Here is our response, from Dr. Theodore Friedman, a chief endocrinologist and a professor at UCLA:
1. I doubt you have Addison's. Were those blood or saliva cortisol levels? If blood, they look fine. If saliva, they are not reliable and should be replaced with an 8 am serum cortisol level.
2. What is your blood pressure? If low, you might want to take more salt.
