title: [Addison's disease imitating fibromyalgia].
abstract: We present the case of a 33-year-old female with generalized pain in the musculoskeletal system, fatigue, and many other symptoms. She was initially diagnosed with fibromyalgia but other tests finally confirmed Addison's disease. Supplementation with adrenal hormones resulted in total remission of pain and of other symptoms. This case serves to illustrate diagnostic pitfalls in patients with a generalized pain syndrome.
