    People with hidden conditions, like Addison’s disease & adrenal insufficiency, may be struggling with symptoms & the extra daily tasks their condition requires, but when you see them in the street you wouldn’t know anything is wrong. #InvisibleDisabilitiesWeek

    Happy birthday to chemist Edward Kendall (March 8, 1886) who shared the 1950 Nobel Prize for Medicine for his research on adrenal cortex hormones. Kendall isolated 'Compound E' later named cortisone, the steroid that those with Addison's disease need to take daily. #OnThisDay
