[QUOTE="ratbag, post: 94106, member: 972"] I have similar issues and have HPTA dysfunction from a head injury when younger. However anyone can have HPTA dysfunction without head injuries. My adrenals were also like yours very low and I hooked up with an MD who was an HRT specialist and he saw my saliva labs from ZRT and put me on HC 45mg daily and after 8 months reduced it to 30mg daily and that was the key to get other stuff working because there were a lot of meds I couldn't take because of low cortisol. In fact cortisol levels must be ok in order for your body to deal with other things effectively. Once my cortisol was ok, he started me on florinef and then he started me on thyroid meds and that was a big improvement. From there it was TRT, HCG and DHEA and now I'm nearly normal except for an iron problem I have. So yeah you obviously need to get a MD who knows how to treat cortisol insufficiency effectively... very few MD's know how to do this. If your in the USA I'd suggest you contact Defy our sponsor as they know how to deal with cortisol issues. [/QUOTE]
