Bad idea. Simple enough drive, except road construction got me confused and I got lost and turned around so many times I never thought I would make it home. I did end up swallowing some extra meds to keep me going. I never heard the term "adrenaline dump" before, but I sure know that feeling. Glad you finished your trip without any major incidents. <br />mo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552096949367672941.post-87631062365425062572012-03-04T06:28:20.295-06:002012-03-04T06:28:20.295-06:00Funny, I get most of those tingles/shocks while dr...Funny, I get most of those tingles/shocks while driving as well. I also get them when confronted with "less pleasant" people or situations in life. This just gets more interesting as I go along.Reginanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552096949367672941.post-14027880125479271412012-03-03T17:58:27.250-06:002012-03-03T17:58:27.250-06:00"thought" is "though"

The shock/tingle feel...That is exactly what I feel. The shock/tingle feeling can then be followed by other symptoms. The problem with my trip is that the curving road had me experiencing regular dumps, I guess because I could not see the road well due to lack of lighting and the rain. So, the dumps kept happening. I've never had so many in such a short period of time...back to back. I definitely got a chance to feel them over and over. It was horrible. I never imagined that driving could provoke Addison's issues, the high stress of driving under such bad conditions was not good for my condition, not good at all. You described the sensation perfectly thought. I didn't know how to put the actual "adrenaline dumps" into words. The "sudden shock/tingle sensation" is very accurate. Yes, this disease can indeed put us into situations that are not so blatantly headed our directions with bells on, the sneakiness is something that I still try to figure out beforehand, but life seems to always give us a knew lesson around the corner. <br /><br />I hope you are doing well Regina.<br /><br />Lanawww.FindingLana.blogspot.comhttp://www.findinglana.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552096949367672941.post-23681699742253051872012-03-03T17:29:46.509-06:002012-03-03T17:29:46.509-06:00Lana, I'm slowly learning what you mean by how...Lana, I'm slowly learning what you mean by how sneaky this disease is. Thanks for sharing. What do adrenaline dumps feel like for you? I get a sudden shock/tingle sensation through my body accompanied with a sinking stomach feeling. I have been wondering what this is.Regina Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552096949367672941.post-28343867917462874172012-03-02T13:18:32.777-06:002012-03-02T13:18:32.777-06:00Ian --- Thank you for your encouragement...I see p...Ian --- Thank you for your encouragement...I see people around me every day who are surviving with serious illness and I want to be honest about what it's like to live with such issues. It's not easy, but I keep going.<br /><br />Michael --- It's great to hear from you. I know what you mean about driving being no big deal, once upon a time, but now it turns into a night-mare that is dangerous to my health. It is still shocking to me sometimes when I find out how delicate my condition can be, without warning. I was devastated about this inability to make this drive because the drive is to my oldest daughter's house. I cannot express how devastating it had been that the "simple" drive that I'd once been able to make years and years ago had transformed into a scary event that put my life in danger. I wish I had the magic answers to everything, but taking extra meds is our only solution. We hope that will be enough to keep the monster at bay. I'm sorry you experience the same thing, but I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you letting me know that this is also a problem for you.<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552096949367672941.post-70210246641405318802012-03-02T10:19:54.180-06:002012-03-02T10:19:54.180-06:00Lana, I found early on with AI that driving was a ...Lana, I found early on with AI that driving was a particularly stressful activity. For me, 4 hours of driving used to be no big deal. Now I know that a 1 or 2 hour drive could really fatigue me. I usually take 5 mg of hydrocortisone per hour of driving. Everyone is different of course, but driving is definitely an issue for me.when the musics overhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16266298848244629919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-552096949367672941.post-34291551021513595812012-03-01T15:49:05.591-06:002012-03-01T15:49:05.591-06:00Lana, I had no idea what this disease could do, un...Lana, I had no idea what this disease could do, until I started following your blog.
