Blood test results-any thing to explain recent problems?
has anyone done a 24 hour UFC (urine free cortisol). cortisol is rarely checked and can throw your entire endocrine system out of wack (everything from your glucose levels to your acth, which is your adrenal output and can effect your heart). having this tested will allow for another differential diagnosis, cushing's, which is mostly defined by having excessive amounts of cortisol do to either taking a steroid like prednisone or having an adrenal or pituitary tumor. i recommend if you can trying to see an endocrinologist, and i hope you get to feeling better.
