Just wanted to say that there was a teacher in my school with Addison's disease. She had to take it easy, but she lived (and still does!) a happy life. There was an assembly and she went up in front of the school and told everyone what she had, and said that if anyone ever saw her get in an accident or if something happened to her on a field trip, to take this needle out of her pocket and give her a shot and call 911 right away.

Your parents are very watchful! I probably wouldn't have even noticed.
