[QUOTE="DB32, post: 94839, member: 17419"] This was years ago and have been off medication for over 7 years and have managed to get my body to produce its own cortisol. When I was on cort meds I was basically disabled and feeble and no matter what they tried they couldn't do anything. They didn't even test my aldosterone just my cortisol. All I know is on pred my body couldn't handle any stress at all and there was no chance of working out. Now even with poor adrenal function naturally I can still drag my ass through a hard leg session and not feel too bad. I feel like there isn't any room for error with the HPA like there maybe is with test or other hormones and to be honest it has been the cause of a lot of my depression as an adult feeling like I'm stuck in this half way state between very unwell and normal.. Woke up this morning with strange sensation in lower back, low blood sugar and a general sort of body tremor ,fatigued and foggy... when I'm most symptomatic of low cortisol I literally feel like I have no purpose and hate myself for being unable to resolve the situation. It's also frustrating not being able to accurately reverse engineer when something goes wrong (this latest crash was from taking vitamin D for one day!!! Which should not have happened) I don't know if my feedback loop is so sensitive or if the D3 has pushed down my cort by effecting the production pathways. I genuinely do not have the money to do a full investigation and am reluctant to spend all that money only to be met with guess work and theory, nobody seems to know why things lower cortisol(test for example..so many posts on this yet nobody actually can explain why) If it were as simple as taking hormones I would be on everything out there but it's not.
