Severe reactions to all diff. kinds of steroids. other options for treating addison's? vitamin/mineral suppl., compounds, natural treatments ?

Whoa: If you truly have Addison's, your life depends on your getting a low dose of a glucocoricoid. You make these naturally and if you're having a "reaction", the problem may be with the dose. I see that you are also taking methotrexate -- very seriou stuff -- and lidocaine patches. You need a relationship with a physician who you can trust and who can work carefully with you.

Needs a good team: You will want to build a good team with your primary care physician, your endocrinologist and your rheumatologist or oncologist. Make small changes one at a time and be sure that your team knows what your side effects and reactions are. Medications need to be adjusted carefully. A wellness regimen of diet, sleep and exercise can also help you to have a better sense of well-being. Good luck.
