I had to collapse in the street, near death, in order to be diagnosed with Adrenal Insufficiency. I survived two adrenal crisis, IN THE HOSPITAL, without any investigation or diagnosis. My current endocrinologist is the only one of many who knows more about adrenal insufficiency than I do.

@mckitty357 that sounds awful and scary! Did you really have to explain adrenal crisis to the doctors and tell them how to treat you? You are the 2nd person today who has shown such courage in the face of adversity! Thank you! Women need to take care of the medical probs!
