CORTISOL TESTS are in: Results - surprising.......

Posted by jerrympls on January 24, 2003, at 18:49:07

I saw my endocrinologist for my 24-hour cortisol urine test and hormone level blood test results - here are the results in a nut shell - even my dr. was surprised:
Cortisol - LOW
Testosterone - LOW
Thyriod - LOW
Hemoglobin - LOW
So, he ordered another round of ultra blood tests and I go in for an adrenal function test next week. He said: "We'll most likely never know if these low levels were the cause or result of my depression....we may put you on a trial of hormone replacement and cortisol and if it doesn't hurt and you feel better - then good."
So...hope survives for a little longer.....
