Chronicle of an illness with Addison's: Adjusting meds for illness

Quick rundown:

• Monday - pain, itching from pain meds, exhaustion, pain, no short term memory what so ever
• Tuesday - pain, itching, exhaustion, pain
• Wednesday - no pain, cautiously optomistic, did desk work
• Thursday - no pain, back to caretaking, meetings and driving all around
• Friday - no pain, tired and healed enough to take a weekend vacation

In case you're curious, I haven't run since Wednesday 4/8/09.  Today I did a little 1.5 mile jog.  I'm still tired.

Med adjustments in chart below.  Remember, I'm no doctor and I don't recommend that you do anything I do.  I am just sharing what I did.  I go by symptoms and judge whether or not I think my exhaustion is reasonable considering my situation or unreasonable and because of Addison's.  If I feel really bad tonight or in the next few days, I will not hesitate to take extra hydrocortisone.
