I'm really sorry to hear you've got Addison's disease - hopefully it's well controlled. I know it's fairly rare (ish), there might be the odd person who also has it though! I don't have it, but I have been on longer term steroid courses (i.e. a course that lasts longer than a week) (corticosteroids, not the muscle-bulding anabolic steroids!) and I know how awful I felt if I missed a dose - it's similar symptoms to Addisons (in Addisons, your adrenal glands don't produce steroids like they should. When you take steroids, your own steroid production goes down after a while, so if you miss a dose you're left with low levels).
