Or cortisol will be higher than it was before. If it was low

to begin with as in a deficient constitution, then cortisol

may come up to " normal " for a while, or higher than it WAS,

which would not necessarily be registered as a problem.

It would just be seen as life, and the body meeting the challenge.

The person will usually become quite non-functional and feel

lousy all the time before they get to 's level

of severity. Many will linger at this moderate level of

AF and dysfunction and feeling lousy indefinitely. Most actual 's is

caused by an autoimmune disease btw, Sheehan's by unusually high blood loss e.g.

in childbirth, and then there's

hypopituitary. And erroneous supps for the individual that

lower cortisol.

Cortisol and testosterone are immunosuppressive, which can

be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your own situation.

Progesterone metabolizes to cortisol.
