Addison's disease is an endocrine disorder caused by a malfunction of the adrenal glands. As a result, a person's body does not produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone, leading to a wide range of symptoms.

The symptoms of Addison's can vary between individuals and can come and go. Common symptoms include fatigue, muscle weakness, weight loss, nausea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. Skin pigmentation changes, such as darkening of the skin, is also a common symptom. In addition, people with Addison's may experience low blood pressure, dizziness, salt cravings, and depression.

Since Addison's disease is a chronic condition, symptoms may come and go, or they may remain steady over time. It is important to monitor any changes in symptoms and to speak with a doctor if any changes in symptoms occur.

The treatment for Addison's disease includes hormone replacement therapy, which helps to replace the hormones that the body is not producing. This can help to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of Addison's. In addition, lifestyle changes, such as reducing stress and improving diet and exercise, can also help to manage symptoms.

With proper treatment, people with Addison's can often lead normal lives. It is important to speak with a doctor to manage any symptoms and to stay on top of any changes that may occur.

Question: Does Addison's Disease cause fatigue?

Yes, Addison's Disease can cause fatigue. This is due to the fact that Addison's Disease is an endocrine disorder which affects the adrenal glands. These glands produce cortisol, a hormone that helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle and helps control stress and energy levels. When cortisol levels become too low, fatigue can result. Additionally, other common symptoms of Addison's Disease such as muscle weakness, weight loss, and gastrointestinal issues can also contribute to fatigue.
