My grandma has declined quite a bit in the last 10 years, she is now in her early 80s. She has arthritis as well as Addison's disease and has been in and out of the hospital the last couple years. She is currently living with her husband but has recently stopped eating. None of us know what to do. It seems like she is giving up on living basically. Any advice is so so appreciated. Thank you so much!

Leave grandma alone. I don't recommend shuffling her to doctors. Maybe she's tired of being in pain with the arthritis or just tired of life in general.

You can make an appointment with her endocrinologist or PCP to check her adrenal glands out. Symptoms of Addisons Disease being in decline are weight loss, no appetite and depression.
