Ì don't qualify for medicaid even though I'm unable to work and just started to receive only a small in unemployment. I'm quite certain I have Addison's disease and have been going misdiagnosed for a very long time now. I suspected this a few years ago and have been trying to manage this the best I can but the episodes where I loose consciousness are becoming more frequent now and its kind of scaring me when when I start to come out of it and inhale a big breath of air like I had stopped breathing. I'm all by myself and have no support system....

For over a month now I've been scrubbing my fingernails constantly because they look dirty and have this brown stain on several of them that I thought was from hair color and wondering why it won't scrub off. It's because it's not a stain from hair color but is a uncommon symptom of Addison's disease. And even given this new finding i still don't qualify for insurance at this time and could be another month before I hear anything and even then it's not guaranteed....
