It’s rare disease day!

Addison’s disease is a chronic condition in which your adrenal glands don’t produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone.
Your adrenal glands, also known as suprarenal glands, are small, triangle-shaped glands that are located on top of each of your two kidneys.
They’re a part of your endocrine system.
Symptoms of Addison’s disease include:
• Steadily worsening fatigue (most common symptom).
• Patches of dark skin (hyperpigmentation), especially around scars and skin creases and on your gums.
• Abdominal pain.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Diarrhea.
• Loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss.
• Muscle pain, muscle spasms and/or joint pain.
• Dehydration.
• Low blood pressure, which can cause lightheadedness or dizziness upon standing.

There are approximately 300 million people worldwide living with rare diseases and about 7k plus types...Please remember that it’s not contagious and I hope that more people have better access to treatment...please show your love and support to someone you know with rare diseases ❤️❤️❤️
