Can't believe I just joined another medical support forum

[free2be]

I don't think any forum will live up to my expectation now, after having had the support and information from this one, but I just joined one for people with Addison's Disease.

I'm feeling very frustrated. I know I'm only 7 weeks post CK, but I can't tell what symptoms are from what. I don't feel that I'm getting the answers I need from my current endocrinologist; I don't think they have many Addison's patients since it is so rare. Glancing at the Addison's forum I got some ideas and information that the doctor has not been helpful with. I don't know if we have a handle on my Addison's as much as possible or not.

I have an e-mail out to Dr. Chang to see what his thoughts are on some of my symptoms, but some of it, like fatigue, just runs together with the Addison's and may be from both issues.

I'm so lucky to be such a rare specimen. 
Just whining, I guess.

What type of symptoms are you having?  Tomorrow is my last session of CK, so far the only thing I have noticed is an increase of tinnitus.  What do I have to look forward to?

It's rough being so special!  Keep at it and you'll get your answers.  Hugs.  Starr

TJ,

You may not have any issues; everyone is different. What I'm frustrated about most is my fatigue, but that's a No. 1 symptom with Addison's also. My blood pressure is also low, probably from the Addison's, but I'm not getting the answers I need from my endocrinologist. So, I'm frustrated. I've had some head pain and face issues from the CK, but it's from the trigeminal nerve and not everyone has that problem; in fact, I'm not sure that too many folks do.

You'll probably do great. Don't worry...

Connie!    Hang in there, girl. My first thought is food intake, but I know you watch what you eat.

Keep us posted,
