This is the MOST frustrating challenge I have with living with ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is the F WORD of Addison's Disease.

Dealing with a STATIC dose of medication in a world that is forever changing and every moment it takes a bit more cortisol leads to a crippling existence of low cortisol symptoms. Living in an illness lacking the tools to measure my critical LIFE SUSTAINING CORTISOL levels I am left to fend for myself based on physical symptoms.

This is my perspective on how it feels living with the F WORD of Addison's Disease.

At one point Dawn from a small town in Alberta couldn't walk to the end of her driveway without being winded. She has now conquered her diagnosis in 2020 with secondary adrenal insufficiency and now walks thousands of kilometres a year.

Dawn's secondary adrenal insufficiency was caused by the removal of a pituitary tumour that was producing ACTH hormone. But her journey started years before SAI with a life full of illness, steroids, autoimmune disorders, asthma and migraines.

She has learned to set boundaries, manage her medication, improve her overall wellness and live a life with SAI.

SAI is not stopping Dawn from living her life and she is ready to conquer any challenge SAI gives her.

Kevin's journey with ADDISON'S DISEASE starting at day 1 is far from typical.

Everything from his symptoms to diagnosis and the amazing things he has accomplished since diagnosis Kevin will leave you re-evaluating your disease management, leave you with a list of questions for your medical team and have you setting higher standards for your quality of life.

While most diagnosed with adrenal insufficiency fight for years with medical doctors not recognizing the symptoms, Kevin was fortunate enough to have an endocrinologist who quickly did a complete series of tests, including the ACTH stimulation test and discovered this UNWELL man had ADDISON'S DISEASE.

It was a 10-year progression of a slow decline in health as exercise recovery time increased, daily living became a struggle and Kevin's "LIFE GOT SMALL"

Having led a full active lifestyle with regular exercise, Kevin and his new wife started a slow and steady process of learning how to manage his medication with his active levels.

Disease management, planning, proper recovery, and common sense built Kevin's confidence to accomplish amazing things with Addison's Disease. Kevin is now in his mid-50s and with a supportive wife runs marathons.
