Addisons and pcos?!?

Im currently slowly fighting my way for some answers, Recently diagnosed with pcos and wondering if there is a link to addisons or something similar I understand they are all hormonal so thought maybe could be a cause from addisons or thyroid. Did anyone have similar findings..

I am slim, 25, more towards underweight.. never been overweight, had 2 normal pregnancies..

My doctor didnt go in to much detail about pcos so left me in a bit of daze when I left (I was also discussing other symptoms and my anxiety with him)

Anyway my recent story if you want to read on...

Ive been suffering for some time (years) and I am convinced I have andrenal issues or problems with thyroid.. I could write a list as long as my arm for symptoms .. I find a new symptom or read similar stories and its another check off the list..

i was tested for thyroid 2+ years ago and everything normal (ive had a pregnancy/birth since) currently trying but massively failing to get my doc to retest for thyroid problems but he seems to think unnecessary but I dont know I just need some answers, tsh was 0.38 back then.. so normal, I just thought personally it was on low end..

I have just asked for a new antidepressant to help with the anxiety as its flaring up scarily again but didnt go to well with citalopram it didnt work for me, trying seralatine see how I go.. ide never heard of either of these but im willing to try anything at mo.

Hope to hear something back

    Hi! Just reading your post and it's very similar to what I'm going through right now -did you get tested for addisons in the end? thanks!

    Finally been referred to gynocologist due to having nothing in my notes/history about pcos when I've visited another doctor!!!!! Feel like I've just been lost in the system my anxiety and brain is in overload i hate it!!!! Yet again given more anti depressants the last 2 did not work if they did ide take them.. who wants to feel like s**t

    I was told pcos would not affect my mood.. I'm pretty sure something linking with pcos IS affecting me.. I'm so run down.. left my job, don't see friends, don't go out unless I really have to now my 2 kids are all that keeps me going..

    Hopefully I will stumble across a professional who understands what I'm saying I wanted to go to an endo.. but it's a start hopefully in the right direction
