What is the signs and symptoms of addison's disease?

The symptoms are usually not noticed right away only when a serious injury or illness occurs. Ones with Addison's experience long lasting periods of fatigue that do get worse over time since this is a slow moving disease, weight loss, darkened skin, muscle weakness,increased urination, some numbness in the limbs, in women irregulare menstrual cycles, depression, craving of salty foods, abnormal rapid heart beat, a lot of sweating, and lots more. The ones that you will notice first within yourself are ones that I have stated others will show on exams. The only treatment is usually hormone replacement. Can also be a secondary problem or a primary problem that can cause other disease or disorders.

This is a good site to look at with the information that you may want.
