No Cushings. Well, there’s something wrong. I suggested to endo that I’d like to try thyroid treatment because I feel like I am hypothyroid because of numbers that show it and obvious symptoms. She said it would be irresponsible to go that route. Nice. How could it be irresponsible when I...

Well, I’m having pituitary MRI on Thursday. I confused my 24 hour urine with dexamethasone urine test. My 24 hour urine was high. Also endo said my dexamethasone blood test should have been lower. Saliva was ok. 6 years ago I had a MRI and they did see something but didn’t worry about...

Well, things are getting discouraging. 24 hour urine test came back lower than range. Dexmethasone test worked as it should normally. Lowered ATCH and also dropped cortisol down low. Prolactin was in good range. Now just waiting for 11pm saliva tests. I’m aware how serious Cushings...

Thank you so much. The Hell other than the Hell of feeling so bad and seeing myself decline is not knowing why this is happening. I feel a real sense of relief now because I will probably know soon what has kicked my ass. I really want a chance to beat this and look back and say, “man...

thanks a lot. doing a few more tests to confirm. actually look forward to hearing I have it and go from there and cut it out and hopefully recover not too long from now. what does r/o mean? doing 24 hour urine today and two nights of saliva at 11. Wednesday will be dexamethasone...

Thanks for asking. Endo thinks I have Cushings. AM blood test was real high. Now being worked up for further tests. This is pretty much what I thought even though it’s pretty rare. I have felt so bad for over a year and now his one made the most sense symptom wise and now numbers are...

What are the most common problems regarding cortisoll and men on moderate trt? Just trying to get an idea what I may b facing. Thanks.

Turns out they are running tests at 8am 1 week before my appointment. That's makes me happy. I imagine my cortisol will be low right?

thanks again guys. I can't see endo til Jan 4 but I guess they have discussed Cortisol levels first either high or low after looking at my symptoms. I guess they want me to do the testing after appointment. My GP said he wouldn't run that cuz he doesn't feel comfortable with it? is there...

Thanks guys. No cycles. Just trt. I all of a sudden get cold easily. I’m always cold and never was before coincidentally during this bad time. Also skin and hair are dry now. Way different. T4 is pretty much what I’ve been looking at as well as getting cortisol checked. Either hypo...

my trt dose is 80mg/every 5 days. is adrenal fatigue real? how bad can that be? treatable? thanks.

Hi. I’ve had extreme fatigue, depression, muscle weakness and pain, erectile dysfunction, stopped having dreams, dry skin and hair, gained 8 lbs suddenly, BP spikes, constipation, back and joint pains, etc... for a year now. Turned 50 ironically at this same time and was in best physical and...

I have and read that fatigue, muscle weakness, elevated BP, ed issues, depression, back and neck pain, etc... seems a lot like E2 issues.

do you think it's possible that people like you and I with either low or deficient vitamin D levels have had this forever and symptoms can or did finally catch up with them? kind of makes me wonder because I've read a few posts of people that have addressed this issue after finally finding out...
