Addison's Disease

Addison's Disease is a rare autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the adrenal glands, which are small organs located on top of the kidneys. These glands produce hormones that regulate important functions, including metabolism, blood pressure, and stress response. As a result, people with Addison's may experience symptoms like extreme fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, and skin changes. The condition can be serious but is manageable with hormone replacement therapy, helping to restore the balance of hormones the body needs to function properly. Regular medical care is essential for maintaining health.
