Been having many symptoms for years, including exercise intolerance, hypoglycemia, nausea, dizziness, low body temp, cold intolerance, etc etc. Just did an adrenal panel (saliva).
Cortisol results are: Morning - 33 (H), Noon - 4 (L), Afternoon - 4, Midnight - 2.
DHEA: 6
Insulin: <3 fasting and non fasting
Progesterone: 51
Salivary IgA: 13
Same test 4 years ago:
Cortisol results are: Morning - 14, Noon - 10, Afternoon - 7, Midnight - 3.
DHEA: 8
Insulin: 6 fasting and <3 non fasting
Progesterone: 17
Salivary IgA: 16
Doctor is starting me on a low dose of hydrocortisone morning and afternoon. 2.5 for both now and increasing gradually. Anyone see a cortisol curve like this? Opinions as to what is going on?
