Overweight with Addison's Disease?

Hey can anyone help me out. Ive had a suspension that I have addisons disease but it seems like most that have it are underweight. Is there anyone with addisons that are overweight? I also want to learn more about this so I know if it should be crossed off the list.

Hi! I've just joined. I hope you're closer to finding a solution! I wasn't losing weight when I had undiagnosed Addison's because I also had undiagnosed hypothyroidism, which causes weight gain. They were cancelling each other out for me. The dead giveaway Addison's symptom (IMO) is the low blood pressure/dizziness. A million diseases out there cause muscle problems/fatigue, but with the fainting and immeasurably low blood pressure, it's much more likely to be an Addison's thing.
