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. Let the loss of my boy Meko remind us all of the importance of being prepared for our own emergencies and being prepared and setting boundaries when we are dealing with an emergency situation. I am also left with some important questions to ask my family doctor to understand how my body responds in acute stress situations.

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"

13 years ago I was given my second chance at life when I was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. There were a lot I had of things I had NO IDEA about what I was going to learn on this journey. I had no idea about the lack of support and guidance I would receive and the struggles I would continue to face. There were a lot of other things I had NO IDEA about what this 13-year journey would teach me. No matter what mountains you have to climb, or the battles you are facing...there is a choice to make. I made a choice and I found the support, guidance and hope I needed to thrive in life with Addison's Disease.

This week was my 13th Anniversary of officially being diagnosed with Addison's Disease. 13 years ago I was given an answer to my health issues and a second chance at life. There have been many 'HIGHLIGHTS' over the last 13 years and I tell them honestly from my GAME CHANGER MOMENTS TO the MOST RIDICULOUS THINGS said to me by healthcare professionals (and my responses), my SCARIEST MOMENTS and the BEST MOMENTS. It has been a journey full of the unknown, full of fear, full of hope, and full of strength I never knew I had.
