What Is Autoimmune Adrenal Insufficiency?
Addison’s disease is a medical condition in which the adrenal glands stop making hormones that are important for certain bodily functions. It is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both exposed and nonexposed parts of the body. Autoimmune adrenal insufficiency is the most common type of Addison’s.
