I am still recovering from a T6 Compression fracture that occurred in December. I am on the mend and share with you all the LITTLE things I did outside of the basic medical care. Using all my resources is the reason I am recovering.

I share with you more of what happened to my almost 10-year-old Doberman Meko on Good Friday who suddenly passed away. In a high-stress situation, I was left to assess my own health status to make sure I did not go into an adrenal crisis.

MEKO.E178 - WHEN YOU ARE NOT THE EMERGENCY

https://youtu.be/AlZARvUIFZIHaving an adrenal insufficiency can lead us to NUMEROUS trips to the emergency room.

There will be times when OTHER emergencies arise that if we are not careful could put us into a CRISIS and instead of assisting the original emergency we are now part of it.

This episode was inspired by my friend Lisa who has experienced a few situations that have brought her awareness of the IMPORTANCE of managing her ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY and preventing an adrenal crisis while managing other stressful situations.

Jill and Lisa offer their TIPS of managing emergencies, setting limitations and finding a FUNCTIONAL ROLE while managing our illness.

Living with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY without question will come at a cost long term. I am living in a body that can not survive without medication every day. That medication is STEROIDS.We are PREACHED steroids are bad.

We are PREACHED to lower your steroids.

We are PREACHED it is the steroid's fault.

The steroids are saving my life EVERY DAY.

Maybe, just maybe it isn't the steroid's fault.

Maybe, just maybe it is the lack of support and knowledge of medical teams.

Maybe, just maybe it is the lack of technology for people living with adrenal insufficiency.

I am a little fired up in this one after a recent endocrinologist appointment with a doctor saying he cared about my health long term but spent less then 10 minutes with me, quickly viewed blood work and his only advice was "LOWER YOUR STEROIDS AND I WILL SEE YOU IN A YEAR"
