Addison's Disease is a relatively rare and serious chronic illness affecting about 50,000 persons in the USA and Canada. It is incurable and dangerous, but the disease can be managed in such a way that the person affected can lead a full and worthwhile life. The author has been diagnosed and has lived with Addison's disease and provides the reader with simple, straightforward, and usable information, free of technical jargon, that will answer questions about diet, lifestyle, exercise, medications, handling relationships, and managing symptoms (and much else) that every "Addisonian" needs to know.
This book is not intended to replace the advice of one's physician or other healthcare provider but is a useful adjunct to professional advice and guidance.
