Very good point, Val. For some cortisol is essential. Others don't

need it at all.

I guess the saliva test would be best before starting on cortisol

replacement. If you had all the adrenal symptoms but found that your

cortisol was high, yours is a good example to show that one cannot go

on symptoms alone.
