Cortisol deficiency, but with weight gain

@mh10, did the genotropin and/or carnivore diet work for you? I've had fatigue, hair loss, 50 lb gain and other symptoms for 5 years. My cortisol was finally tested and it was 2 in the AM, 2.6 in the PM but the 24 hour urine test was 8.6. An endocrinologist turned down the referral because the urine test was higher. 50lbs heavier and so exhausted and doctors just tell me to eat less even though I keep a food log and don't overeat. I'm so discouraged. Thyroid was tested as well and it always shows normal.

I have similar issues. I had hernia repairs yes plural, only had a liquid diet for one month. I lost not one lb.
I have Lupus sle, Chrons which alone should make me under weight.
I have all the oligist as my daughter says. Going to a Hepatologist next week. Liver # off.
Inflammation is a beast, Dr have not beaten.
If you do not have a great insurance plan you will not be referred to specialist. You can change in October. Review your insurance plan. Remember salesmen are paid to get you to change to theirs. They are nice but they work for insurance company.
I am insurance poor but I can pick my Dr.
