Other causes of Addison’s disease include:
- Tuberculosis (TB)
- Cancer, such as lymphoma
- AIDS
Addison’s disease can cause fatigue. But it often triggers other symptoms, such as:
- Dark skin on the palms of your hands, knees, elbows, and knuckles
- General weakness
- Dizziness when you stand up
- Lack of menstrual periods
Addison’s disease is rare, McGill says. If you do have fatigue related to your hormones, it’s more likely to be a thyroid problem or diabetes than an adrenal issue, she says.
