Hi Snoozy--

I was thinking of Addison's Disease when I saw your sxs; but, if this is a longstanding med problem, that's bound to have been ruled out. Addison's isn't the only adrenal deficiency, but it's the best known because President Kennedy had it. It's a rare autoimmune disorder, and a doc wouldn't order special tests unless your skin pigmentation looks abnormally tanned, your CBC differential came back with eosinophilia or other white cell abnormalities and your blood chemistry showed below normal sodium (Na) and above normal potassium (K) levels.

Put my stray musing down to a current endocrinology fixation; I go in for blood tests next week which will likely reveal my insulin and thyroid glands racing each to extinction.

Good luck!---medlib
