Glad you are home and feeling better Lee. Yeah that morning cortisol sure is low.. wonder what they will do with that. Also tell me how did the MD's treat you when they learned you were on TRT? Did they question you? or suggest you to stop it? Just curious what their response was. Also I take florinef because of low aldosterone and that drug states that you my need to supp potassium. Just wanted to mention that in case you are on it.
