A member asked:

Have hashimotos. am cortisol in normal range. can i still have addisons? 20lbs weight loss over few months headaches nausea vomit not on levothyroxin

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Less likely: Hashimoto disease more commonly cause weight gain without synthroid (thyroxine) replacement. If your still concerned the definitive test to rule out addison disease will be Cosyntropin stimulation as random cortisol level could be inaccurate and variable.
