Cortisol deficiency, but with weight gain

I’m assuming you’re in MN since you mentioned U of M but would love to know who finally figured this out. I’m going through the same thing. Gained 50lbs in a year which is a lot when you were only 100lbs to begin with!
I see someone in endo. At the beginning of June but that’s just with Park Nicollet

No, I’m in Michigan.
I got ACTH stimulation testa.
That’s how I knew it was coming from the pituitary gland, which was making me gain weight instead of losing weight.
Have your cortisol checked first. Then you will have to find a place that will do that because the doctors these days are useless and you have to research to find a good one.
