It has been a sore subject for awhile now about my cortisol levels. I think they are to low. Never been over a 10 and as low as 8. About a month ago my health felt as if I hit a brick wall. I was do OK then massive fatigue, sleep disruption, lower back pain and the list goes on. I was diagonsed hypopituitary a couple years ago(actually as a child, but couple years ago as an adult). My endo has been doing a pretty good job with my testosterone, thyroid, and growth hormone therapy. Keeping my levels up in the upper third of the range. I have been trying to get her to add cortisol as well.
So question is if my adrenals are trying to pump out more cortisol doesn't that lower my other hormones? Just got some blood tests back and everything crashed, but my cortisol increase by 1 point. Despirate for answers because I can hardly function anymore. Go back to the doc next Friday to discuss recent lab work.
Also my A1C climbed and my HDL crashed as well.
