Serum cortisol (blood) is good for cushings and addisons. So it can at least rule that out. Remember that addisons has an autoimmune component to it. For cortisol insufficiency only diurnal saliva labs work.
So your high cortisol in the morning are they going to do other tests? Perhaps you do have cushings.
yes, I see the endo on Thursday. talked to them today about this after I got results.
I've been thinking this is a possblilty even though very rare.
the symptoms line up more with this than anything else. also, from how I feel, I really don't think cortisol levels go down at all during the day or night. I guess i'll find out.
I can't wait to find out, good or bad.
thanks
