ADSHG Newsletter 084 - June 2006
By ADSHG
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 84, June 2006
Welcome to the summer newsletter for the ADSHG. Our exciting summer news is the launch of the Addison’s rose, Our Beth, at Chelsea on 22 May. This new rose from Peter Beales Roses is available thanks to a bequest from the Loasby family. Peter Beales Roses are making 10% of all sales proceeds available to the ADSHG in memory of their staff member, Beth Loasby, who had Addison’s and diabetes. We hope the gardeners among you will find a corner somewhere for this lovely rose, which will be available mail order from autumn 2006, as you can read on page 3.

ADSHG Newsletter 083 - March 2006
By ADSHG
Addison's Disease Self Help Group newsletter, issue 83, March 2006
Welcome to the spring 2006 newsletter for the ADSHG. The year got off to a promising start for everyone with Addison’s, when we heard that our submission to the English ambulance regulatory body had been accepted. You may find it surprising, but at present, ambulance crews in many parts of the country do not carry hydrocortisone and those who do, are not permitted to administer it for the prevention of adrenal crisis. This is a reflection of the rarity of our condition - in the past those drawing up the regulations for ambulance crews and paramedics had overlooked our needs. However, the situation will gradually improve from April 2006 onwards, as you can read on page 4 of this newsletter.
