Check to see if you should be taking your Hydrocortisone three times a day! Most doctors tell I you to take it twice. I had to see a specialist in the UK because the physicians didn't look in the correct direction. For a year I was on 40 mg instead of 30mg. I developed a heavy face and my body ached! Too much Hydrocortisone!!
Come to find out about 5% of Addisonians, how to you like that label, have a problem I guess you cold call it absorption. And the the morning dose is burnt by the system and doesn't last till the last dose.
For a year I had very frequentl bouts of dizziness.
I saw the specialist and in 10 minutes he told me too take the only 30mg of Hydrocortisone three times a day.... 8, 12 & 4.
I was fine in a week.
Again you should NOT be feeling ill or dizzy!
Get another doctor!

Good to hear your appetite is back.
Force yourself to eat if it drops off or at least take
A one a day Multi vitamin and mineral tablet
You are the only person who can tell exactly what you need.
Rest and sleep well your body is working harder than everyone elses just doing nothing
You now have a diagnosis to build a new life upon
