Addison's Disease
A condition where the adrenal glands don't produce enough of certain hormones, which can affect energy, blood pressure, and how the body responds to physical stress.
Who typically manages this
Endocrine autoimmune conditions are managed by an endocrinologist, usually with routine blood tests to monitor hormone levels over time. Day-to-day management tends to centre on energy, weight, and mood changes that can shift as hormone levels change.
