Hi so I’m 23 years old, when I was 21 my first crisis came and for a whole year they couldn’t diagnose what is my problem and I was fainting vomiting and had diarrhea every single day, finally after a year they diagnosed me with Addison and I started taking medication.

I take 15 mg in the morning when I wake up and another 10 mg at 05:00pm.
I started to have once a month an Addison crisis that I wake up with a urge feeling to go to the bathroom and vomit and lay down on the bed with my legs up on the wall feeling like I’m about to die. After my father makes me take my pills cause I can’t think of anything in that moment I start feeling better after an hour but feels weak for the whole day and sometimes after that day too.

I find it that the crisis happens sometimes after I eat outside or go to sleep later than usual.
I saw a lot of people here saying that they take a pill at night or having an injection medication for when the crisis happens.

Does someone here can give me advice on like what should I do or what should I ask of my endocrinologist?
