[QUOTE="Totto, post: 1607714, member: 91524"] You know what? If they suspect Addison's I think you may not need to go through the ordeal of a 72 h fasting test. I think you should go to hospital next time you faint or feel ill. Low glucose is dangerous, low cortisol is even more serious. A young girl, a neighbour of mine, died a couple of years ago from undiagnosed Addison's disease. She had been put on Leovthyroixine without having her cortisol checked and became very ill. As we are on an island with a very small hospital we usually only have an endocrinologist in place every third week or so. Have you got anyone living with you or are you on your own? [/QUOTE]
