Everyone with Addison’s disease sometimes gets too little cortisol in their body. For some reason, the body has become stressed and needed more cortisone. If you have not been prepared or aware of the stress, you can become sickly tired because our cortisol has been used up. This fatigue is so extreme and exhausting that you basically become paralyzed. The energy to do something is not there and can only be lifted by adding extra cortisone.

Being in the situation makes you feel powerless, paralyzed for action and is quite similar to low blood sugar in a diabetic when it comes to stamina.

Feel free to write and tell us about how you experience this exhaustion!
