Hi,
After being very well last autumn (ended up in intensive care after getting a urine infection...), and many many tests, we have found out that I have Addison's disease, and autoimmune condition where the body attacks the adrenal gland, eventually leaving you with no adrenal response. This is pretty scary, as I will be steroid-dependent for life, and I have an elevated chance of developing other autoimmune conditions.
Anyone else out there? Would love to hear any reassurance that I will manage this.
