Nunchaku is a martial arts weapon, traditionally used in Okinawan style. It has two sticks connected with a short chain or rope. Sushmita spoke about being diagnosed with Addison’s disease and how she fought it. Her caption says “After I was diagnosed with an auto immune condition called Addison’s disease in September 2014, it left me feeling like, I had no fight left in me…A fatigued body filled with immense frustration & aggression. The dark circles under my eyes can’t even begin to explain the dark times I endured for 4 long years 🙂 To have steroids substitute cortisol & to live with its innumerable side effects took its toll. There is NOTHING more tiring than to live with a chronic illness. Enough was enough, I had to find a way of strengthening my mind, allowing my body to follow suit. I meditated with #Nunchaku :)).” Also Read - Feeling stressed? 5 lifestyle changes to ease your mind and mood

Thank you to my Teacher Nupur Shikhare for being my rock through this journey 🙂 I love you guys!!! #ShantiShantiShanti #DuggaDugga.” Also Read - Depression vs Stress: There’s a huge difference

 

AN UNCOMMON AND DANGEROUS HORMONAL DISORDER

Addison’s disease or adrenal insufficiency is an uncommon disorder that occurs when your body is not able to produce sufficient amount of some hormones. In this disease, your adrenal glands which are right above your kidneys, produce very less cortisol and, usually, too little aldosterone. When your body is going through any stress, like fighting an infection, this cortisol deficiency can lead to life threatening Addisonian crisis, which is characterized by low blood pressure. Addison’s disease can occur to people in all age groups and sexes and can be very dangerous.

SYMPTOMS OF ADDISON’S DISEASE

The signs and symptoms of this disease usually develop at a slow pace over several months. In most cases, the disease proceeds so slowly that its symptoms are not visible until an illness or injury occurs. Take a look at the signs of Addison’s disease

  • Extreme fatigue
  • Weight loss and decreased appetite
  • Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation)
  • Low blood pressure, even fainting
  • Salt craving
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
  • Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting (gastrointestinal symptoms)
  • Abdominal pain
  • Muscle or joint pain
  • Irritability
  • Depression or other behavioral symptoms
  • Body hair loss or sexual dysfunction in women
