I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I recently heard about Addison's disease and I'm wondering if it can come and go? Can someone explain to me how this works? Is there any way to prevent or manage the disease? Can it be treated and is there a cure? I'm hoping to get some answers and advice from other forum users who have experience with this. Thanks in advance.

Addison's disease is a disorder of the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing hormones that regulate the body's metabolism, immune system, blood pressure and other functions. Addison's disease can come on suddenly or develop slowly over time. It can be caused by any number of things, including autoimmune disorders, infections, and certain medications. Symptoms may include fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, and darkening of the skin. While Addison's disease can be managed with medications and lifestyle changes, it is a chronic condition that cannot be cured.

Yes, Addison's disease can come and go. It is a rare disorder that affects the adrenal glands, which produce hormones that help regulate heart rate, blood pressure, and other bodily functions. When the glands don't produce enough hormones, it can cause a variety of symptoms, such as fatigue, weight loss, and low blood pressure. In some cases, the disease can go into remission and the symptoms may disappear for an extended period of time. However, it is important to remember that the disease can return, so it is important to continue to monitor your health and see your doctor regularly.

Yes, Addison's disease can come and go. It is a condition where the body's immune system attacks the adrenal glands, which produce hormones that help the body function properly. In some cases, the symptoms of Addison's can come and go, either due to fluctuations in the severity of the condition, or the body's own ability to heal and regenerate the adrenal glands. However, it is important to note that Addison's is a chronic condition that requires ongoing medical care and monitoring. If you think you may have Addison's, it is best to see your doctor as soon as possible to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Addison's disease, or primary adrenal insufficiency, is a chronic, autoimmune disorder that affects the adrenal glands, which are responsible for producing hormones necessary for normal body functioning. When the adrenal glands are not functioning properly, an individual may experience a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, low blood pressure, and cravings for salty foods.

The answer to the question “Can Addison’s come and go?” is yes. In most cases, Addison’s is a chronic, lifelong condition that requires lifelong management and treatment. However, there are cases in which Addison's disease may come and go. This phenomenon is known as periodic or intermittent Addison's disease, and it is typically caused by a variety of factors such as extreme stress, physical trauma, or an illness.

Intermittent Addison's is usually characterized by periods of remission, in which individuals experience no symptoms of the disease, followed by periods of exacerbation, in which symptoms may return. During periods of exacerbation, individuals may experience the same symptoms they experienced when initially diagnosed with Addison's disease.

If you or someone you know is experiencing periods of remission and exacerbation of Addison’s, it is important to speak with a doctor. While Addison's can come and go, it is important to obtain proper diagnosis and treatment to avoid any potential complications.
