Addison's Disease Support Group
Addison's disease (also known as chronic adrenal insufficiency, or hypocortisolism) is a rare endocrine disorder. It is estimated that it affects about 1 to 2 in 100,000 people. It occurs when the adrenal glands, seated above the kidneys, fail to produce enough of the hormone cortisol and, sometimes, the hormone aldosterone
I have AD and I'm 63 so it's not my time for the vaccine. My question is is it safe to take if you have Addisons Disease. I'm assume it's fine. I appreciate your reply
However, if you stilk want to take a chance I would check with your doctor.
I have Primary Adrenal Insufficiency, 50 yrs w Type 1 Diabetes, Hashimotos, Chronic Lyme's, Tachycardia plus a pile of other diseases. I did tons of research and spoke to several medical specialists about the safety of this vaccine. I have been shown it is that it has been proven safe for people like me. The vaccine is CERTAINLY much safer than to take the chance of getting covid itself!!! If I were to get covid I more would likely suffer miserably and die alone and more miserable. The very minor risks of this vaccine are a million times better than getting covid!!! Too many people have died and continue to die bcuz they chose to listen to misinformation and believe it. That is very sad. It's a simple life or death decision, in my opinion. My physicians ALL recommended all 3 doses plus a flu shot. Please consult with your doctor before making any decisions.
