Thank you for that Phillipa. I am aware of that. My point was missed . That's ok. If you get a chance sometime, maybe go back and read it again. I wasn't meaning to talk about either of those diseases, but rather wanted to demonstrate there are gray areas in medicine that do not fit neatly in a box. For example, adrenal fatigue which is serious but is not cushings is not addisons and is not generally recognized as a bonafide condition. The heart can be weak, but not the adrenals! (kidding, just trying to make a point). If the heart was treated in the same manner as adrenal glands, then the heart surgeon would not care if you have a diseased heart or not, only that it is beating. White is on, life, black is off, dead, but no gray inbetween. That is how medicine views a lot of stuff. I don't know why. Confuses me because it is not consistent.
> Cushings disease and Addison's disease are totally opposite. One you take cortisone for the other you don't. I know my Mother died from Addison's as too much cortisone shut down her adrenal glands. Cushings google it. Phillipa
