   what ?'s should I ask? (Addison's Disease board)

14th June 2006
wow, thanks for all that advice! well, the doctor actually said she has never had an addison's patient, and one doctor there had one case, that she has ever heard of. She said it is very rare, so unlikely that my daughter has it. She did a manipulation, where she moved my daughters head quickly, to check for vertigo, said that was normal, but she wrote a rx for meclizine just in case. She said if that helps my daughter, that would confirm the diagnosis of Vertigo, and I dont need to bring her back. She said my daughter has gained 9 lbs since Feb, so that means all her hormones are working. She did say she will go ahead and do another blood test in 3 weeks, to check her hormones again. But, she thinks its just vertigo. well. I dont know. I have already tried meclizine for my daughter, and all that does is make her sleepy. I dont know what more to do. I researched the internet for specialist in AZ that are familiar with Addisons, but I cant find any. I will keep you all posted... thanks
