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

Has anyone seen anything from Vanyel or Gash? It has been months since either one has posted. I hope they are both well and just not in need of the support.

I haven't seen them in months. I hope all is well with both of them.

I met Gash through our doctor earlier this year. She's doing awesome! She's working on healing her body through diet and she's done an amazing job thus far! Her Vitiligo is almost completely re-pigmented on her face and I remember her saying something about being able to cut her steroids in half and something about being on the lowest dose of thyroid medication she's ever been on. I'm very blessed I met her! She really has done the leg work to learn about our disease and find alternatives.

I know she ran into some issues with some of the facebook support group with moderators not liking her "alternative" suggestions so she closed down all her accounts. If you would like to get in contact with her, give me your email and I'll pass it to her.

That's a shame that people were negative to her. It's worth trying every approach to handle this thing. I do some of both alternative and traditional, and it helps make me feel a little bit back in control. I am glad to hear she is doing so well.
