Please help us get this monitor it will save so many lives from low cortisol. This is a life saving hormone, (Cortisol) that people with Addison's Disease do not produce. Please help us by signing the petition! Thanks

We need a monitor to check for cortisol levels, it would take all the guess work and danger out of self medicating .

Having cortisol monitors will help prevent crisis in adrenal insufficient patients. This would not only help a large poplulation but will expand healthcare. This would be a great investment because statistic wise there are many steroid deficient patients.

I have adrenal insufficiency and feel exhausted all the time. I take hydrocort but my doctor says there is no way to test to see if your levels are normal. This would help me with control this disease!

I have been taking cortisone multiple times a day for 17 years. A pump would help me monitor it so much better and make it much easier to stress dose, preventing hospital visits.

For the past 17 years, my wife has had to take cortisone multiple times a day. She will for the rest of her life. A pump would help her/us monitor it so much better and make it much easier to stress dose, preventing emergency hospital visits for IV steroids when in life threatening crisis.

Re:
You may want to get another endo! There is a test doctors do to check if your cortisol levels are normal! My doctor did a stress test on me to make sure i was absorbing cortisol levels

This would be of tremendous help for many

I have no adrenal glands as a "cure" for Cushing's disease. I would love to be able to keep tabs on my levels. When I was testing for Cushing's, it would also have been extremely handy.
Guest#14 Apr 13, 2014, 15:58
This would also help Cushing's patients-trying to guess when cortisol is too high/too low isn't science! this would help enormously.

Due to having had a bilateral adrenalectomy to cure Cushing's I am now considered to have Addison's. I have had two episodes of adrenal insufficiency that caused me to be hospitalized and several that have rendered me very ill. Some have happened suddenly, without warning. If there were cortisol monitors would be extremely helpful and possibly life saving. Our lives are just as important as someone with diabetes. Please, make these available for me and others like me.

Adrenal insufficiency causes confusion and disorientation. It would be good to have a way to monitor cortisol so that adrenal insufficiency does not get to the point where the person does not realize what is happening.

Please sign this petition, it could change so many lives for the better xxx

In desperate NEED.!!
Guest#21 Apr 15, 2015, 11:09
My wife has Addison's disease, she would be a lot better off with a monitor like this petition is about. I believe it would be a great help to us, and very beneficial to her and me. It would definitely help a lot of folks with adrenal problems that depend on steroids to keep them going day in and day out!

I have a daughter-in-love with this disease! It's rare & during her "Crisis Times, or Crashes" even hospital or EMT workers have no idea how to treat her! She could die! There needs to be awareness!

For my new friend!

I am an Addisonian- treatment for this disease is sheer guesswork.
