What is Addison's Disease?
Addison's Disease is an adrenal insufficiency disorder where the adrenal glands produce insufficient steroid hormones, leading to symptoms like fatigue, low blood pressure, and electrolyte imbalances. Without treatment, it can cause life-threatening adrenal crises. Carrying an ICE card helps emergency responders quickly understand your condition and administer necessary treatment promptly.
