I don't know anything about Addison's either, just had a sudden low b.p., probably due to dehydration, and started a web search.
They say it goes with underactive, hypothyroidism, and funguses, like nail fungus I guess, and diabetes.
I guess your doctor's told you not to ever go off Prednizone abruptly. My father did when he was 67, had been taking it for years for emphysema, had a heart attack on a trip and the strange doctor should have known, as most patients get told, not to quit it suddenly.
I'm really afraid of cortizones.
Just found out diabetes is greatly helped by eating 3 or 4 raw green beans and 2 or 3 stalks of raw asparagus a day. It's working wonders for me in less than a week. Sure hope the girl in the doctor's ofc who told me that doesn't get fired or something if he finds out. Since you have Addison's, I'm guessing you may have diabetes also.
Side effects of the different meds can be keyword searched on the web. I've been having arm muscle pain and figured it could have been from too much glucophage. Waiting to see what develops now.
