Anyone else out there get symptoms of low cortisol when they eat? I was diagnosed 3 years ago with Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency. I was diagnosed 2 years ago with Myasthenia Gravis. I have had the beginnings of an Adrenal Crisis that landed me in the hospital 2X. The first one aided in my diagnosis. The second one was a freak incident after high stress, even though I was taking hydrocortisone. BOTH incidents took place after eating. To this day whenever I eat any food, (even a small snack,) I get instant pain in my limb muscles, a severe headache, weakness, and fatigue. When I am having a lot of stress or illness I will get very dizzy and shake everywhere too. It is a bit hard to separate my SAI symptoms from my MG symptoms, especially the weakness. However, I get actual pain and most Drs. still like to insist that MG doesn’t cause pain. When either condition is exasperated I go into actual paralysis in my limbs. What is the trigger? Eating of course!
Just reaching out to see if anyone else has experience with food causing symptoms or any fresh ideas…
