AMN/ Addison

[AKDS]

Will all AMN man will have Addison disease?how common it is??

Twitches in full body can be the initial symptom??

No, it's not guaranteed that an AMN will have Addison's. I have had AMN for 40 years and have never had Addison's despite being tested quite often.

As with other symptoms with this disease, you sometimes get these other effects, and sometimes not.

I wish you well handling AMN.

I'm 66 and have had Addisons since I was 13. I knew that I had AMN for approximately 35 years as our whole family was tested. A nephew of mine was diagnosed with it so we knew it was in the family. I showed the first sign of it about 30 years ago. I now need 2 canes to walk. I don't like struggling with walking but I tell people that you don't have to look very far to see someone worse off.

I am beyond envious of anyone that does not also have adrenal gland involvement. I’ve had it since I was 16 and I’m now 43. I’ve been very lucky not to have any serious, adrenal crisis, however, it’s not a fun thing to have to manage.
