Fatigue, Lack Of Energy, Excessive Sleep, Melasma Patches On Forehead. Get Tested For Addisons?
Hi, I have been experiencing what I would describe as flare ups of severe fatigue/ weaknes and I barely have energy to walk.I sleep for almost 12 hours a day and yet I don t feel refreshed. I have very dark under eye circles And I have developed Melasma patches on the side of my forehead an eye. I am awaiting results of a FBC Ferritin lvl and Thyroid test. Should I get tested for Addisons? Thank you.

Hi
it sounds like an apt description of Addison
It MUST be ruled out - get it evaluated
Good luck
