I don't not believe you! :)
What I'm saying is that a particular mutation doesn't prove that you have severe high cortisol as the cause of your problems - the type that would be treated with a cortisol blocking drug. You can only prove that by specifically testing for high cortisol.
The body has ways of balancing things out (homeostasis). If your CRF was abnormal, something else could have changed to balance that. This is why you can only diagnose a problem due to elevated cortisol by doing special tests for it.
