Hello everyone! I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in 2009 and Raynaud's in 2010 and two days ago with Adrenal insufficiency. I had been near passing out, passed out once and was hospitalized and then was in the hospital last month because of extreme fatigue, nausea, and feeling weak and faint all the time and chest pain. The hospital I went to was strictly looking at my heart and found a little fluid around it but nothing else major so they told me to go see my Primary Doc. When I went to her she took some blood because she suspected adrenal problems. I had been on steroids for several years, off, but mostly on, and had stopped them in January or February because none of the RA meds were improving my symptoms. Anyway, they found low cortisol and that my adrenal glands were not working. I went to an endocronologist and she put me on Cortef, 10 mg in morning, 5 mg at lunch and 1/2 if I need it at about 3:00. I notice that every time after I eat lunch I become super fatigued and sleepy and have to go to bed, even if I take 5mgs. I can't function like this. I called the docs office on Friday with a lot of questions but never got a call back. I was super ticked because their office staff was rude to begin with. The doctor was nice but only in practice for 8 years. I'm wondering if I need to doc with a lot more experience. Any suggestions? Sorry this is so long but I have so many questions! Thanks so much!!
