ADRENAL DISEASE AWARENESS:
What is the difference in primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency?

Primary is total destruction of the adrenal cortex. All 3 layers. Most today are confirmed with Autoimmune to the gland, and/or High ACTH to make criteria. Thus the name "Addison's"

Secondary AI is a malfunction of the pituitary gland sending the messenger ACTH to stim the gland. Many causes.

Central AI/Tertiary is also secondary AI with full suppression of the HPA axis in which ACTH cannot send the message to the adrenal gland and the cortex of the gland does not stim.

ACTH stims the 2nd layer glucocorticoids, and third layer, where androgens are produced. The first layer, mineralocorticoids are predominantly intact and preserved in secondaries. by Karen Milano

Window nº 10
Dec 10th- Make your spouse a set of 12 days of Christmas mini gifts to give them on the 13th. Hand them one each day up until Christmas. The gifts can be as small as a love letter or a cup of coffee.

“Christmas is a season for kindling the fire for hospitality in the hall, the genial flame of charity in the heart.” ―Washington Irving
