@mrmie happy to hear from you and wishing you all the best. Hope we can stay in touch. Rhoda.
Thank you @rckj for your response! I'm so glad Mayo has been helpful for you. Currently I'm waiting for a referral to another doc. With the waxing and waning of my symptoms over the years, I'm wondering if I have an isolated ACTH deficiency. My cortisol was 8 a year ago with a proper response to ACTH stim test. My endo said my cortisol was normal. I actually became worse a few months after that but had no cortisol drawn. My cortisol level was 17 last month which makes sense since I am able to do house chores and enjoy getting out some. It just seems like once I hit a certain level of activity, my body can't keep up and I relapse to the point of barely able to shower and it takes months to recover to just half of what I was. I thought I could handle a part time job this past Spring but relapsed a month later. So I'm on a mission for answers but I feel in order for my bloodwork to show anything, I will have to fall into a serious relapse. Thanks for listening Rhoda!
