Suggest Treatment For Joint Pain And Fatigue Due To Addison's Disease

I'd suggest trying an urgent care clinic or walk-in clinic.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question.
I understand that your granddaughter is in a very stressful situation.
If you don't have health insurance, paying for such care can seem overwhelming. Because of this, things may be tempted to put off getting the care you need.
However, it's extremely important that you seek medical attention before your granddaughters' condition worsens any further.
In her specific case, the alternatives are to go to a hospital emergency department (where you can't be denied care or treatment) or to try an urgent care clinic or walk-in clinic. Call ahead and ask how much a visit will cost.
When scheduling an appointment, tell the doctor's office that your granddaughter is uninsured and ask if discount rates are available. If discount rates aren't available or are too expensive for you, call other facilities in the area - some provide less expensive care than others.
At the other side, low cost or free care is also available at community health centers.
Laboratory blood test to confirm the diagnosis of Addison's disease are necessary in your granddaughter's case but the problem is that it can be expensive.
You can choose where you go to get your test. The cost of lab tests differs quite a bit. You can search for the cost of the necessary tests and compare the average costs of lab tests so you can choose the most convenient lab in your locality.
Hope this is helpful.
Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards.
