[QUOTE="Emilyprice, post: 971253, member: 54647"] Hi I also had / have this although it us much better recently. I have t1 but had adrenal insufficency after having my son. It's adrenal insufficiency rather than addisons as my adrenals were fine (as totto mentions) however my piturity gland wasn't sending the signal so no cortisol produced! For some reason it started to work again, however I still get spouts of this and had the symptoms you described. If it is postural hypotension and is mainly when you stand you could ask them about fludrocortisone as this really helped me anyway. For me, they now think I have it because of my autonomic neuropathy but I'm not so sure:/ I think there may still be a problem with piturity. Have you had an MRI? I've upped my salt intake and try to drink more too and this might be why it's improved. Hope you get some answers, it's horrible isn't it. [/QUOTE]
