This is shocking - but not surprising Steve1

Thought i would share and interesting way my

endo says they are to diagnose adrenal fatigue. By just looking at 9am

cortisol.

If its under 200 (that is adrenal fatigue)

If its over 400 then your adrenals are perfectly fine

If its between then more tests are to be conducted. (short synac)

Its kind of messed up that a snap shot of just one 9am blood test for cortisol

levels are desgined to diagnose adrenal fatigue.

Steve.... your endo is soooooo incompetent!! Having to resort to cortisol testing?? How come he can't tell by just looking at you, like my endo.

It's true.... at a recent appointment my endo wouldn't even discuss symptoms, let alone entertain the idea of cortisol testing.... My tentative attempts to broach the subject were met with an emphatic "there's nothing wrong with your adrenals"

How lucky am I to have such a talented endo
