I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say. I don't like your attitude at all.

We tried looking into the cause of my adrenal insufficiency and we could never pinpoint the exact problem. It's not a signally issue from the pituitary like I had originally thought because my ACTH was high. There are no antibodies attacking my adrenals either, so it's not autoimmune Addison's Disease. We also tested for a few genetic, enzyme deficiencies and those came back borderline. Basically we have no idea, but I know that I need to replace what they aren't doing correctly (hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone). I couldn't go on any longer and was on the verge of complete physical and mental break down with all my health problems.

How much longer was I to suffer to figure out the cause?
