    Hello,

    I do not have a tumor but I do have adrenal insufficiency and was diagnosed this past August. I was experiencing very low blood pressure, dizziness, fatigue and muscle weakness. I was originally told I had Addison'a Disease (primary adrenal insufficiency) and after further testing learned I had secondary adrenal insufficiency which meant my pituitary gland was not functioning properly.

    Best of luck,

    Debie

      Yes, labs indicated I was low on cortisol (it may have been ACTH) so they ran a STIM test and I failed.
