I put other because mine came about during/after my third pregnancy. My whole pregnancy I was really really sick, which wasn't normal for me. I only gained 10 pounds during the entire pregnancy. I had an emergency C section and just never recovered from it. I was diagnosed with Addisons 2 months later, after spending a week in the hospital.
Love your blog, by the way. I have Addisons and Celiac, and I also am a runner. If I lived in Idaho, I'd love to be your running buddy!
I chose 'came on after an illness' because the severe symptoms developed after I failed to recover from a cold. However it is obvious to me that I had been developing minor symptoms since my teens (I was diagnosed in my early 30s).
Mind started after, I had my brain tumor removed. I have secondary.
This is a very interesting survey! I chose "Came on Slowly." I felt increasingly weak over the course of about a year, then had surgery for appendicitis, and went into a crisis immediately after the surgery. I was kept in the hospital for four days, until the vomiting gradually subsided. I was not diagnosed. I was sent home and was very weak and miserable for five months, before I slid into a second crisis. I finally got a diagnosis then. So, it's hard to say how it came on . . .
