Such a valuable event to everyone living with Addison's Disease, the people around them (for when they will be needed to act/help), or anyone who'd just like to know more 💙

Such a lovely quiet site to spend a few nights on our trip around Europe. Just what we need!

I kissed your forehead for the very last time.
You lay there peacefully, while my whole world was falling apart.
I tried to be strong, because I knew that once I walked away, I would never get to hold you again.
I whispered, "I love you."
And somehow, I hoped you could still hear me.
But the only thing that answered was silence.
I stood there, memorizing your face... knowing I would never see you the same way again
That wasn't just a goodbye.
It was the last time I would ever kiss my son who I loved so deeply.
And no matter how many years pass I know I will always remember that last kiss.

Tomorrow, we set off on a mega (for us anyway) trip around Germany, Slovenia, Italy, France and Spain. We're all packed and ready to go with our "Lee's Light' sign on the back of our van. Lee is with us always, he'd be so excited for us going on this trip!

Addison's Disease is very rare and not many people have heard of it so the hope is that others might see our little sign and ask us about it or go to Google to find out what it is, all spreading awareness.

Never one's to miss an opportunity to raise a little bit of money for our nominated charity, ( Addison's Disease Self-Help Group ), we also decided to set up a Just Giving page in case anyone would like to donate, fingers crossed.

If anyone sees us on the road, give us a beep x

Please take extra care in this heat ☀️🕶💦🧂

The UK is heating up this week 🔥 And for those of us with adrenal insufficiency, including Addison's, that means taking a few extra precautions. Here are our reminders to help you stay safe in the heat:

💧 Stay well hydrated.
🧂 Keep your salt intake up.
💊 Make sure your fludrocortisone dose is adequate – don't ignore light-headedness or dizziness.
⚠️ Carry your steroid card and/or medic alert jewellery at all times.
🌡️ Check how your medication should be stored and at what temperature.
😎 Stay cool, slow down, and keep out of the sun.

Trust your cravings! If you're after something salty, your body may need it. Eat salty foods and consider an electrolyte drink. If you feel light-headed, don't push through - slow down and give your body a chance to recover. Learn more about salt and adrenal insufficiency on our blog 🔗 https://loom.ly/fQg6290

If you’re worried about the heat or how you’re feeling, always contact a healthcare professional and visit www.nhs.uk/heatwave for more advice. Stay safe ☀️
