Team Addison Global on the International Stage!

We are happy and proud to share that Martin Norrman, founder of the Swedish Addison’s Association and Team Addison Global, has been invited to speak at the International Adrenal Consortium meeting on November 17, 2026.

During the meeting, Martin will talk about the work of Team Addison Global, his commitment to people living with Addison’s disease and other adrenal disorders, and the upcoming documentary *Beyond the Diagnosis*.

The documentary focuses on life beyond the diagnosis, sharing personal stories and highlighting the challenges people face in their everyday lives.

It means a great deal to us that our work is being recognized internationally and that we have the opportunity to share our experiences with other organizations working towards the same goals.

For Team Addison Global, this is another important step in raising awareness, increasing understanding, and building connections across borders.

We look forward to November 17 and the opportunity to share more about our work.

💙 Together we are stronger!

I demand better knowledge and understanding of Addison’s disease worldwide.

I am tired of seeing people with Addison’s disease struggle because of a lack of knowledge, even among healthcare professionals. This is a serious condition, and an adrenal crisis can be life-threatening if it is not recognized and treated in time.

I believe we deserve better. Better education, better awareness, better emergency care and greater understanding in every country.

But I cannot do this alone.

I need your help.

I want to bring people together from all over the world to raise awareness and push for real change. Patients, families, healthcare professionals and organizations all have an important role to play.

We need to make our voices heard by those responsible for healthcare and medical education.

I am ready to fight for this, but I need people who are willing to stand beside me.

Please share your experiences, your ideas and your support. Tell me what needs to change in your country.

I want us to work together to make a real difference for everyone living with Addison’s disease.

Knowledge saves lives. And we need more of it, everywhere.

Team Addison Global, I need you.

When Life Changes Because of a Diagnosis – But You Are Still You

Receiving a diagnosis of a rare condition, such as Addison’s disease, can change your life in an instant.

For some, the first feeling is relief. Finally, there is an explanation for the exhaustion, weakness, and symptoms that perhaps no one truly understood before.

For others, fear comes first. The questions. The uncertainty.

What happens now? Will I ever feel well again? Will I be able to live the life I used to?

And in the middle of all these emotions, you are suddenly expected to learn an entirely new way of living.

You need to understand your condition, your medication, your body's warning signs, and how to respond to illness, physical stress, and unexpected situations.

But perhaps one of the hardest parts is accepting that life has changed while trying to hold on to the person you have always been.

So, what matters most after diagnosis?

Knowledge. The right treatment. A clear plan for everyday life and emergencies. Understanding sick-day rules and stress dosing according to medical advice, having access to emergency hydrocortisone, and making sure the people around you know how to respond to an adrenal crisis.

But there is something equally important on a human level.

Giving yourself permission to grieve, to feel, to question, and to slowly rebuild your sense of security.

Allowing yourself to ask for help.

Finding others who understand without needing an explanation.

Because nobody should have to face a rare diagnosis alone.

A diagnosis may change the circumstances of our lives, but it does not take away our identity, our dreams, or our worth.

We are still the same people. We are simply learning how to live under different circumstances.

Team Addison Global exists to remind you of exactly that: You are not alone.

We share knowledge, experiences, fears, strength, and hope.

We learn from one another. We support one another. And together, we make the journey a little less lonely.

To everyone living with Addison’s disease:

What mattered most to you when you first received your diagnosis?

What do you wish someone had told you from the very beginning?

Are you able to talk openly with your family or loved ones when you're feeling unwell because of Addison's disease? Do they understand your condition and what you're going through? by @teamaddison

Possibilities Along My Way

Addison’s may bring challenges, but my world is open still, with dreams for me to follow and a life I long to fill.

I can find a different pathway, take a breath and start anew. There is joy along the journey and so much I still can do.

I can travel, learn and wonder, share the moments that we treasure. When someone lends a helping hand, we can face the road together.

Some days call for smaller steps; others let me venture far. Each can hold a little happiness, right here where we are.

Addison’s comes along with me, along with hope and laughter, with friends, adventures, dreams to chase, and all that follows after.

I move forward at my own pace, with curiosity as my guide. There is more for me to discover, and doors still opening wide. by @teamaddison

💙 Swedish Addison’s research offers hope

Karolinska Institutet is highlighting Professor Sophie Bensing’s research into improving care for people with Addison’s disease.

One interesting finding is that some people retain a small amount of their own hormone production long after diagnosis. This could open new avenues for research into future treatments.

This does not mean a cure or a new treatment is available today, but it gives us reason to follow the research with hope and interest.
