What could it be? ( will choose best answer.)?

Question

For the past 6 or so months, I have had extreme fatigue, very easy bruising, also I had very low sodium at one point, but the last time they checked it went back up due to a medication I took for a short period of time (Florinef, for Addisons Disease.) Although, when I took it , my Aldestrone was lowered ( it was high before) but my Renin went up , so I was take off of it. My sodium however went back to normal. I was tested because I had dizziness when standing/laying down. I also had an absent menstrual cycle for almost two years, and am now on a birth control and finally have periods.

What could be wrong? I am convinced it is an autoimmune disease. I have researched everything- I have an appointment with a new Endo, but it is not till Sept 15th. I intend on asking him to test me for everything possible.

So here is a short list of the symptoms I had in the past 6months/or longer:

SEVERE fatigue

No menstrual cycle without birth control

LOW sodium

Easy bruising

Also, I have recently had a boil that is very painful on my thigh.

Thyroid diseases, and most adrenal diseases were ruled out, also pituitary diseases. So anything else would be helpful.

Thanks.
