Developed Under active thyroid in 2005 then I fell ill in 2007 which tumbled into 2008 and unable to work with no diagnosis. I had an adrenal crisis which put me in hospital for a month in an induced coma, I was lucky to survive. Then I was ok for a while when I became seriously ill and landed in hospital with Kidney failure, my GFR was 11% and they were considering put me on dialysis. However it was autoimmune like me addison's and I slowly began to recover, my GFR is now 48% and I take regular blood tests to monitor my kidneys and other conditions. With the recent announcement I am very concerned
