Re: Adrenal insufficiency, and many other problems. Looking for hope.
Thats the first thing i did when i went to the endocrinologist. I set up an appointment with the endocrinologist myself! Well... my husband did, but i have to diagnose myself bc doctors dont have a clue as to why im experiencing all these symptoms. They asked me why i was there, and i told them "Im here because i think i have Addisons Disease"... The endocrinologist came in the room laughing and asked me why. I told him all my related symptoms to addisons and gave him a legit reason why i think i had it. I told him how i use to take adderall for two years before i got pregnant, then stopped. I had all the same symptoms, but now the symptoms were really bad, bc i tried taking it after i gave birth. I don't even like taking it anymore but i do once a month or so because of how bad my fatigue is. I think i have chronic fatigue syndrome. I just cant and wont do anything unless i take adderall. I have a million symptoms. The super dark hyper pigmentation, fatigue, nausea and vomiting. I gag when i just move a little. i have to stay in bed bc of it, and my back and joint hurts really bad. My hands and feet are changing. They use to be super skinny, and petite but now i have giant hands. I cant lift my neck and my head hurts really bad. Im starting to notice that my skull is changing shape, the rotation of my head and jaw. I get crossed eye sometimes. I have memory problems, and speech problems. Difficulty breathing, chest tightness, and tingling in the feet and hands. It's really hard to deal with. The reason why doctors aren't taking me seriously is because im 20 years old. I know when somethings wrong, and doctors are suppose to be there to listen and help. I don't go out anymore because my anxiety is so bad and i just stress too much.
