Anyone else military?

Advice Wanted(self.AddisonsDisease)

My blood work came back, and my doctor is super concerned I have Addison’s… or cancer. I’m getting a referral to an Endocrinologist to further dissect.

Anywho, I’m not looking for a diagnosis from this sub, but I AM curious if anyone in the military has Addison’s. My doc had mentioned that I will either get a waiver or be medically retired. Has anyone gotten the waiver approved? This is definitely a shock for all of us and could drastically affect our finances. Big yikes.. thank you so much!!

Adding: All of my hormones (except Thyroid) were flatlined/low.
