Adrenals and high cortisol

[lynx]

This article is very similar to the stories found on health unlocked. But of course there is no such thing as adrenal problems...Dr knows best of course.

Interesting that weight is put on the normal gp would only expect to inspect if there was weight loss involved.

I wonder what anti depressants she was asked to take? Maybe as a last resort someone with incurable anorexia could have some treatment linked to this experience.

Tags: adrenal, tumour anti depressants weight loss weight gain cortisol, adrenal. The tag system on this site is still very naff sorry to those looking for the adrenal tag but of course there is not such thing so therefore no tag for adrenal.

What is the co tag?

My GP tested my adrenals (but not my thyroid) when I put on 3 stone in 6 weeks. But I also had other symptoms, including nausea, fainting, dizziness, headaches etc. I thought that "traditionally" high cortisol caused weight gain and low cause weight loss just as hypo T causes weight gain and hyper causes weight loss (in the traditional mind set).
