You say you are being sick, have diarrhoea, blacking out, going unconscious, plus other worrying symptoms. I've heard a few stories lately about Addisons being missed and the patient dies.

You need to get yourself to A&E at your nearest large hospital. If they try to fob you off, tell them the information you know about Addisons. Good luck
