Hi,I need some help, I've been sick since Oct 24,2015, out of the blue I got a fever of 103.9F that lasted 8 hours then disappeared as fast as it began. Since then I've had severe diarrhea everyday, headaches, dizzy, (fainted twice), I've lost 43lbs, no appetite, stomach pain, been treated with iv fluids for dehydration 3x, dark shoots on my hands and and that appear to be "age spots" and can't seem to get enough salt. I've been through every blood test and scan you can imagine with everything coming back "normal" with the exception of white blood cells being very slightly elevated. Could this be addisons? I'm from a very small rural area, what test would I ask my doctor for?

Good luck. You may be treatable with medication.
