> There are adrenal conditions that cause low cortisol, too, as I understand. Is this an endocrinologist you are seeing?
Yes, my second endo in the last 8 months. The first Dr. diagnosed the low cortisol, but told me he didn't think it contributed to my constant fatigue. Sometimes once a Dr. hears you're being treated for depression, they attribute all your physical problems to it. I've read that low cortisol levels can cause fatigue, but this Dr. wasn't convinced and said he couldn't do anything for me. So this new Dr. at my first visit did some blood tests,(the ones in my first post), and again came back low cortisol, AND low testosterone. Anyway, hopefully at my next visit I can get a better explanation of these results.
Thank you for your concern Noa, it means a lot.
