Today is Rare Disease Day, and Team Addison USA joins forces with individuals with Rare Disease and those affected by Addison's Disease throughout the USA & Globe.. When I was diagnosed in 1981, the incidence rate was 4 in 1 million people, and statistics have not changed significantly or tremendously since then. Individuals with Addison's disease require lifelong steroid dependence. Promoting awareness is crucial for increasing knowledge, understanding, and ultimately saving lives, enabling people to live their best lives. Having a rare condition can be challenging, and it's understandable that not everyone can relate to this journey. We hope to change this that it is more knowledgeable and understood, so you can get proper treatment and quickly when needed ..During my lifetime, I have met merely three individuals with the condition, one in person, one via video chat, and one through text. Nonetheless, the rarity of this condition fosters resilience & strength..🩵

We lost another precious beautiful soul, yesterday. A young man of only 26 years old to Addison’s Disease. He lived with his partner Matt in the UK.. His name was Ewan Bowers. He succumbed quickly to an adrenal crisis, which put him in to a fatal, cardiac arrest. Paramedics and emergency personnel worked on him for over an hour, but sadly were not able to save him. His partner, Matt is completely and utterly gutted & devastated. Not quite sure of the circumstances that led him to a sudden and quick adrenal crisis that was not able to be resolved. Team Addison USA sends all their love & heartfelt condolences to Matt and all that loved Ewan Bowers.... This is one of the major reasons, why Team Addison
USA, continues to promote awareness, so there is more knowledge out there on how to treat Addison’s disease . On how to live with it as comfortably as possible and how to prevent or avoid adrenal crisis and treat it expeditiously and properly and thoroughly.. So lives can be saved. Always remember to carry your oral meds and injectable Solucortef ( Hydrocortisone) . Stress dose always when needed . Monitor symptoms of impending adrenal crisis, call your endocrinologist and inject immediately your Solucortef and get to the ER immediately. To get immediate treatment with IV saline fluids, and IV hydrocortisone. Do not delay. Do not pass go, immediately get there for treatment and care. Have your endocrinologist call the hospital so they can prepare for your arrival and to get the proper treatment. Time is of the essence in these circumstances always.. Again Team Addison USA sends all their love to the loved ones and partner of Ewan Bowers.. Rest easy Angel , may you fly high to paradise…. Team Addison USA we promote Awareness for those effected by Addison’s Disease…🙏🫶🏻❤️

A true poem about Addison's disease

It begins in silence,
not with storms
but with a body that whispers
that something is missing.

A fatigue that does not rest,
a strength that runs away
like sand between the fingers.

Salt becomes a rescue,
shadow becomes a friend,
and every morning is a choice
to get up again.

It is a disease without applause,
without bandages, without visible wounds,
but it shapes every step
and every breath.

Yet it is borne with courage,
in the hidden, in the everyday,
by people who learn
to live with two hearts –
the healthy one, and the one that struggles.

And in that struggle there is a truth:
that strength is not always seen,
but always felt.

Team Addison USA we want to be your voice so you can break though the barriers of the silence of being misunderstood or judged unfairly or not getting the most efficient care and respect… So the people you love understand.. So you are protected in the workplace or workforce.. That you are getting the proper treatment & diagnosis and expert and absolutely efficient emergency services always when needed..We promote Awareness not for accolades, our primary focus is to never loose someone unnecessarily for not getting the proper treatment and without delay … We want BETTER outcomes and living your absolute best! 💙

Many friends and relatives of people with Addison’s disease don’t really know what the diagnosis means — and some don’t seem interested in learning.
So how should we think about that?

First: Addison’s is invisible. If you don’t live with it, or love someone who does, it’s easy to underestimate it. People assume it’s “just being tired,” because that’s the only comparison they have.
Convenient, but wrong.

Second: most people only understand what affects them.
If it’s not their crisis, their emergency injection, their daily management, their life on the line — it stays abstract. And abstract things rarely get attention.

Third: it’s not our job to educate every single person who chooses not to listen.
We already carry enough.

And that’s exactly why Team Addison Global exists.
Because too many people don’t know.
Because too many people don’t care until it’s personal.
Because invisible diseases stay invisible unless someone makes noise — worldwide.

So here’s the mindset:
Focus on the ones who want to understand.
Let go of the ones who don’t.
And keep building a global movement that refuses to let silence win.

Team Addison Global isn’t here for applause.
We’re here because lives depend on awareness — whether people pay attention or not.

Autumn has officially arrived. As the season advances, we will be more inclined to stay indoors, where crowded situations and spaces are more common. This trend will intensify with the onset of winter. During this period, colds, flu, viruses, Covid, and pneumonia are more prevalent. It is essential to take precautions, including proper rest, a healthy diet, adequate fluid intake, stress management, relaxation, and proper hand hygiene. Avoiding infection and proximity to sick individuals is also crucial. Having Addison's disease complicates these illnesses, making daily steroid replacement therapy absolutely vital, indeed particularly and more so with (stress dosages)on days when other illness is present. Proper replacement is essential for optimal health control, which is our primary objective. Additionally maintaining a positive attitude is vital & hellpful for resilience and overall well-being, enabling us to live life to the fullest and pursue our dreams. People with Addison’s Disease which is Primary Adrenal Insufficiency are steroid dependent for life.. Team Addison USA promotes awareness for Addisons Disease for better knowledge an understanding. So you can live your absolute best life .. 🩵
