Here is a thought...
I have autoimmune hypothyroidism. I have been dx'd for almost two years. I have been under tremendous stress with hubby. (He is going through midlife) If my immune system is down already with hypo, can stress in fact induce adrenals to fail? I can't handle the stress and its making me tired of being tired. I am not normally a "whiner" but I need to get back to living.
Any input will help. Thanks.

Don't know, Miller, but I'd just had some stress when the possibility of having Addison's came to light.
For nearly half a century, I've been on dyazide twice a day for HIGH b.p., suddenly started having low.
Did a bit of a web search before finding this board again, and found that usually Addison's doesn't come on suddenly, except with about 25% of people.
Good luck and do keep us posted. There's so much for all of us to learn from each other.
