Hello, I'm 15 years old girl.I have exact same symptom as addison's disease which means my adrenal gland is failing and have severe hyponatremia  but for some reason, my doctor say that i don't have addison's disease and i get treated exactly same way as addison's disease patient does I've been taking steroid since october which was the day this illness started and now i have to take blood pressure meds and i've been seeing all the specialists and did all the test that is in the world right now but all i have is hyponatremia and low renin, cortisol, and aldosterone. I live in TX and my doctor said i have to go to hospital in phelidelphia which they have the best endocrinology doctor there. I'm have to go there for my last chance to get diagnosis after a year. I'm taking 10mg of amlodipine, 5mg of isradipine as needed, prilosec, amitiza, 16g of sodium chloride pills, milk of magnesia, and .2mg of florinef and all kind of natural herbs. Is anybody had similar symptom like mine and what kind of symptom do you have when you have addison's disease? If you are a specialist doctor in endocrinology, do you have any ideas? please help

    Two days for anyone to reply to your query means that you have a rare case. So you need a very specialist endocrinologist, which is why you are going to Philly. I am sure that they will get to the bottom of it.

    It is a lot for anyone to take in, let alone someone who is only 15. You have our best wishes and so do your parents.
