I'm here because an *endocrinologist* just tried to take me off prednisone. I told her I'm pretty sick from being on only 6.5mg, and think I need more. She said I'm fine and don't even need a follow-up! Thing is.. she's my 6th endo and one of the best I've found. Why is it like this? And yeah, in the ER they usually try to withhold steroids, disregard my Medicalert bracelet, it's a mess. I've had to sneak my own hydrocortisone out of my bag.

Realy I think they are excellents

@@howtomeetwomen- I understand completely! It's not only frustrating, but dangerous. I carry an article with me that I printed to try to open their eyes. Even my PCP said she knew practically nothing about Addison's. Very disheartening.

Doctors don't know everything, ffs. lol.

@@atheistleopard618 F U atheist idiot.

@@d.indira7548 when I am ill and by body of fighting an infection then I am required to double my daily dose of hydrocortisone. This drives my blood sugar levels up so it is very difficult to manage my type 1 diabetes when I am doubling my steroid dosage.

This was two years ago but my two year old just got diagnosed. I’m looking for a support group but can’t find one for children

Pw.

Rip

Thank u so much for the appreciation

Can you get Adrenal fatigue from head trauma? And have weight gain? Because this has been my experience but no diagnosis. In fact, the endocrinologist told me there’s no way I could have adrenal fatigue or failure because I was overweight. I think I was overweight because I couldn’t move for years and ate to feel better. (Which didn’t work ) Now I take adaptagenic herbs,Cordyseps mushrooms, vitamins and freeze dried cow Adrenals (found at the health food store) and I can at least function on some level. But without these I can’t function at all. The Video was very helpful though. Thanks

@@shaek6820 No such thing as Adrenal "Fatigue". Ask your Endocrinologist to perform a morning ACTH Stimulation test. Have an Addison's antibody test done. Get imaging done of your Pituitary & Adrenal Glands. Yes, u can develop Adrenal Insufficiency if your Pituitary or Adrenals were damaged by trauma/hemorrhage/infection. These tests will confirm whether u have Adrenal Insufficiency (AI) or not and need lifelong steroids. It will also differentiate whether u have Primary or Secondary AI.

+rawan naj HaHa. Thank you raj for bringing it to notice..

Adrenal hormones given artificially

Indeed, I actually have this disease and I need to take hydrocortisol as a medine 3 times a day. Since I have started taking the hormones, starting 3 weeks ago, I have felt healthier than ever. Of course, I cannot say yet how it will develop.

+Freny Vaghela Sure. We will try our best

It depends upon the Severity of adrenal faliure. Also different females have different response

@Margo Lockweeze Feelings about our health are subject to manipulation. Doctors are not scientists, and science has become politicized. Doctors probably use an arbitrary standard to make you a regular customer once you are a believer. It's not their fault... Good Will Hunting

thank you DR Rorpopor herbal on KZfaq for helping me to cure my herpes totally, thank you DR Rorpopor herbal on KZfaq

First maybe bc of loss of fluid Second bc cortisol causes high glucose level in blood >high insulin > target adipocyte to accumulate more fat molecules with time this will cause glucose intolerance >insulin resistance No Gluconeogenesis means no glucose in blood no insulin

Atindrila Dey There is no known cure unfortunately and a patient can lead a relatively normal life but this is achieved with various medications it stops adrenal crisis from happening which can be fatal I hope this helps you with your question

there will be a cure SOMEDAY IVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST 19 YRS NOW READ ALL KINDS OF STORYS ABOUT CURES I THINK THERE WILL BE

@@ekop1778 thanks for sharing your story. What is your quality of life if you don’t mind me asking? Also has it affected your vision?

+opium latex i don't think so

Nuwanda usually sex hormones are not affected

Adrenal gland is not the primary source of sex hormones.Testes and ovaries are the main source.So even if adrenal gland is insufficient the ovaries and testes compensate the losses of sex hormones.

Don't get too attached to labels, and don't be manipulated by so-called "authority figures". Do your own research, and heal yourself. You don't want to be a regular patient in the medical mill. Check out Pam Popper. I realize she's a little older, but oh well, think of her as a loving grandmother with a lot of wisdom. Good luck.

Hi, if you don’t mind me asking how old are you now? Do you lead a normal life? Has this affected your vision? Are you on a medication? Sorry I’m asking all these questions but thank you and wish you all the best

Medically anorexia just means loss of appetite. 'Anorexia nervosa' is the mental health condition where people dont eat due to perceived body image issues, but we have come to refer to that as just anorexia in daily life.

Please..read medical books...there are millions of causes or anorexyia and catchexia.....besides mental, physical

Some " anorexics" are suffering from a form of addisons disorder....try to keep up...the class is starting now
