I have been unwell for about 8 months now with all the symptoms of Addison's Disease(which I only new about recently) I had blood cortisol tests done 1 week apart at 9am.1. 128 nmol/L

2. 250 nmol/L

My gp says this doesn't warrant further investigation despite all of my symptoms. Most other tests were OK apart from MCHC which was high at 352 g/l

Can anyone please advise on these numbers, I would be so grateful. Thank you.

I would ask for an Endocrinologist referral who will be able to order further tests

you never added results

How much levo are you taking

Do you always get same brand at each prescription

please add most recent thyroid and vitamin results

ALWAYS test early morning, last dose levo 24 hours before test

Being under medicated for thyroid will result in adrenals trying to compensate for lack of thyroid hormones

essential to get dose level fine tuned and all four vitamins at OPTIMAL levels

Not what you're looking for?
