Good evening, I am a 58 y/o female, recently dx with addison s disease and my acth was 1.1 which shows my pituitary isn t functioning. I also have vitiligo x 30 yrs, and on synthroid x 26 yrs. Felt better on dexamethasone until I started to have to void every 20 minutes. Felt like I was going to have a seizure, ate some salt, felt better for a little bit. Ended up going to ER, asked if Florinef might help, got the script helped some, now 3 days later, still eating salt to try to retain fluid. Not working. I think maybe my pituitary isn t making any ADH. What to do? I m taking 15mg hydrocortisone am, 10 mg pm plus 2 or 3 extra + Florinef.
