Holy crap I could’ve just looked at my online chart for the fact of the adrenal insufficiency diagnosis, I didn’t know it was official.  I guess now the big thing is just figuring out why this is happening, and how far up the chain things are going wrong – ACTH (pituitary), or CRH (hypothalamus).  And most especially, how to treat it. But having a diagnosis is a relief more than anything.  We don’t really know whether the severe weakness I’ve had is related, but if it is, I really, really want to get started on treatment as soon as we figure out what’s wrong.
