Addison's Disease / Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome

That happens to me every time I work out. I've asked others about it but have never gotten a response. I get freezing cold if it's hot or cold out, even after a lengthy HOT shower I'm still shivering and have goose bumps. Then I get so sleepy I usually end up taking an hour or more nap. I work out but try to keep it at a lower pace so this doesn't happen but that doesn't do much for my fitness level. Does anyone know why this happens?0

Hello I have had Addison Disease for 24 yrs( all my life really, just how long I have been diagnosed), took them 17 months to diagnose me and been on Cortef, and have many other health issues... I wish I would have know what I do now back then,. But was wondering how you were doing now. I just happen to see you post on here. Hope all is well and life is treating you kind.

I highly doubt you had Addison's for 40 years. And you cannot treat Addison's naturally if it's really Addison's. Addison's is not a joke and you need to take care of yourself. I have had Addison's Disease for 24 years and have been a weight lifter hockey player and runner. Key is education and self awareness and keep moving.
Adrenal fatigue syndrome is real and you probably can treat it homeopathically. I always recommend exercise. It doesn't have to be a lot1 -

I saw the thread, I read the thread. Often I post on threads without looking at the date of the op. Why criticize her for it? Unless I am wrong, your one sentence reads very sarcastically.1 -
I don't have Addisons but I am really disturbed at how many of you had to do your own diagnoses/research and insist the doctors test for it.
It's no such thing as take the doctors word for it. We really have to do our own research now. I've experienced this when my son was admitted to the ICU one year
Sorry for going off topic.
This! It's a shame. I went through it for years before my hashimotos diagnosis too. Even with a multi nodule goiter and family history of thyroid disease they only checked my tsh until I insisted on a full panel.0 -
Of course addisons is a real disease, it's rare but it's real
Adrenal fatigue syndrome isn't
And homeopathy is a crock but can often be a decent placebo and in many situations that's more than enough. Particularly with a made up disease

Because they are addressing something that 4 years after the fact is pretty irrelevant. They're not adding to the discussion of Addison's, just criticising an OP who should, 4 years down the line, have a grip on their diagnosis or found out it was something else by this point.
They then went on to advocate for homeopathically treating adrenal fatigue. That whole sentence is full of nope.0 -
I have addisons and take daily cortisol replacement, by logging every morsel in the my fitness pal app I lost 30 pounds from January - June of this year and I've maintained my weight loss. Now it really mattered to me, so I stuck to a 1,000 calorie a day diet through obsessive tracking but since losing, I've reduced my cortisol intake and feel better than I have in years.0
