I am wondering if I should be tested for Addisson's disease, and if
so what test should I be asking my doctor to do? My aunt and
grandfather were recently diagnosed with Addison's Disease.
Here are some of my symptoms: I am 27 and have the many of these
symptoms since before puberty. Although they have gotten worse over
the past few years. I am constantly forgetting things, and I seem to
lose (not just misplace) everything.
Extreme forgetfulness, extreme headaches (in the back of my head),
occasional migraines, fatigue that interferes with normal daily
living, severe mood swings, depression, blood pressure on the average
is 115/60 (when sitting), lightheaded almost every time I stand up,
sore muscles in arms and legs, weakness in arms and legs, really
messed up menstrual cycles, and the list goes on to many other small
items.
