Hi people I was diagnosed with Addisons recently and started taken Hydrocortisone a month ago. Since then my toenails have got really thin and are splitting down. It is getting painful and I am worried they might rip off. Has anyone had this too? And help or suggestions what to go would be amazing!

No, I never had the problems you mention with my toe nails. I do not think it is a symptom of Addison's disease.

I've been diagnosed with Addison's in October of 2018 and I've been a hydrocortisone since then. I also had a problem with my toenails and I never did before. This is hard disease to understand because only you know your body better than anybody else and how it responds with or without the hydrocortisone. So if you feel like your body needs extra hydrocortisone when you're sick we're stressed out don't hesitate to take extra.
