Hi guys and dolls,
does anyone online have Addisons disease and diabetes?
I have a low cortisol amount measuring 250, I think most people have a reading of 500, and although not diagnosed with this condition yet, I have been informed by the endocrine team that I will most probably get this condition during my life time.
I have several areas of hyper pigmentation, as well as vitiligo, (all colours under the sun me) and also have dramatic drops in blood pressure when I stand up.
I am still getting days of extreme tiredness, this is really getting me down because some days I feel great and on other days I just cant move.
Can anyone tell me something new about what to look out for, or is it all due to my long term diabetes?
Any bit of info would be of help, I am so fed up of feeling exhausted most of the time. :|
