My journey with Addison’s disease

The story of Dana

My name is Dana and I started my journey with Addison’s disease when I was 12 years old. I have had the disease for 38 years. I have had several adrenal crises throughout my life. I have learned a lot about this disease and taught many others about the importance of taking care of yourself and taking the necessary medications in a timely manner. I am so grateful to be involved with supporting Rare Disease Day! I’m very thankful for my friends and family and physicians who have supported me along the way.
