Treatment of Addison's disease is usually with replacement corticosteroids. This will control the symptoms of this disease. However, you will usually need to take these drugs for life. People often receive a combination of glucocorticoids (cortisone or hydrocortisone) and mineralocorticoids (fludrocortisone).
Your doctor will be able to prescribe these for her.

I too have addisons and am going thru menopause. Search the web for wilson's adrenal fatigue syndrome. James Wilson developed a combination of ingredients for relief of these symptoms and was recommended by my dr. Or if you have a kohls pharmacy that does compounding they make an adrenal support tablet you can get over the counter. Also recommend the book, "adrenal fatigue, the 21 st century stress syndrome" by james wilson, gives great insight into disease and supplements and diet changes that really do help with the symptoms. Good luck.

I Have had addisons disease for nearly 5 years everything should be dealt with by a doctor or endocrinologist
Please speak to your doctor
Yes for sure get her to an endrocrionologist! I have had Addisons for the past 16 years. It is a very difficult diesease to live with. Without the help of a properly trained endro! Other doctors can be very frightened to deal with people with Addisons Disease as well.
