cortisol level (again)

Good morning all.

Having had a cortisol test 2 days ago my levels have dropped from 30 to 22 within two weeks despite bumping up my steroids to 7.5mg from 5.5mg. Should I be worried 😟? Is this because I am taking7.5mg Predisolone.

My GP referred me to an endocrinologist at the hospital. Having spoken to the receptionist yesterday she told me that the referral had been rejected and referred back to the GP. I really feel very confused and would welcome any advice. Thank-you.

I'm afraid i have noting helpful to say, and maybe nobody else did, but I'm wondering if your post went astray for a while, as it seems some did a few days ago. Perhaps try again?
