Hi Nicole,
to answer your question about the hyper pigmentation, yes I did & still
my skin tends to be on the darker side (I look like i have a tan when I
don't - which is fine with me considering I'm a blue eyed blonde! Haha!)
Here is a cool website I found that talks a lot about Addison's disease
& it says About 10 percent of patients with type II have vitiligo, or
loss of pigment, on areas of the skin. Scientists think that the
polyendocrine deficiency syndrome is inherited because frequently more
than one family member tends to have one or more endocrine deficiencies.

Thanks Tahnya,

I'm not good at keeping my appetite in control either
- especially if something is going against it! I am
happy to hear you can work out and things are somewhat
normal.

I also caught strep after a bad virus. Interesting.
Obviously, my body can't seem to pick it self up after
it's been knocked down.

Did you have the hyper-pigmentation? I actually read
something to the contrary today that said a lot of
people experience paleness.

Thanks again for your help, Nicole
