to get a concrete diagnosis. I'm getting upset obviously. I have so many extreme symtoms .... nausea,mind blowing fatigue, reactions to weightlifting.... and many more. If my morning cortisol level is 5 (picograms) Isnt that enough verification to start me with treatment? Thats damn low! Now Im doing the urinary 24 levels for free cortisol and 17 ketocorticosteroids. I'm such a loser I could barely drive to get the test back to the hospital, It was a major trek and its 5 miles away My take is enough is enough....Im a compassionate and caring man and wasnt put on Earth to suffer.... This nausea and exhaustion are worse then I could ever imagine possible What did it take for others to get treatment? . which is preferable Hydrocortisone or Prednisone?Is Florinef always neccisary?Does everyone with this have the Neurally Mediated Hypotension concurrently. Does that need its own special treatment ? Any advice is appreciated Im sort of down tonight......... adios for now
