While doing some research on some brown patches on my forehead, I was led to a site describing symptoms of Addison's, which are:
rigidity brown patches on skin excessive sweating weight loss joint pain to name a few. Guess what.........I have all those symptoms. Could it be that I have been misdiagnosed. Does anyone have these symptoms. I also found this...... http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/art...?artid=1592301 |

I don't think the two are even close in symptoms.
The Mayo Clinic cites these for Addison's: Addison's disease symptoms usually develop slowly, often over several months, and may include: * Muscle weakness and fatigue * Weight loss and decreased appetite * Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation) * Low blood pressure, even fainting * Salt craving * Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) * Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting * Muscle or joint pains * Irritability * Depression
