Finally got the test results back and my cortisol was high. 85.3 and
Ref.
Range is 10.0 to 80.00. Don't know what this means. Dr. didn't write
any
note about it. Creatinine was also high, but he said this was okay.
Everything else came out in range, but now that I look back on it, there
is
no test result for the A1c. Hmmm... Guess I need to call on that!


When are you due to talk to him? (or your endo?)

Four months.


Ouch! Damn! You've had creatine issues before, I seem to remember? So
maybe those results aren't far off previous readings? But I don't
remember you getting out-of-range cortisol previously, although
Susan's been suggesting it for years. 4 months sounds a long time to
wait...

Yes. Creatinine issues come and go but, whatever they test for that in the
blood tests is coming out in range.

I did not have an out of range cortisol until a couple of months ago (I
think it is that long now) when a naturopath said it was low and wanted to
give me cortisol. She also said I had low thyroid and wanted to give me
that. She did not give me a copy of my labs and I didn't ask because I was
still waiting for some more, the results of which I will get on Sat.
However... I didn't believe these labs! That is why my Endo. tested me.
Thyroid is in range. Smack in the middle. I see no way shape or form that
my thyroid could be low. I just don't believe her and frankly I'm not even
sure I should believe her on my allergy tests.
