Addisons? Energy? So tired... so confused...

The last week I have been really trying to fight the symptoms but today I surrendered. I am working from my couch today because I'm so tired I don't even want to sit at the desk or kitchen table (another day I am thankful for having a home office I work out of).
I know that what I do when I am exhausted like this is NOT healthy and probably causing more crashes so I figured I would come to the experts... those who live with this disease day in and day out.... what are some suggestions that you have to get the burst of energy you need? I used to be able to use exercise to feel better but that's getting difficult too.
So, I keep stock of 5hr energies and Monster drinks. I know that they are not healthy but some days I cannot function without them. I don't want to keep using them so I am coming to all of you.
I am waiting for the labs I had done yesterday to come back. Endo said he might put me on booster doses of Cytomel (?) and for me to call today or tomorrow with how I am doing. I called today and was like doc, i feel like crap. Exhausted, muscles and joints are sore again, headache, dizzy (Antivert is helping).
So he finally said that he thinks that I might have an adrenal problem (thank you!!) and that he will call me next week after he gets these labs to discuss. He also mentioned Addisons Disease... Anyone here have both? He said it is not uncommon for Hashimoto's and Addisons to go together? It just seems like he keeps piling on more diagnosis'.
