I am sorry if you feel I am singling you out. But each of us is different in important ways. And I feel that the only avenue to understanding and appreciating, even valuing these differences is to share them in useful ways.
I do know what adrenal crisis is. I do not know what role aging plays and since I am not a physician, I hestitate to offer anything except that I think individual differences play a major role.
Here is a website you might find interesting.

Do you have any suggestions about how I might verify any information I receive through forums such as these.
