Tired and Hyperpigmentation Adisson’s Disease!

Hyperpigmentation in your toes, knuckles, elbows, or inside of your cheeks, skin folds, those are all places where Addison’s disease can cause hyperpigmentation.

So what are these additional signs that might indicate that a patient is indeed suffering from Addison’s disease?

That is, the adrenal gland insufficiency.

Feeling nauseous, vomiting, stomach pain with weight loss.

All of these symptoms are primarily caused by the lack of cortisol.

That is a hormone produced by the adrenal gland.

But if you analyze and examine the patient closely, you might notice that symptoms which are correlating with the lack of androgens or aldosterone hormone might be present as well.
