Addison's Disease Self Help Group web newsletter, issue 2, October 2003
Welcome to the second edition of the ADSHG web newsletter! In response to the continuing high level of interest in the emergency injection procedure, we hope that the step-by-step guide to administering the injection will be a helpful reference to anyone unsure of what to do. Research Nurse Suzanne Curran’s demonstration at the AGM and annual lecture on 10th May was a great success and this kind of supervised session is a real confidence booster, proving that we can all do it if we know how.
