Pleurisy and Addison's Disease

I have been having issues with breathing and pain. Every time I breathe in a sharp pain shoots through my back. Also my ankles and behind my knees have been swelling. I went to the Dr. today and she told me I had pleurisy or inflammation of the lungs which is caused by an hydration issue. I was prescribed Microthizide, which is a diuretic. I was taking ...the over the counter diuretics and they were not helping much. I have heard of several other Addison's also having this. The good thing is that it can be treated and is only temporary.
