Also, I was diagnosed with EDS hypermobiliy a defective collagen gene, stretchy muscles. This means the support of major muscles are weak. Resulting in double knee replacements two years ago. It also causes the valve in the center of my heart to be weak.
Currently I take seven different medications daily. That is because I refuse to take arthritis medication or it would be more.
One thing so can say for certain is the most difficult period was in my early 50's due to menopause, which occurred at 52. Remember that when menopause occurs that's another hormone we are functioning without.
Addison's disease causes depression. just the aching of the body year after year gets a person down. I take 30mg of dux.., oh well doesn't matter, for decal years now, but I didn't need it until the change.
Oh, I also have Dupatrens Contracture in both hands. This means my lady three fingers on each had draw up , the tendons in the center of my hands have to be clipped/ cut every 3/4 years.
So you see, do people inherit all the good stuff and some do not. That's just how it is.
Hang in there and take care

I googled Addison's disease an clicked on the Mayo Clinic website. It appears they have updated it, lots more information, but now it appears to be written detailing the illness and providing more bullet points.
You might be able to look the definition/details of the disease on their site. Write and tell me how it goes.
Good luck tomorrow
