Hi guys an update with my hypos. The
hypos were ok for a long time nearly 4
months without a hypo. Then got stressed
out at work and started having them again.
Today I have been told I have addisons
disease which causes hypos.
Anyway my question is my specialist
advised me to drink weight gain shakes to
help me because im a very active person to
dink inbetween the morning mill and
lunchtime meal as I become very hungry and
sick. I just want to know if you guys
feel it is ok to do this?

As long as they don't contain sugar or
sweeteners than can effect you, which
unfortunately most of them do. Addison's
is an extremely rare disease, are the
doctors certain of this?

They are not 100% sure that this is what
it is but the symptoms suggest that it is.
However I do not have severe weight loss
I have always weighed a little over 6stone
and have never been able to gain weight.
Im a very sporty person and thought id try
the protein shakes. My only other resort
is illegal steriods but I dont think ill
go there but have been very temptead.
Anything you could suggest with the weight
gain? Cheers stan

Well, weight gain is only really possible
when you're eating more carbohydrates than
you should along with fat/protein. You
may find luck increasing your fat intake.
