You have 2 choices: You should either go back to mayo for follow up or, if that is not practical, find another local doctor, either an endocrinologist or an internist who can serve as your future doctors.

Adrenal insufficienc: You need to choose one endocrinologist and stick with them. If someone is questioning a diagnosis made by another doctor they can discuss the disagreement with that physician over the phone. What you have here is a failure to communicate. Good luck.
