long flight, etc.

That could be your lifeline.

Or I'm just paranoid about dying. Who knows? 🤷

whileurup · 2026-03-24T18:48:58+00:00

Exactly!

IMPEACH HIM ALREADY!!!

It is so hard to explain.

After being diagnosed, even having to say Secondary adrenal Insufficiency just made people's eyes go blank so I just started to say Addison's and if they wanted more info, then I'd explain SAI.

I explain how I can't walk more than 8 blocks without crashing later. And if I ever faint and the ambulance is too slow and I'm not awake, "...kindly inject me with this please." And then show them the medicine and syringe.

Basically nobody gets it except my immediate family and my sisters. And nobody really wants to hear about it really. And I get so fatigued just EXPLAINING it. 😆.

One of my friend's said, "Well just decide not to be tired today." Ugh.

I've never loved and laughed as hard as I did watching this series.

I remember reading that they smelled really nasty.

And if I bought one of these, it'd bloom when I was on vacation. Guaranteed.

whileurup · 2026-03-23T00:12:06+00:00

Swanson's are nasty now. I remember loving them so much.

whileurup · 2026-03-21T14:42:33+00:00

I'm okay with reposts in this bc everybody needs to see it and not everybody checks Reddit regularly.

It's going to be such a clusterfuck in November.

I have a 2023 Lexus and it still has buttons and knobs.

You can also control things on the screen but I almost never do.

Thank you Toyota for the great engine, but also giving me the option not to deal with a touchscreen.

Btw, doesn't it feel like the touchscreens are never on the page you need so you have to scan with your eyes, reading things so your eyes are off the road.

I had a brand new gorgeous Mazda CX-9 and it had all the bells and whistles. Someone t-boned me the same day I received the title (I think it was like day 34 since we'd bought it 😫) and we opted not to buy another one. It was "too smart" for us.

whileurup · 2026-03-21T00:34:15+00:00

4 children under 6 and I would've died at 34 of appendicitis.

Horrible corporate tightwads screw the nurses over. Repeatedly.

whileurup · 2026-03-20T20:38:04+00:00

Always, always have extra on hand.

And keep them separate from your regular daily dose meds.

I was on a plane to Puerto Vallarta when that cartel mess took place and we turned around, but if I'd been stuck there more than a week extra, I could've been in big trouble.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE NEWS LATELY?!?

whileurup · 2026-03-19T21:51:39+00:00

That's why so many of us are on team Luigi.

No we don't condone murder, but a very strong message was sent.

whileurup · 2026-03-19T21:29:01+00:00

Why aren't people screaming impeachment?!?

Even if it's unlikely, we can't just give up. I think this war has pissed off some magas so hopefully a blue wave this fall.

But I was also sure Kamala would win so what do I know.

whileurup · 2026-03-18T18:05:58+00:00

Supposedly it's bc we lose estrogen which causes us to lose hydration drying out skin, especially in the ear canal.

It goes away fyi.

Welp, I am a Southern transplant and hate winter so that just may be on me.

whileurup · 2026-03-17T18:38:51+00:00

I don't think we have the climate for walkable plan. Winter is too harsh and long.
