[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 6928, member: 696"] Yeah, your Circadian Profile needs addressed. If this trend continues, you risk (IMO) adrenal fatigue and having the adequate cortisol needed to cope with stress and avoid lethargic symptoms, which will additionally just compound with inadequate thyroid function, which also depends on a healthy adrenal function Curious, has your ACTH lab been ordered +compared pituitary activity against your presented cortisol numbers? Surely stress and other factors are probably the culprit, but if Cushing's (again IMO) should be ruled out, ensuring some type of adenoma isn't present in the pituitary region. I also personally think this would be a good opportunity to test your aldosterone, along with potassium. Again, like other things, there could be correlations in this department of the adrenals, which could directly effect the adrenal production of cortisol. If everything is checking out as 'normal', then it's a matter of figuring out what things and changes you can take to improve this area.
