AddisonsDisease.Net: Ten Years of Providing Direct Addison's Disease Support for Its Members

PRINCETON, N.J., June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In less than six months, the thriving international support community called simply AddisonsDisease.Net will celebrate its 10-year anniversary. AddisonsDisease.Net announces its continued growth and enduring founding legacy of providing direct Addison's Disease support to the global Addison's Disease community. For all these years, AddisonsDisease.Net has directly helped thousands worldwide and its members have experienced such joys as improvements in wellness, childbirth with the disease, outlook for a brighter future, improved personal relationships, better grades from students who live with the disease and many other life-enhancing personal victories.

AddisonsDisease.Net came to be through the perseverance, personal strength and vision of its founder, who is a survivor of near-death, hypovolemic shock and once the uncertainty of continued survival. Its founder has primary idiopathic Addison's Disease - complete adrenal insufficiency - and has, since inception, and continuing to this day, maintained a daily presence in the AddisonsDisease.Net community. Through proper management of this rare endocrine disease its founder has remained crisis-free for nearly 10 years despite complete adrenal insufficiency. Today, AddisonsDisease.Net grows stronger each day and is home to members from all over the world who help one another live better with this often misunderstood disease.

AddisonsDisease.Net is pleased to announce that it is now being used as a reference on the Addison's Disease page of Health Library™ from EBSCO Publishing. Health Library is used on hospital websites throughout the United States and other parts of the world as well as retail sites, leading academic institutions and other digital media resources around the world. EBSCO Publishing is a leader in providing evidence-based consumer health and wellness.

Over these last nine plus years AddisonsDisease.Net has become the perfect companion to the doctor-patient relationship. Many doctors have had little experience with Addison's Disease. In one of its members own words, "I've used this site for about 6 months and gained more knowledge than any MD has given me, and I have 13 MD's in my family (in-laws) and only one of them has ever had an Addison's patient, so they are not helpful." Members routinely share AddisonsDisease.Net with their physicians. When a member asks a question, the responses received from fellow members and what they share with their doctors are based on hundreds of years of collective firsthand patient experience with Addison's. This can and has translated into an improved doctor-patient relationship translating further into improved wellness for many members.

When asked, its founder stated: "It is with great joy and admiration for and on behalf of all of our wonderful members at AddisonsDisease.Net that we look forward to ushering in our 10th anniversary with the new year and another amazing decade." AddisonsDisease.Net wishes everyone the very best of health.
