My husband has focul segmental glomular sclerosis, and i have an atrophic kidney. are we both more prone/likely to have addisons disease?

No: Adrenal glands, although in close proximity to your kidneys, are not connected to kidney disease affecting you kidneys. So you are not at any greater risk for addison's than the general population.
