Addison's Disease: Tired of being tired

I’ve had Addison’s since 1979. I am taking hydrocortisone, 10 mg morning, plus 5 at lunch and 5 at supper. I also take fludrocortisone 0.5 mg every other day. This seems to work for me. I have a fairly good energy level for being 76 and used to work 50 hour weeks when I was still working. I only need to see my endochronologist once a year. I definitely need extra cortisone when I am sick. Hope this is helpful.

Addison's wins

Hi, @judy5140 -- wanted to touch base and see how things are going with your Addison's?

You'd mentioned having a fairly good energy level for being 76 years old. Wondering if you'd have any tips for keeping your energy level up?
