Managing Addison's disease leaflet
The leaflet, Managing
Addison's disease, has been developed for the ADSHG by
our Clinical Advisory Panel, led by Professor John Wass. It
provides a summary of the key points everyone with Addison's
needs to know to manage their health.
The leaflet was designed
primarily to assist those recently diagnosed and is ideal
for hospitals and endocrinology units to give to their
Addison's patients. Read

Medical Questions & answers
Being diagnosed with Addison's can
often be a confusing, scary and sometimes drawn out
process. Here we look at your question about being
diagnosed and also the causes of Addison's.
We
suggest that you should always consult your doctor about
your symptoms and treatment; they know the details of your
medical history.
As far
as possible, the information given in these pages reflects
best practice within the UK regarding medication and medical
care. This may differ from the approach adopted in other
countries. Please be aware that endocrinologists do not
agree in all respects as to what is best practice in the
diagnosis and care of Addison's disease, either within the
UK or internationally. Where the ADSHG becomes aware of
significant divergences we will seek comment from adrenal
specialists, but cannot guarantee that we will be able to
represent all points of view.
