I posted on the MS board, because the last doc that I saw in the ER, said that he thought I had MS. I know I don't have MS, there is no doubt in my mind after researching adrenal failure.
I have all of the symptoms, low bp, bouts with low BS , inability to gain weight 120lbs after 3 children, tan very very easily, vetiligo on the my legs and arms (didn't know what it was until now), cold hands and feet, low core body temp avg. 97.6, extreme dizziness and vertigo, blurred vision, heart palpatations (alot lately), bouts with fatigue, had mono 1 1/2yrs ago, this list goes on.
My questions is can I have this disease and still have days where I can function at a pretty normal level?
When I am under any stress, I get really sick (nauseous) and literally feel like I am going to die, but if I am not stressed I do pretty good.
I feel better when I take about 100mg of DHEA a day, it helps me function.
I don't know what to tell my doc.
He did a random cortisol, that he said came back normal.
I don't know if I can convince him to do an ACTH stim test. I haven't tried, but am nervous to ask.
I have insurance through the state right now, so getting a referral to a different doc isn't easy.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
One more question, has anyone seen a natureopathic physician for this disease?
Blessings,
Jessica
