hello everybody,my 17 year old daughter has just been diagnosed with addisons disease after years and years of suffering, doctors told us she could be anorexic but we all knew 100% it was not about body image she just could not eat through severe anxiety her puberty was delayed and at 13 she struggled to reach 5 stone, it has been heartbreaking for us all over the years but as a family we all stayed as strong as we could, my daughter is now on steroids for life which was a real shock to us cos we had never heard of addisons or cortisol or anything at all related to it but we made every effort to get informed about it all. she is now so much better in herself except she has got very high blood pressure which is not typical of addisons so is now having to undertake lots of scans and tests to see what is causing the high BP, does anybody have addisons and high BP we would be very interested to hear from you thankyou x
