Adrenal gland disorder, anyone BTDT or know someone?
I found out in late January I have an adrenal gland disorder, thats all I really know. Yesterday I went to the dr. to have bloodwork drawn to check my levels.
I am taking hydrocortisone 10 mg with breakfast and 5 mg at dinner. My seizures have stopped and my thyroid levels are now within normal range but I am still so completely, utterly exhausted all the time.
I did google and read up on it when I first found out, I felt alot better the first 2-2.5 weeks on the meds but then it was like my body just slid back into the chronic fatigue mode again. I am just so sick and tired of being sick and tired. This has taken a huge toll on my mental health, I feel so worthless, I've been this way since around last summer. This all just stinks.
Any advice deeply appreciated, if it were not for my wonderful boys sometimes I think I would just jump off a bridge!
Sorry to be such a Debbie Downer
