Hi i was on here about a month agao but i got so unwell.
I recently been an inpatient again at hospital following another Addison’s crises 4 week ago.
I am extremely concerned how unwell ia m. I was discharged from hospital and since then has been lying in bed and is to weak, giddy and fatigued to lift own head, walk, go to the toilet by myslef and wash and have intense brain fog where finding it difficult to think clearly this was very bad for 3 weeks and I stayed at my mums. Im now back home and those symptoms have improved a bit. I have never been so unwell and I am extremely concerned and upset. Im having constant panick attacks and brain fog and anxiety, im crying and a complete mess. I keep feeling frezzing cold and shivering and have to get into a hot bath and I cannot work out sometimes what my gran is trying to say to me. My mum wants to put me on prozak and now the father of my children wants them to live with him, hes trying to organise it, im so scared and desperate, I cant even think clearly due to the brianfog and panic attacks...please help me .. my most recent tests are.. im not sure if I posted these before sorry im so fogged
