Hi yaaaawwwnnn....

And so now it's Addison's disease! Is that as well as RSD or instead of, or perhaps she has Munchausen's? Whichever it is I wish she'd get the facts about her latest disease right (hah! RSD coming and going!!! If only it went!!), because she obviously has no idea what a terrible disservice she's doing to those who really do have these conditions.
She definitely says (twice, I heard it) she's been diagnosed with Addison's on the YouTube mp3, but then denies it in the following article.

Here's the YouTube url to listen to the tape:

Here's a bit from the eonline article:
http://www.eonline.com/news/article/...4-a0c02555c2f8

"Abdul also discusses an assortment of issues with her health on the tape, claiming that she had recently developed Addison's disease, a rare endocrine disorder that causes chronic fatigue and muscle weakness, among other symptoms.

"I've been going through tremendous amounts of a difficult time," she says.

"I've developed this thing called Addison's disease…My adrenals are empty…and my immune system is not very good. And the worst thing about my spinal cord injury, and now Addison's, is that stress makes it hyper, hyper bad."

At an event in New York Thursday night, Abdul downplayed her health problems, telling People magazine she had not actually been diagnosed with Addison's disease.

"I haven't been diagnosed with it. I'm just exhausted. Sometimes I have really low blood sugar levels. It's all because I work very hard, that's it," she said.

"When you work as hard as I do, you become exhausted. That's what happens. I'm working on five different projects right now. And now people are saying I have Addison's. I'm tired."

I expect she's in for a rough time. I don't wish her ill, but this "I've got a terrible disease be kind to me" thing is getting very old.

Bah humbug...all the best
