Help

[Eleanor]

My nephew was diagnosed with Addison's 15yrs ago. I saw him this weekend for the first time in a yr ( he lives in Scotland) There appears to be something wrong with his legs they didn't appear to be co-ordinating properly? And he was adding quite random things into the conversation. Could this have anything to do with his Addison's?

Eleanor,

You are right to be concerned about your nephew.  His random behavior and problem with his legs is quite alarming but most likely NOT related to Addison's.  Can you explain your concerns to him and get him to see a doctor?

Addison's Owner's Manual  The Addison's Owner's Manual is an excellent resource for information about Addison's disease.

Please don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions!  Can you get your nephew to post here?

I am curious to know how much replacement cortisol your nephew takes.  Also what other medications?  Is he primary or secondary.  Any chance he would tell you if you ask or post here as Dusty mentioned.  How old is he?

It is great that you are trying to help him!
