I was told that if i carry on taking my tablets and gong for tests and check ups and being careful that any medical team in an emergency know I need the hydrocortisone on top of any other treatment I can expect a normal life expectancy.

I've never found anyone past ~60, no matter their general health.
I'm 52 now & it's been a very physically difficult life.
I'm not rushing it but I'm ready for it.
