Addison's Disease

I have Addison's Disease aka Adrenal Insufficiency. I have been trying to come to terms with the impact it has had on my life. I don't think any person in my life knows what this is like for me on a daily basis. I myself would like to forget but I can't because it hits me in the face as soon as I wake up each morning and I have to take my Prendisone. For the next hour I am queasy. Ideally I would take it with food but I also take my Synthroid as the same time and I need to take that on an empty stomach. So I pop my little pile of pills and grin and bear it, knowing they literally keep me alive. The Prendisone itself is such a bitter pill - in so many ways.
