sorry about that Giddy, yeah I have known about it, my late mum had Addison's disease back then before she died. its not really that a big deal as long you are following the doctor's medications and advice given to you i bet you gonna be fine.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I had to Google it to see what it was. What does your doctor mean, that you *might* have this? Are you going to do more tests? I read it is fairly rare. They have treatments and medication for it. And I know this sounds weird, but if you do have to go on medications, you will probably feel a whole lot better all around. Meaning, if you have any symptoms you deal with each day, or feel off now, the treatments could make you feel all better and good! Gotta look at the bright side, right? :/

I got this online, about foods you could eat and not eat, while you're waiting for more tests. Good luck, I hope you don't have it..

Nutrition

Food to eat:
Food rich in calcium milk and yogurt
Food rich in vitamin D like fish, beef liver and cheese
Food rich in corticosteroids like spinach and eggs
Increase the intake of sodium after consulting the doctor

Food to avoid:
Food rich in refined sugar and carbohydrates like candies, cookies, soda and white bread
Processed and fermented food like tofu and soy sauce
Avoid alcohol and caffeine intake
Food with the risk of being contaminated by parasites like chicken and pork

Thanks I don’t know anything about it other than what I have googled and I’m sure we all know where that can lead you. It’s going to be a rough couple days waiting for these results

GirlinCalif,

My doctor said it sounds like that is what could be the issue with me. The fact that I have low potassium, sodium and low blood pressure is all symptoms. It is in fact pretty rare, She said she has only treated 2 other people for this in her 30 years. It would be nice to have an answer to all my symptoms other than just being told its anxiety all the time but scary to think I could have this life long condition on top of already having health anxiety.... I am just getting so impatient I want answers now so maybe just maybe I can get back to normal..

I'm sorry you have to wait for more information. It's so hard to wait! But I am hoping that when they figure it all out, get you some treatment, maybe up your potassium levels with food/supplements, I am just thinking you will feel really good.

There is *some* kind of imbalance going on, but they will tell you how to fix it, and then you will feel real good again :) Try to look at the bright side, if you can. Keep yourself busy doing happy and fun things while you wait for more information. You're going to be okay :)

Thank you I will keep trying! I am really trying to eat healthier and I have been feeling a lot better since I have been.

Have you tried or would you be interested in meditation? It’s a technique that calms the mind and relaxes the body. It helps to alleviate anxiety.

I would be willing to try it. I’m not sure how well I would do with it though. My brother tried to teach me once and I failed miserably lol
