Is it advisable to do exercise when affected by Addison Disease? Which activities would you suggest and how intense should they be?
Exercise with Addison Disease: which activities patients recommend or avoid, and what the evidence says.
Exercise is recommended but must be managed very closely to limit undue physical stress (we cannot produce extra cortisol to respond to physical stress) and dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. Because of the lack of vitamin D, lack of natural cortisol, lack of androgens and other factors we are at an elevated risk of osteoporosis. Weight-bearing exercise can reduce this risk. Regular exercise can also help reduce weight gain prevalent in Addison's patients and possibly reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.

You can exercise but pay attention to what your body is telling you. Too much strain could be an issue

With proper medical care and training I have been able to do most activities. I am much better with low impact exercises tho

It is not advised to decrease activity in any way. A person may need to adjust their dose of cortisol to allow extra 'energy' when exercising, however for others this may be unnecessary.

Yes, but when starting increase meds for the first few days. Any exercise activity is fine
