The AddisonsDisease.Net Difference:
We are the place to come to for free meaningful lifetime support.
Our members achieve victories in improved wellness and
understanding of Addison's Disease through daily interaction with real
people who live with this rare endocrine disorder. Our members always
put each other first and have such wonderful words regarding this amazing
family of such very special people:
"I have been a member for several months now and wanted to thank
everyone for their advice and help. Like many members I may not reply to the
e-mail very often, but I do read them every time. The information I have
gained through this group has improved my life tremendously. From the little
things like taking your meds before you get up to the big things like
dealing with a crisis this group has made a huge impact on my life. Thank
you to everyone who takes time out of their busy schedules to answer
questions and give advice. Your contribution is appreciated and makes a
difference."
AddisonsDisease.Net was founded by someone with Idiopathic Primary Addison's
Disease - Complete Adrenal Insufficiency as a place of unsurpassed
meaningful support. Our founder has from day one and continues to
have a daily presence in the community. AddisonsDisease.Net was
created and thrives as a free service to our members from around the
world and they always come first.
We are here to do our part to help our members improve their lives by
connecting them to the deepest knowledge base of patient experience and
understanding on adrenal insufficiency - Addison's Disease anywhere in the
world. Patients, caregivers, doctors, nurses, media outlets,
hospitals, healthcare organizations, pharmaceutical companies and the
general public are invited and encouraged to spread the word about this
growing family called simply AddisonsDisease.Net.
Way you can help?
Putting a link from your healthcare website to ours instantly makes your
site more valued as you connect someone in need to a resource able to help
that person who has Addison's, thinks they might have it or cares for
someone who does. Once they reach us our members will take it from
there and you will have made a real difference in someone's life.
We've seen the recent media frenzy linking Paula Abdul to
Addison's Disease and the sudden but fleeting awareness it has brought
to this once terminal disease. The AddisonsDisease.Net difference is
that we are always here to support our members who have it or who care for
someone that does. Our members cross all cultural, economic and every
other imaginable boundary to come together as one family who grows in
wellness and size each day.
We hope all who have taken the time to read this will take a moment to do
their small part. We promise that it will come back to you many times
over.

Dear
Addison's Disease.Net Members & Visitors:
We
are pleased to report that the addisonsdisease.net support community
continues to grow to record levels. We are excited that this past
month was among our busiest months ever here at addisonsdisease.net.
More people are reaching this wonderful addison's support community from all walks of life and
from all over the world. We continue to be delighted with our growth
and the support members extend to one another. We believe that the
members of addisonsdisease.net are among the most caring, supportive and upbeat
people in the world. Many members continue to make a profoundly
positive and optimistic impact in our growing international family.
We
believe deeply that intensive support is needed for many who live daily with
the challenges that Addison's
Disease presents to those who have it and for those who care for someone
that does. Our members know what it's like to live firsthand with the
disease and they provide unsurpassed support to those with adrenal
insufficiency, adrenal suppression and Addison's Disease. One of our
wonderful members recently wrote: "So I can identify with you
completely. It is made worse by the fact that people in general can't
see what the big deal is, we don't look ill." The members of
addisonsdisease.net know "what the big deal is" and they offer
needed support to all members in need with grace, optimism and compassion.
As
many members know firsthand, your community, called simply
addisonsdisease.net, focuses on Addison's Disease, the people who
have it, the people who care for someone that does and even newcomers
who suspect they have it. Our members always come first here at
addisonsdisease.net. People from all walks of life and from all
over the world reach out in time of need and immediately connect here to
the deepest knowledge base of patient experience and understanding on
Addison's Disease anywhere in the world. The addisonsdisease.net
community has a body of experience from pre-diagnosis to living with the
disease for decades. Our members have direct firsthand experience
with Primary Addison's, Secondary Addison's, Addison's as a result of
surgical removal of the adrenal glands and other adrenal
disorders. Newcomers immediately connect to very helpful
members who understand and members who care.
We are very proud of our founding
legacy of bringing people together here at addisonsdisease.net free of
charge. We have never charged a member to be a part of
addisonsdisease.net because our founder believes that no person should
ever be turned away in time of need. Everyone deserves access to
real insight and understanding into Addison's Disease from those who
live it everyday. Many
members continue to be a part of and experience profound victories in
wellness and we couldn't be more pleased with the care, concern and
selfless support members provide to one another on a daily basis.
Sincerely,
Support Team

Open Letter: November 15, 2004
Dear Members &
Visitors:
Many have seen the commercial which referenced "Adrenalitis" in a
television ad used to market a truck and inquired as to if
www.addisonsdisease.net has a position on the ad. It is the position of
www.addisonsdisease.net that the exploitation of any disease/condition either
real or imagined in the manner which was portrayed is both destructive and
insensitive. The members of www.addisonsdisease.net know first hand the
nature of Addison's Disease as they either live with it or care for someone who
does.
It is also the position of www.addisonsdisease.net that this commercial is a
clear example of the ignorance regarding adrenal dysfunction and unawareness
which surrounds Addison's Disease. Many people simply do not know that the
disease exists. Addison's Disease has affected all of us in many ways as
we collectively cope with living with the disease and the unawarenss and
ingnorance surrounding the disease. The commercial while insulting to many
who cope with Addison's Disease also fosters misconceptions regarding disease.
The ad in question is focused on selling a product at the expense of those
afflicted with adrenal dysfunction. We are focused here on support and
spreading awareness on Addison's Disease around the world. Many members of
www.addisonsdisease.net have participated a great deal to support their fellow
members and to spread awareness on the disease in their part of the world.
Anyone who has become aware of Addison's Disease as a result of the commercial
is encouraged to visit www.addisonsdisease.net to learn more about the disease.
Sincerely,
Jerry Butler
