Without sufficient cortisol, there is nothing to prevent severe, chronic inflammation. In effect, the immune system is running out of control. Low cortisol leads to increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which lead to an over-activation of the immune system and inflammation. The result is amplification of numerous inflammatory pathways and increased susceptibility to developing inflammatory diseases, including autoimmune diseases, mood disorders, atopy, malignancy, chronic fatigue syndrome, chronic pain syndromes, obesity, glucose dysregulation and fibromyalgia.

The result of which could lead to a state of autoimmunity. This explains why hydrocortisone and or prednisone are used to treat autoimmune diseases. Is it possible that many of us have undiscovered and or seronegative (positive for but negative tests) auto immune issues?
