Have i been misdiagnosed?

I went into hospital on the 24th December 2012. I was in intensive care for 5 days in a coma I was then moved to high dependency for another 5 days before they realised I had influenza B and was moved to a private room. Soon after i was diagnosed with Adisons disease and sent home 3 days later with pills. I took the pills for around a year before deciding to stop taking them as i was convinced they were doing nothing but making me fat. It has been 5 years and 5 months and I haven't taken the pills in that time with zero problems i am trying to get my endocrinologist to remind diagnose me but he refuses. I have had a 2 tests for steroids one short and one long the doctor tells me i defiantly have Adisons and tells me to take the tablets which is inforiating . My sister also has adisons but here if correctly diagnosed as she has had crisises. Personally I think I have ME as I show symptoms. All i can think is i don't have adisons or i would show symptoms since I stopped taking the pills. I need help with the ME but no-one will listen to me. My doctor refurs back to the endocrinologist
