Low cortisol yet only saliva test done: What to do next?

I personally know individuals who have been to the Fl location, they ended up In Minnesota. That’s a possibility right now. I get tested each month and watching that cortisol. Main factor throwing things off is the replacement that was a botched job. Being careful than ever before. Know a patient who ended up at USF. She has secondary. But nothing is off the table.

Appreciate everything! Next Monday is my 3 rd heart monitor for Tachycardia. Here we go!
Then Friday epidural for sympathetic nerve going to knee.
Asked pcp to run. CBC w/wo diff and morning cortisol as last month, went down 2 pts and prior to that it was up. Done with my current endo. Will be calling for appt. If I can’t get in quick with Mayo then off to USF. Something has to give. I wonder if all the pain from the TKR is not connected to low cortisol. My first test last December was 0.069. Now 10 was 12.
It’s Florida, being a women, post menopausal. The stories I can tell you about health care. Hubby was diagnosed with Guillain Barre by my phone photos that went to Indiana University. They were intending to just put him in a nursing home! I am a fighter, they hated how I stepped in after 4 days and no diagnosis.

It is possible that patients may travel between locations. For example, Mayo Clinic in Florida's proton beam facility is not yet completed and patients may have to travel to Arizona or Minnesota for treatment. More often however, the patient does not need to travel to benefit from the team approach at Mayo Clinic. Clinicians and specialists can consult with peer experts between campuses for the benefit of the patients.
@taftst1, I'm glad to hear that nothing is off the table and that you are exploring your options. I hope that you will be able to find care close to home, but knowing that you're able to travel gives you additional options. I just found this in my searching for you. The Carling Adrenal Center https://www.adrenal.com/ is located in Florida. I know nothing about it, so I can't endorse it or make a knowledgeable recommendation. I just want you to know there are options to explore including Mayo Clinic.
