Hi,
Sorry to hear of your problems.
In fact, Addison is the deficiency of specific hormones which are has a pivotal role in our daily life and give us the energy.
If diagnosed and started on the hormones, it just takes a few days to be back on the track and in a week time, you may feel great. Howe'ver the treatment need to be lifelong most of the times. Good luck.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
