Morning,
after a nice coincidence on another thread, I wonder if anyone else here has Addisons or AI
how are you coping in the heat?
in fact, how are you coping altogether!
all hints & tips & whinges & moans & supportive stuff is welcome here
(& also I cba sorting my punctuation errors, so please don’t feel you have to be immaculate - any old typing is a good thing!)

I have Addisons. Diagnosed 2017 and have a lot of other autoimmune issues too including lupus and Sjogrens etc etc. Finding the heat difficult and having to updose to cope with days out etc - well, I say days out but I’m struggling to get out much to be honest! It’s hard at times, isn’t it.

The facebook group here is a really helpful, supportive place if people aren’t aware of it -

I’m already in that group, you’re right - it’s so supportive & informative.

Have you ever had a crisis? I’m SAI and so far have been lucky enough to have avoided one, though have come close on a few occasions.
Do you often have symptoms of deep exhaustion? I’m in the middle of one at the moment & it’s dragging on for a few days.
