How long did it take to diagnose Addison's disease?

For those of you with gradual onset Addison's disease, how long did it take before you were diagnosed? Did you have fatigue all the time but then have flare ups of worse fatigue? Did you have normal cortisol levels at some point and then they gradually decreased?

I believe I had a crisis.. I was so weak, drained I barely could walk so my fiance took me to the hospital where I was admitted for almost 2 weeks untill they diagnosed me with addidsons disease.. had home nurses for months after the hospital and prescribed prednisone and fludrocortisone which made me go crazy but after a year I started feeling better .. I'm still suffering but I wish you best of luck!
