Question: I have been diagnosed with Addison’s disease and started on steroid replacement therapy. What is the long-term outlook for someone with Addison’s?
Dr. Hibberd’s answer:
Your long-term outlook is excellent since you have had your condition diagnosed and it is being managed under the supervision of an endocrinologist. Each case is unique, but never stop your medication and be sure you are aware of how to briefly increase your dose to respond to stress or infection.
