Summer means...
Summer can mean we have to be very mindful of the state of our electrolytes. I was already needing a slight increase in my fludrocortisone probably due to the heat of summer then I began to eat all the wonderful fruits and veggies available and pow! I got into trouble before I knew what happened. Seems all the wonderful things I love are full of potassium. I am trying to watch how much I consume and drinking lots of water, either club soda or plain water. Also, watch how much caffeine you consume as it will serve as a diuretic.
This is just gentle reminder as it is on my mind of late! Summer is a wonderful season but for anyone with Addison's it has a few pitfalls we need to avoid.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!

I have just discovered your blog and have added it to my blog roll. I've had a fibre art blog for many years but just this week, I decided to start another blog where I would share about my journey with Addison's and chronic disease.

I really mind the heat as well. I'm so happy that this week, we are getting 'heat pump' installed. It adds heat in the winter and cools the air in the summer.
Welcome to the blog! I have added you blog to my reading list as well.
We have a heat pump as well and it is a life saver in the summer.
I also added your blog to my list of recommended blogs.
This is a really quality post.I find this information through Google. Great job

I've just recently been diagnosed with addison disease; I live in a small rural area so there are no specialists or really "good" doctors. My doctor is very nice but rather inadequate. It's been getting hotter and every evening I've been getting so sick and unsure why. I was only diagnosed a few weeks back this is all new to me. Thank you so much for these blogs and info, at this point I've been to the ER 4 times still haven't had a call back from some endocrinologist and am getting frustrated! I've began doing my own research and am thankful I found these blogs. Thank you sti much!
Heather, I have a FB group, Addison’s Disease Group and if you would like to join we’d love to have you. You would get interaction with others. I am the Admin, Nancy Jo
