The Addison’s Disease Self-Help Group, with the support and guidance of its Clinical Advisory Panel, publishes education materials for people with Addison's and their medical team regarding the treatment and management of Addison's. 

 
We try to make all our educational materials available here on our website, subject to copyright.  In general, our materials may be copied by individuals for their own use, or by medical practitioners for use with their patients.  Any other usages require the written permission of the ADSHG.
