Jim, I wonder if this isn't a different problem. This doesn't seem to be specific to
Addison's per se. Diabetes perhaps? Small stroke?

: My father has been diagnosed with Addison's Disease and is taking medication. One symptom that is not improving is his hands. When he wakes up in the morning his hands are sore, weak, and the skin "feels like paper" to him. As the day goes on they feel better but are still a bit weak. Has anyone had similar symptoms involving their hand and can anything be done about it?
