What You Don't See with Addison's Disease

Jill Battle | JUL 4, 2024

What you don't see with Addison's Disease.

Last night around 4:30 am I was jolted awake by an inner force I am cannot describe.

A force that has thrown me into conscious more times then I can count.

As I opened my eyes I recognized that overwhelming feeling of doom and death in my body.

My soul was on hanging with everything it could.

The lights were still on as I had 'passed' into my Addison's paralyzing coma state when I went to bed.I

was going to take extra meds when I got into bed, but I was unconscious before it possible.

I rolled out of bed to go the washroom.

Another sign my body is on the verge of death is when I go to the washroom and there is not strength to hold my head up.I sat.

Resting my head in my hands. I sat. Wondering how I was going to get back into bed.I willed myself to return to bed and take my extra meds I keep bedside.

Although completely exhausted.My body will not sleep.

Although completely exhausted.My body is scared to close its eyes.

Although completely exhausted.My body stays awake to stay alive.

This is why I fight everyday to be Chronically Fit.

To wake up the next day and fight again!
