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 just read my messages from DS (Sept 2012 message) DS has stopped sending alerts in September due to problems. They are working on it.... Just so you know if someone doesn't reply. They most likely haven't seen any messages. :-(
I haven't heard a thing from her. We used to talk a lot, and she was so great. I hope nothing has happened to her. I've thought of her often.
How are you?

Pink Smurf, I'm great, thank you!!! I've even lost a few pounds (a very few) which makes me feel better. My biggest health problems seem to be silent ones...I don't realize that I'm dehydrated until my blood work shows up as CKD Stage 1 (or at least I hope that is the cause). I can't get my sodium up to normal levels eating tons of salt and taking salt tablets daily. Howver, I rarely cramp these days, and that's a wonderful thing. A diuretic keeps my potassium in check and has made my bp even better. I'm very fortunate. I wish the same for all of you.
Someone want to PM me her email address and if you know her last name I can do some research to confirm hopefully she hasn't passed away.
