I was diagnosed with Addisions after having a cardiac arrest when I was 17. I now take fludro cortisone and cortisone acetate daily. I have led a very active life. I worked as amotor mechanic for sixteen yearsand completed a degree in industrial relations. Ialso swim a couple kilometers twice a week. Also I have had a total colectomy and whipples section for Familal Adinomitis polyposis. So as you can see its not such a big deal so all the best with the future.
