New to the group

Hi, I’m Sophie - I have Addisons disease (among other things) but that is my only autoimmune condition, fingers crossed it stays that way.
I’m hoping to chat with other people who know the struggles we face 😊

RA: my autoimmune journey

I was diagnosed with RA two years ago. It is responding well to the Humira and Methotrexate treatments that my Rheumatologist has prescribed for it. Before this diagnosis, I had been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia for 23 years. I think that I have had the RA for awhile, but between Covid and a Rheumy who was retiring soon and had lost interest, it wasn’t diagnosed until the new Rheumatologist took my case after Covid. She caught it immediately and I am so grateful to God and to her for my diminishing symptoms. #Fibromyalgia #RheumatoidArthritis #Diabetes #AddisonsDisease #GERD #Osteoarthritis #Anxiety #ChronicIllness #ChronicPain

Addison's disease

I am wondering if taking meds before getting up would help with fatigue. Cortisol is highest before waking so I wonder if mimicking this would keep me from having to drag myself out of bed. Since Addison's is only part of my problem it might only help some times. Has anyone else tried this?

Mourning Life Before Diagnosis

Mourning Life Before Diagnosis #AddisonsDisease

I hope this provides some understanding and encouragement for others who are struggling with a life changing diagnosis - in my case Addison’s Disease.
