Addisons

[mummyanxious]

Does anybody know anything about this? I am led to believe its quite rare and dangerous but all the symptoms seem to add up:

Tiredness, thirst, aches, pigmentation of skin, low blood pressure.

I have had some bloods done today for tiredness but they're for iron, calcium, u&e. not testing for cortisol. I really don't want to go back again as I'm sure they think I'm quite mad but all of my late symptoms seem to point to it.

All of those symptoms could be many, many things and are almost certainly not a very rare condition like Addison's.

Even with a viral/bacterial illness you can have most of those symptoms you describe.

The likelihood is slim that it is a specific, rare condition like that.

Try if you can to not speculate until you have the initial blood results back.

It's the pigment ing of the skin that had freaked me out as I have never paid attention to this but I have had a lot more dark patches appearing all over my body lately.

Anyone have any experience?
