@karenjjames67 Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m glad that you found us. Maybe you could tell us a little more about yourself. Now, we are unable to respond to lab values because no on at MCC is a health professional. But, I’ll bet those with a similar problem will definitely be able to help you!
The doctor who wrote the script for the blood work—what were they looking for?

Hi. My cortisol levels were consistently around 1.0 for years, and no one could pinpoint why.
It wasn’t until I underwent an ACTH stimulation test that we finally identified the underlying issue. Since then, I’ve been taking hydrocortisone, which has made a significant difference in helping me maintain a more stable hormonal balance.
