Re: Addison's Disease. Does it go away?

[Guest guest]

Lea,

If there is an autoimmune component (adrenal antibodies) the

's would not go away. It's like my Hashimoto's...I have

thyroid antibodies. They can go down, but " they " say that autoimmune

diseases are incurable. I believe you can get them to go into

remission quite successfully, and my goal is to beat Hashimoto's!

The good news about the adrenals is that they can recover! So, if

you do not have an autoimmune nature to your 's, with good

support your adrenals can perform better. Have you ever been tested

for adrenal antibodies?

Lea, I appreciate your words....I think we are all learning to become

our own doctors on this site!

I love all of you beautiful, wonderful women!

Hugs,

Patty

possible? My health is not good, but my depression is getting better

with the natural B12 shots. I just do not understand what is going on

regarding my health. My doctors are treating the symptoms only. The

garbage should be removed from my breasts, but we think that I could

be on a list. I get so discouraged with all of this abuse...if only I

had this group before my ruptured implants were removed.
