Addison’s Disease
Like many other diseases, Addisons is just one more that hardly any of us understand or know of-
This disease is life threatening for so many so hopefully my info will give you some insight into one person’s world-
The Disease:
NO adrenal glands –(stop producing cortisone)
NO electrolytes
NO hormones
These are all gone!!
Some suffer pigmentation of the skin (artificial suntan)
Often the person suffers salt cravings which is usually related to their blood pressure being too low
Feeling of faintness
Have appetite but food does not digest once eaten
Some people suffer ‘phantom’ tummy pain
What to Watch for:
Passing out and /or Speech impairment
CALL AMBULANCE IMMEDIATELY!
