Hi Vincewhitley,

It sounds like you have Addison's disease🤔, so it is imperative that all in the medical professioals you meet are aware that you take steroids .

In Addison's disease your body stops producing cortisol and aldosterone which are essential.

It is essential that you comment about this on your bracelet as sudden steroid withdrawal may make you quite unwell.

Keep well, Mary Eileen
