sorry to hear your problem ,
please take steroid very precisely, as low dose as possible.excessive dose of steroids cause side effects,but in addisons if you use minimal possible ( you are replacing only)dose it doesnot cause any side effects.
check your sugars maintain normal levels, also check calcium and thyroid profile also.
