Many people with Addison's disease can continue to develop your work life in a normal way, while others will have to change of job and others will not be able to continue working or start working. The answer to this question is complicated and depends on each case. With the appropriate medical treatment the majority of patients will be able to perform some type of work although it is advisable to avoid physical work and the heat. Some more severe cases or with other associated diseases are not able to work or even perform the household chores.

The answer to this is complicated and highly individualized. Many without other issues that receive adequate medical treatment and disease management are able to work. I work in a physically demanding job working in the heat, but I have to be careful in these conditions in order to keep from becoming ill. Education and proper medical management are key. Some with other conditions & diseases find that they are no longer able to work or even manage common household chores.

Under proper medical care I have not stopped doing anything. Takes a bit more time/training.

To my knowledge; when treated correctly, the illness is in no way debilitating, physically or mentally.

Yes as long as disease is well maintained you can do any job.

Well this may be a one on one person question. However in my personal opinion , no one is capable of working with Addison's Disease in any field. Reason being besides the facts, we never know from hour to hour how we'll be feeling. One minute we may be up and around though sluggish and next minute we have to go to bed. This is how I AM. So I can only speak from my experience. However most all I know with Addison's feel exactly the same. I only know few that are still able to work. Not able to give a percentage but it's LOW.

In principle, and taking the appropriate doses can make a working day of 8 hours. It is not advisable to work in a stressful environment and not in shifts day and night, as we q up the dose to be able to withstand that pressure

It is very difficult to lead a normal life with a job that requires consentracion, agility that stress makes the symptoms worse and we get tired very quickly losing the thread of what one was doing and having to take frequent breaks
