Pleased with test results!
Today, I received my first recheck result on my blood level for ACTH since finding out I have Addison's two weeks ago. My first level was over 1000 and today's results were at 84, almost normal! I was so pleased and have been feeling so much better. I am so thankful to be in a healthier state.

To all the wonderful people out there in Daily Strength land, I truly appreciate reading all the support responses to so many questions by other Addisonian\'s! Now I could really use some answers if anyone else has experienced my newest symptom.
For the last few weeks I have been experiencing a sub-surface rash mostly on my arms and legs. I have not been around any plants such as poison ivy or sumac and have not eaten any new foods or used new detergents. The rash can be very ichy at times but other times I don\'t notice it at all.
Yesterday I saw my endocrinologist for my 3 month visit and she did not feel it was related to the Addison\'s but was concerned about the rash. Her recommendation was to give it another week to clear and if not I should see a dermatologist and have the rash tested. She felt that with having Celiac and Addison\'s disease that I was very prone to other health issues that could be very serious.
I would love to know if anyone else has had a similar experience?
Never, but I am new at this.
