question: My fiancée suffers from Addison's desease. she takes hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone, as well as a number of other meds. I am wondering about her life expectancy (she is now 56) and if there have been any new breakthroughs in the treatment of this malady. I worry mostly about her having low blood pressure and becoming dehydrated. What can I do to prolong her life and help her daily?
