A patient being treated by a hormone doctor, immune system doctor or perhaps and internal medicine Doctor Who is on the ball can find and determine if a patient has Addison's disease. I could give you the many symptoms of Addison's disease but then you might think you have it. It is a tricky disease to diagnose and requires lab work, scans and a sharp doctor who can recognize it and not confuse the many symptoms that are in other diseases. Go to an endocrine doctor first and present the symptoms to him or her. You can claim you suspect the disease and explain why. The doctor will determine the proper course to take.
