A member asked:
If i suspected that i had adrenal insufficiency, would it be advised to supplement with salt tablets? before seeing a doctor)

No: Just get seen. Most folks who think they have adrenal insufficiency feel sick because of a difficult life situation. Some really have it. An ACTH stimulation test is cheap enough and accurate. Best wishes.
