What Is Addison's Disease?
7. How Is Addison’s Disease Treated?
As long as your disease has not progressed to a life-threatening stage, a prescription for drugs that regulate your adrenal glands is probably going to be the first course of action. Your doctor may also prescribe glucocorticoids to lessen inflammation and hormone replacement to take over for the adrenal glands. It may also be smart to keep a corticosteroid injection on hand for emergencies.
In addition to adopting an anti-inflammation diet, lowering your stress level is particularly important. Regular meditation or yoga practice can help you keep both body and mind centered. Reach out to loved ones for emotional support, and adjust your schedule so that you aren’t overcommitted.
