But what does our membership mean to people? Check out some testimonies from our grateful Sponsored Membership recipients below:
“Thank you, all, so so much! I cannot tell you what a lift this is! Just so much going on for me at the moment, really need this right now. The idea of just being able to speak with others, who REALLY understand means a lot.”
“I do not know anyone else with Addison's disease and the information is a great support to me. I have not been well this year and the magazines are very helpful.”
“Thank you all so much, I feel relieved I'm not flying solo anymore.”
“I am certain it will help me navigate this difficult path, since diagnosis and now with long covid too. It has been so difficult to get effective medical support.”

Please join us in supporting our community! Thank you.

Addison's disease and the Addison's Disease Self-Help Group (ADSHG)

Addison’s is a rare endocrine condition where the adrenal glands do not produce enough steroid hormones and can be life-threatening. It affects approximately 1 in 10,000 people, meaning an estimated 300 - 350 new cases are diagnosed each year across the UK, this makes it roughly 300 times rarer than diabetes.

Life-long treatment with replacement steroid hormones is required. Medication is usually taken several times daily at carefully timed intervals and individuals must also know how to administer an emergency hydrocortisone injection to prevent a potentially fatal adrenal crisis.

At the ADSHG, we are here to support the Addison’s and adrenal insufficiency community and their healthcare providers to promote better medical understanding of this rare condition, campaign for and support everyone affected by adrenal failure, and fund vital research.

Do grab a cuppa and have a read about what the condition is, what we do, and how you can support people you know who have the condition if they become unwell.

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

Another big thank you from everyone at the ADSHG.
