Moggie, if you have time, I'd like your thoughts on this series on Hashimoto from a neurologist. I think it makes tons of sense.

I'm interested in this as well. My cortisol has always been higher than OP's.

Which post is your response on Moggie?

Hi Which test did you have? My Endo says the only reliable test is a 24 hour urine collection with a cortisol ( low dose) tablet at midnight, prescribed and a blood test at 9 am.. If you did no have this test ,personally I would do before worrying etc. I know if her patients have an y other test she insists on this test, usually with very different results.

Best wishes,

Jackie

Hi it, I've been posting this video because I think after many, many years studying this difficult disease without real answers. I think this series is very compelling. He does touch on cortisol in several videos. There is a series but they are short.
