Hi Twinkie and Fatnsassy, Cindy here - I decided to join
Thanks for your information! Much appreciated. Im really not sure if he meant it was high or low, but he mentioned addisons, but then he also asked me about stretch marks and other things which sounds more like Cushings than Addisons! lol - I do have a fair few but only on my stomach and they are whitish/purple and not that many considering Ive had 5 children!
So perhaps he thinks Addisons but is covering his bases?
The bloods were drawn at 9.40 in the morning, is that good or bad?
I have been a bit concerned (possibly as Ive been googling - never a good thing! lol). I woke this morning with a severe upset stomach for no reason, also felt very faint and nausious, felt waves of nausea and a funny feeling. Started to feel better once I ate something and had a cup of tea. My pain in my usual fibro spots (my neck and shoulders) is absolutely horrific, like I have never felt it before - pretty much feels like Ive been beaten with a base ball bat. Im wondering if this is related to the cortisol levels or if for some other reason my fibro is playing up badly. Im just watching myself, and if it gets really bad - the nausea etc Ill go somewhere but at this stage it could just be a transient thing or a bug. All too confusing. I guess I need to do this urine test (awaiting ending of AF sorry too much information there!) lol so will do it this weekend or monday and get it back.......it ?should show if I have addisons or cushings?
