Hi Karen,
Of late I have been finding out more and more on Addison's. It is a very insidious disease. It seems to hide behind lots of other illnesses. A lot of the time the treatment seems to be for viral ailments, which does nothing to suppress the effects of the Addison's.
The Add part of Addison's is right, as this is an illness that is continuously adding more problems to the sufferers health, both physical and mental. Ask your Dr for a ACTH stimulation test, which measures your cortisoid levels. Best Wishes
