has everyone on this site tried cortef, if not, why not? ...and my test results

[Guest guest]

if one's cortisol is low, isn't cortef the first line of treatment? on that

note, i'm on 12.5 mg of

cortef and have been for a couple weeks, (i worked up from 7.5 mg), but i have

to say i see

no benefit so far. it really worries me. here are the results of my 24 hour

cortisol saliva test

in order from am to pm...

They were measured in NG/ML... .61, .44, .65, .15 How low are these? The scales

say it

should be 1.0-8.0 for the am, and .1-1.0 for the pm. Am I to assume that very

low cortisol is

worse than very high? Because perhaps that means your cortisol was high for a

long time and

now your body is finally having trouble producing it?
