Getting scope/colon'py for crohn's s/s 6/10, seen endo for poss addisons. have all s/s except skin darkening. but a.m. cortisol, acth, aldosterone all normal? any chance 2 could be related. plz help me

Prob.adrenal fatigue: The bar set to qualify for addison's is so high (or low) that only 1 in 15-25, 000 people are diagnosed with it. Much more common is adrenal fatigue- the same symptoms but not as severe- see http://www.Adrenalfatigue.Org/ having crohn's puts stress on adrenals so the 2 go hand-in-hand, but you may not have crohn's- similar symptoms may be caused by parasites, food sensitivities etc. Good luck!
